Unaired.
Oops. Well, I liked all of the unaired episodes, but probably like The Message best. Though I don't know if it's essential for the movie.
Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

Supposedly, none of the episdodes, aired or unaired, are essential for the movie.
Not that I've seen it and know, though.

Yeah, none of the unaired episodes are really jumping out at me as being necessary for the movie.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's also been criticized by some (including me) for taking the trope of the "whore with a heart of gold" and.... doing nothing with it. Not even one little twist. Pretty much every stereotype is played out. No subverting whatsoever.
I disagree with this somewhat. The hookers' "hearts"/characters weren't ever an issue; they were just fighting for what was theirs. It also doesn't take into account how the show had (at least tried to) subverted the hooker trope in general by creating companions.

Punishingly Intricate
I loved HoG for the Mal/Nandi. (or Nandy? whatevah) So hot!
My main problem with it was that the Heart of Gold hookers were so generic looking and such bad actors.

HoG would have been a wash-out for me if it weren't for Melinda Clarke. I love her lots.
"Message" has some lovely bits but the egregious stupidity of everyone on that episode makes my brain go BOOM. Let alone the OMG no-sense-making basis for the whole story. Like, whaddaya mean organ theft by storing someone's other organs in your own body? WTF? What do you do with your own organs--shrink'em and shove'em up your ass or what?
I do love "Trash" though. I have huge fondness of YoSaffBridge, and the fun caper-plot doesn't hurt.

It is always nice to be reminded that we share a brain.

I need a new tagline.. submissions are accepted.
I just finished the dvds after only watching three of the aired episodes years ago..
I love all the episodes.. though I had no feelings to revisit the Train Job.
Trash is the best of the unaired episodes in my option, but really they all are 'fun' (if not so strong in storyline).

Yeah, except for that part about my never having read/watched any of that Hitchhiker stuff. *shuns self*

Guys, I'm not entirely sure on the policy (or how stricltly it's adhered to) but aren't unaired eps not supposed to be discussed here? Or is that a bygone rule, since they're not likely to be aired?
(And also I agree with Perkins.)
