Wow, decent episodes I'll definitely be watching. I'm much more of a season one and two fan though. Cant argue with Proving Ground and IaMD I & II! :thumbsup:

 

[ialfan]

Looks good. Though I don't get why they include Damage but not Azati Prime or the Forgotten but include the mostly standalone E2.

 

[JiNX-01]

I haven't seen any rhyme or reason to their selections... the one a few months ago wasn't too logical (if you'll pardon the expression ), either.

 

[Jack Bauer]

I wonder if they just picked them at random.

I hope so. Because I'd hate to think someone put Vanishing Point on the list on purpose!

 

[Captain59]

Excellent. They must have liked the viewerhip from the last marathon to have another one!

 

[JiNX-01]

OK, SciFi is showing 16 episodes. If you could pick the episodes for a SciFi marathon, what would they be?

Here's my list:

S1
Unexpected
Silent Enemy
Shuttlepod One

S2
Minefield
Dead Stop
Singularity
Cease Fire

S3
Azati Prime
Damage
Countdown
Zero Hour

S4
Observer Effect
IaMD I
IaMD II
Demons
Terra Prime

I've got to admit, I have trouble pinning it down to just 16! My list constantly changes but I'd probably go with:

Broken Bow
The Andorian Incident
Cold Front
Cease Fire
The Expanse
Impulse
Proving Ground
Azati Prime
Damage
Home
Babel One
United
The Aenar
Demons
Terra Prime

Quite fancy Twilight and Similitude as well. See what I mean? I'm such an addict and it's just so difficult chosing...

Boy, it is tough, isn't it?

Some good choices, except for seaon 3. You should include The episode where Earth was destroyed and T'Pol cared for a sick Archer. Ironically, the ONE AND ONLY good episode from that year.

I don't know ENTERPRISE as well as the other shows. Does your list include the one where Hoshi goes through the transporter then slowly disapears only to have the whole thing be an illusion? I always liked that one (mostly because it centered on Hoshi).

I agree Twilight is a really great episode, but I was trying to put together a season 3 list that had some continuity to it. And if I were going to use a stand-alone episode, it would have been MY favorite : Similitude. I thought that was a terrific moral dilemma story (and another step on the road to hell for Archer).

No, Vanishing Point isn't on my list because while it was great to see an episode featuring Hoshi, the outcome was utterly pointless.

I would have preferred that the "aliens" had been real and that she had actually saved the ship. She was initially drawn as a fraidy cat and having her face a real threat would have been a huge step forward for her. Getting off the transporter and discovering it was all in her head -- i.e., "oh good it was just a bad dream" -- won't have the same impact on her as a real trial by fire which would have given her more confidence in herself.

For some of these the episode that preceeded them appeared in the last marathon.

 

[zenophite]

rewatching these episodes is really reinforcing for me the fact that Bakula and Keating were woefully miscast. Also Connor Trineer was definitely the most charismatic of the Ent actors but I just still can't get into the "good ol' boy in space" thing.

 

[commodore64]

I think Bakula and Keating were great and seeing a few episodes again just reinforced they were fun.

I think keating grew into his role by Season 4. Season 3 did sidetrack him a bit with that silly 'pissing match' with Heyes, but by Season 4 his development was coming along nicely. I think the Section 31 would have made him.
Bakula to me was just micast from the start and just grew basically worse as the seasons went on.

I agree about connor, he was the most charasmatic out of the cast. The good ole boy was a bit annoying, but it got better when they dropped that in Season 3 and 4.
