Oh lawd, I looooove mushrooms but I was off them for a good couple of months after reading VanDerMeer's books. 

As someone who dislikes Angelo - dislikes him almost viscerally! - it was such a pleasure to see him get taken apart by the adoptive parents. Go away Angelo, you are terrible. 

Dear Zac Posen,

This was the episode I used to introduce my roommate to the series. It didn't completely work - she watched several more episodes but never really connected with the show - but she did quote it DAILY for a good month or two.

I did not know that existed, and I'm going to pretend I still don't.

Oh, yes, obviously one doesn't have to be Catholic, or even religious in any way, to love that episode. What I mean is that for me stories like "Gethsemane" (or, switching media, Mary Doria Russell's "The Sparrow") hit particularly hard, I think because they get at the part of Catholicism I loved and still miss and

BattleCRAB?!?! Huh. I always thought of them as spider-y.

Ahhhhhh, Gethsemane. I'm a (very) lapsed Catholic and that episode is right in my sweet spot. Can't wait for next week!

Season 3 was when I started watching B5 - stumbled across a mid-season episode on some Saturday rerun, I think. The credits hooked me immediately.

"And the Rock Cried Out" - best use of music in a television show ever, or BEST USE OF MUSIC IN A TELEVISION SHOW EVER?

And the fighters that deploy in a clump and then scatter like a lethal dandelion! (Those fighters are so cute! Like a little sea urchin crossed with a squeaky cat toy or something. And then you are dead.)
