What I like about it: Well of course the main thing I like about it is that it's our first intro to Buffy and the other characters. And it's been said many times, but the opening teaser with Darla really is a great set-up of the show with the twisting of expectations

Farscape.
Look At The Princess trilogy
Nerve/Hidden Memory

[frelling_tralk]

What I like about it: I love Nerve/TheHidden Memory for being the first two-parter that Farscape attempted, and I really felt like that whole arc with Scorpuis kickstarted the show into greatness. Plus it was the start of dark and tortured John, I was always a sucker for that

What I don't like about it: Ooh that's tough, there really isn't anything I can think that I didn't like about those episodes tbh!

Favorite line: Aeryn's confrontation with Crais when she leaves him screaming in the chair <3

Look At The Princess

[frelling_tralk]

What I like about it: I really enjoyed how much that three-parter was dedicated to exploring John and Aeryn's relationship, plus there were some nice friendship moments for John and D'Argo (love the scene where John walks in on D'Argo and China having sex lol), and it was great to see Rygel being more useful in his advice on royal politics. It was a good episode for the ensemble. The set design was fabulous too, it really was a three-parter that felt suitably epic

Buffy - once more with feeling

[frelling_tralk]

What I like about it: Well everything really lol. I love that Joss went all-out in making a musical episode, I loved the dance choreography, I loved the singing, and of course I loved it ending on a Spuffy kiss

Something I would have changed to make the episode better: I didn't appreciate Xander's confession being treated as a throw-away joke, people were dancing themselves to death because of that spell, and he still kept quiet!? I would have written him as a lot more remorseful and torn about it when Giles mentions the deaths

Or had it be the Trio or Sweet just comes to town for some reason.

[frelling_tralk]

Ah yes, the trio being the ones behind it would have made a lot more sense!

Tabula Rasa (BtVS) aaaaand maybe ... The Eleventh Hour (DW)?

Tabula Rasa

[frelling_tralk]

What I like about it: It was a really fun idea to wipe the slate clean and see how the characters then got on with one another. I particularly enjoyed the Giles/Anya pairing, the Giles and 'Randy' scenes, and the Joan and Randy scenes of course. Plus Spuffy kiss at the end <3

Re: Tabula Rasa

[kikimay]

I thought it was interesting that Xander and Anya were the only ones of the main couples to show absolutely zero interest in one another after their minds were wiped

Really though! It was meant as "they really aren't good for each other" or it was just casual? Interesting point!

I agree on Anya and Giles, their bits were hilarious!

Re: Tabula Rasa

[frelling_tralk]

It seemed mostly casual to me, probably an indication of how little the writers cared about that relationship in fact! It was certainly noticeable when you contrast it with Willow/Tara's attraction being pushed so strongly though, and Buffy and Spike really connecting as well, yet Xander and Anya barely made eye contact with one another. TR made a Giles/Anya shipper of me lol
