Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

We are seriously watching all the cold opens for S3 and rating them now.

Although we're not quite done with the season -- we have 2 episodes to go (Amy is still undercover in the prison).

t edit Nothing with The Vulture can possibly be the best cold open. As soon as we see him, we hit the back button.

That was some mighty fine pregnancy lampshading.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Bearing in mind we haven't watched the last 2 episodes of S3, my contenders for best cold open are: vending machine on fire, suitcase auction, or (my personal favorite) Holt dancing.

Thrive to spite them

Vending machine is my favorite.

I have a huge weakness for Holt. My actual favorite cold open is from S2, when Amy is late and they're all guessing why, and Holt guesses right and yells "HOT DAMN!" No cold open has been funnier to me yet.

Your favorites are my favorites, Tep! Holt acting slightly ooc is gold.

ETA Not really ooc. Unexpectedly.

My absolute favorite is the Holt Dance Off. I've watched that one over and over again, and it's perfection!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hula hoop!
