What is your favorite episode?

[cynical dreamer]

What is you favorite episode of science fiction/fantasy television?

Name the episode title and the show it's from, and if so inclined give a reason why it's your favorite.

Mine:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Episode: "Hush"

Why? The Giles exposition scene and the fact that he brought his own theme music for it. Oh and the episode is outstanding as a whole.

Buffy Passion Part 1 and 2,

Passion was only one part.

 

[shivkala]

Babylon 5 "To Sleep in Light" was pure beauty and nicely wrapped up the series, while still leaving some things open, giving us hope that the B5 universe would continue

Futurama "Jurassic Bark," "Godfellows," "The Why of Fry"

 

[Ethros]

Buffy- Becoming (1&2)

Just the best rollercoaster ride I've ever been on

 

[1001001]

There are way too many to mention them all, so I'll just quickly mention one favorite.

Firefly: Out of Gas

Absolutely perfect television, IMHO.

 

[Ruaidhri]

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine "Duet"

 

[Agent Richard07]

"The Debt, Part II" - Xena: Warrior Princess.

This episode was filled with flashbacks where we meet a formidable woman named Lao Ma who shows Xena "The Way". In the Xenaverse, Lao Ma was the one who wrote the Tao Te Ching, giving credit to her bed-ridden but ruthless dictator husband Lao Tzu so that he could be remembered as a wise and compassionate leader.
