Objects in Space for me, hands down, though Hush and Becoming come close.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Hey. New board.
My favorite is "Objects in Restless Gas. With Feeling."

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
"The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco"--the single greatest hour of television ever produced.
See, as far as favorite hour of television, I have to keep going back to "Fall Out", the last episode of The Prisoner, which I am convinced is the single ballsiest "FUCK YOU!" to just about the entire "civilized" world I've ever seen in a supposedly mass market television show. I'm not sure you can EVER top that without permanent injuries.
That said, NUMERO CINCO is a 5 star for me.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
When I finally got to see more of Firefly than "The Train Job" and "Ariel"--when I got the DVDs--everything connected. There weren't nearly enough eps, and you could say it never had a chance to suck, but it hit me like it was everything Joss leading up to. Buffy and Angel opening acts? Well, no not at all, but blew me away.
So I'd agree with Victor Infante: "The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco," 'cause how could I not, after years of watching Lucha Libre? But "Objects in Space," very close.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

OK. I can accept that.

As long as you are still paying homage to the sheer, unadulterated brilliance that is NUMERO CINCO!!!

Sorry, but I tried to watch that episode 4 times before I succeeded in watching it all the way through. The thing I liked the most about the episode? Nilly's review. Otherwise, it's all OoG and War Stories for me. As for single greatest ME ep? I don't know I can say. Any greatest ep I proposed would actually be more in the line of favoritist ep. That said, then I have to go for OMWF, Hush, Restless, the Body...take your pick. As much as I like Angel, the show was always second string for me. If there's no Buffy, there's at least Angel.

Given that you're a self-avowed anarchist, victor, I'm not surprised.
But NUMERO CINCO...where did that come from?
Who wrote that episode - I've forgotten? Was it Edlund?
It was so....from the heart, and had such familariarity with the subject matter. It showed RESPECT! For something so...I want to say ridiculous, because I didn't grow up with that particular cultural trope, but I can so appreciate it. Even when MST3K did those kind of movies, they handled them just right.
But, as I said: "Fall Out". Saw it in the junior high/high school years and it kinda was a primal/formative experience. As if the rest of THE PRISONER wasn't warping enough at that age.

Written and directed by Jeff Bell, and yeah, it captured everything that was strange and magical about los luchadores.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
The thing I liked the most about the episode? Nilly's review.
I liked the leaves on the floor. Just the visual. That was OiS, right? Dang, I'm sleepy now and really REALLY need to put the laptop away and go to bed.

You are remembering correct. Where River thought she was holding a branch, but was really holding a gun.
No force in the 'verse...
