I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

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

Firefly's Out of Gas. IJS.

Much as I love Joss and Tim, for me it'll always be "Jose Chung's From Outer Space". "Restless" gives it a good run for its money though.

Ann, that's a ferret.

No opinion on the worst Angel ep. Nothing really stands out for badness.

Buffy? Gotta be "Doublemeat Palace." Hands down.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I actually think The Body is better than Out of Gas, but I love them both.

I watched Doublemeat Palace the other day, and it wasn't as bad as all that. I think, though, it may have benefited from me watching episodes back to back. I also have a very wrong love for Season 6, so...

I think the best hour of Jossverse TV was "Home" but I think the best hour of TV I've seen this last 10-11 years was either "In My Time of Dying" or "What Is And What Should Never Be" even though both of those have the dubious honor of raising expectations on a show where you should have the bar set the same as you'd set it to, say a Keanu Reeves movie, so you can be pleasantly surprised when it's enjoyable.

(Best Hour of TV, 1980s US editon: that one Magnum PI that I can't remember the name of. Best Hour of TV, early to mid 90s editon: Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose. All rankings totally subjective, natch.)

I give it a lot of points for showing just how awful the service industry can be. I'd nominate "Bad Eggs" for worst Buffy ep. Not even the Wild Bunch shout-out makes it worth watching again.

The "Did you see the sun rise today?" ep?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

that one Magnum PI that I can't remember the name of.

The one where he's treading water the entire time and suffering hallucinations?

Is the M*A*S*H ep where Henry goes away (and subsequently gets shot down) 70s or 80s? Because that one and the one from the perspective of the soldier that they were fighting to keep alive (with the clock in the bottom corner) were great.

"Did You See the Sunrise?"?

That's actually two different episodes. One is from the soldier's POV, but he's mostly OK once he gets past the OR; the other is when they only have x number or minutes (or something like that) before blood loss will cause brain damage (or some irreversible condition - possibly death).

Art Crawl!!!

That was 1974. (The one where Henry leaves.)
