Show a broad range of emotions and display vulnerability without it detracting from the badassedness would be on my list as well.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
JCVD showed a wide range of emotions. I mean, he wore pink.

Getting roughed up by Iceburgh is not the sort of vulnerability I had in mind.

I can never remember episode titles, but I wouldn't say "Home" is the best X-File. I'd recommend "Final Repose of Clyde Bruckmann" before that or "The Unnatural" or even the one with the genie. But "Home" definitely packs a punch. And I didn't need that particular earworm.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I watched Vampire Diaries this afternoon, and man, that continues to be a fast paced show. I may not like everything that happens, but there is no point yet where I am waiting for a resolution-- ny resolution.
Also, I think it is weird that Katherine seems to have chemistry with Stefan, and Elena does not, when they are the same actress, and clearly the show is written for Stefan and Elena to have chemistry.

Evil is always good for chemistry. It's like a physical law.

Wasn't Katherine wearing the obligatory leather pants?
"Jose Chung's From Outer Space" is by far my favorite X-Files episode (with "War of the Coprophages" and "bad Blood" taking silver and bronze), but I think "Home" has a fair claim on being the most powerful and memorable.
