Torchwood 17: NYC
They really don't know how to keep a secret, do they?
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, I've been sucked into the wormhole of Farscape fandom... I gave up on waiting for iTunes to release season 2 and just bought the DVDs....
What are the best episodes of season 2? (Don't tell me what happens.)

Boy.
That's tough. "Crackers Don't Matter" is fun. The three parter "Look at the Princess". .. uh, "The Way We Weren't", "Liars, Guns and Money" (another 3-parter)
Are you really not going to watch them all? Because with Farscape it really pays to watch them in sequence due to the increasing arciness of the show.

No, I am going to watch them all. I'd just like to know ahead of time that, say, the particular EP I'm about to watch is considered especially awesome. If that makes any sense. (Not sure why I like to know that....)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Well, the premiere, "Mind the Baby," is essential in resolving the finale cliffhangers. I also appear to have liked "Crackers Don't Matter," "The Way We Weren't," "Out of Their Minds," "Won't Get Fooled Again" (which is cracktastically awesome), and the "Liars, Guns, and Money" trilogy followed by the finale.
But, like sumi said, you should watch it all in sequence!

I think "Liars, Guns, and Money" 3-parter is one of the best things they did, period, so that'd be my pick. But season 2 has a lot of excellent episodes.
Also quite a few awful ones, so be prepared for that.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

That might be the better way to go - list the eps that aren't good. I'm totally spacing (ahem) on what they were, but I remember there were some bad ones. I don't remember there being "quite a few", though, but YAwfulMV.

Bad/meh episodes include "Taking the Stone" ("the boringest episode that ever boringed"), "Home on the Remains," "Dream a Little Dream," and "The Locket." I have "Vitas Mortis," "My Three Crichtons," "Beware of Dogs," and "A Clockwork Nebari" described as okay/all right. And "The Ugly Truth" is "not extremely strong, but not bad."

Yeah, I thought "Vitas Mortis" was predictable, and just OK overall.
I can't find an episode listing for the DVD box set, but at the Henson site implies "Dream A Little Dream" comes before "Mond [sic] the Baby."
WTF?

Art Crawl!!!
Events in that episode happen before "Mind the Baby" but it aired afterwards (and rightly so). . . plus, "Dream a Little Dream" isn't one of the best episodes.
