There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

and the group I watched XF with had seen so many commercials for it by the time it finally premiered that for months afterwards we could send each other into giggles just by proclaiming "THE THOUSAND YEARS ARE OVER!" with a stabbing motion.

I was similarly brainwormed by the ads for Southern Gothic: "Someun's at de do'"

Too weird, I earwormed myself with that same phrase this weekend.

That was American Gothic, fool. Great show. Creepy as fuck.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I liked the Screwtape Letters-like ep of Millenium. The four demons and the kid whizzing in their coffee.

Hey! This could be a slumbernut in a minor key.

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

Now, I only saw the first few episodes of Millennium before giving up on the show. (Too monotonously grim, I thought.) I was told the seasons 2 and 3 were more complex and arc-y, and less Lunatic Of the Week. I'd like to see *some* of the key episodes of the S1, now that the set is out on DVD, but I don't want to Netflix the entire set. Can someone give me a quick list of episodes worthwhile/important for later arcs so that I can selectively Netflix them?

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

I was told the seasons 2 and 3 were more complex and arc-y, and less Lunatic Of the Week.

Yes and no. For instance, the first season got pretty arcy as it went along. Also, the final season was, despite arcy-ness, basically a different series with some of the same characters. It had some great episodes though, including a memorable guest appearence by James Marsters as a deranged veteran.

One of the best hours of television ever.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

including a memorable guest appearence by James Marsters as a deranged veteran.

I read this too quickly, because despite the fact that I saw this episode, I read your post as "....James Marsters as a deranged veterinarian."
