"Wishful Thinking" is totally going on my funniest episodes list. "Is this all there is?!"
Amy, how can we agree on so much and yet pick such different S1 episodes? I guess I'll have to chalk it up to show's excellent fodder.
I think our criteria might just be different. I really have to love the whole episode to put it on a top favorites list. And I love the end of, say, Devil's Trap in unholy and slightly embarrassing ways, but the rest of the ep is just sort of setup for me, so.
I think our criteria might just be different.
I do like your episodes, even though we only overlap on Faith (bless! Hoodie of fraternal caring!). I think you're right, though, in that gut punch moments get an episode rated higher for me. I do like the entire eps that I quoted, but they all contain moments that just slay me.
You guys are why I love this board. There is no one true way to love this show, but that we all love it is a given. Which leads to such lovely thinky thoughts and new ways of seeing things.
Now, back to your lists. Gimme moar!
I'm going to the store for microwave burritos but I will try to think of lists while I'm out.
I'll leave you with a request... top 5 fan videos, please.
5 Funniest:
1) Tall Tales: For those of you who have not heard the story, I watched this in a Seattle hotel room with Jilli, Cass, and Plei, then we hung out and watched vids for a bit, then we walked down to the valet to collect the car, and were still laughing so hard that the valet seemed dubious about giving us the car. GOOD TIMES!
For the rest, it's pretty much for the same reasons as what ita said.
Changing Channels:
Hollywood Babylon:
Bad Day At Black Rock:
Monster Movie: Lederhosen!
Tall Tales: Lady in Red dancing scene.
He really didn't seem sure that I was okay to drive. The fact we kept bursting into laughter for no apparent reason likely did not help. Good times...
Not a list.
If you're tired of the spam, please say so. But I share because I love.

S1 top five:
1. Asylum. I still flinch when Sam shoots Dean, I can't help it! But their dynamic, Sam's rebellious resentment, the utter creeptasticness of the thing!
2. Dead in the Water. Which I always type as Dean in the water. That insight into Dean as a kid, Amy Acker in a bathtub!
3. Nightmare. The first time I felt a serious HSQ moment with the show was when Max's connection to Sam is revealed.
4. Home. THAT PHONE CALL. THEIR LITTLE FACES.
5. Devil's Trap. OMGDEMONJOHN. Ahem.
Positions and presence subject to change on whim.
