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.
I fell down and got confused. Willow fixed me. She's gay.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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.)

Actually, SciFi's going to air them soon, right?
I think the unaired episodes fell under the two-weeks-following-DVD-release policy.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Trash -- makes no sense, clunky plotting, but reasonably fun.
Message -- makes less than no sense, uneven plotting, "fun" in the dramatic tragedy while being witty sense.
HOG -- makes no sense, clunky plotting, no fun at all, and that's before you get to the parts that inspire dark plans of kidnapping and forced re-education.
For some reason, the making no sense thing is standing out, here. Still and all, catch me in the right mood and sense-making isn't always the priority.

I forget how many weeks the following-DVD-release policy is, but however many weeks it is has long since passed. So, yeah, they're fair game.
