Nope. Hands down, the best quote has to be Simon gingerly touching his face and murmuring "This must be what going mad feels like." I love the completely bemused expression on his face. Classic.

See, the Reaves in the series and movie worked for me only because of this episode. Once I saw Serenity, I remembered this episode and Mal's speech about will while he's being interrogated. "The only way to deal with that kind of will, I suspect, is to become it." So to me, the "happy gas" on Miranda made the original

You know what hooked me on this show, when I saw it 4 years ago?
The complete and utter despair on Mal's face as the Alliance ships descend. I have never seen anyone on a television show that so completely embodied devastation like that.
Also, Inara's shy, startled answer to Book's question about Mal being fascinating.

I gave up on this show somewhere around the middle of season 4. I haven't watched it since, and to be honest, I haven't missed it. But I'm disappointed they didn't bring back my favorite patient— The nameless rape victim from "One Day, One Room" in season 3 (I believe). She was one of my favorite characters—she

That final battle between Azula and Zuko was INCREDIBLE. Letting the music take over for any dialogue was priceless. Easily one of my favorite scenes from the finale.
And nothing more about Zuko's apology to Iroh? I'll admit up front, it made me cry. And I didn't even cry during the Notebook, ya'll.
This is a great

Also, can I comment on how ridiculously fantastic Spy Daddy's Southern accent is in "The Indicator?"

Reading these episodes in black and white makes me realize how wildly Sydney's loyalties and sympathies shift during the second season. The genius of Alias, I'm realizing, is that while you're watching it, you think "That is a completely reasonable reaction to that problem. If my dad had brainwashed me into being a

One of my favorite quotes from the Quentin Tarantino episodes is "I'm here in Sloane's…tastefully minimalistic office."
Also, I think he checks his email once…?

Soooo glad this is back! I have missed being a giant nerd with you all!

@burnthemidnight: you said exactly what I meant, but 10 times more elegantly. I was so excited about these episodes, I lost my words!

It was my impression from "Zuko Alone" that Ursa kills the grandfather to save Zuko, and then Ozai banishes her to prevent her from telling the real story of what happened.

But seriously…Sokka's slick "Water tribe" exit line is not mentioned? I rewound and watched that three or four times, laughing hysterically each time. Which did not please my 10-year-old brother.

Lover's Walk…
Spike's speech in the magic shop is hands down my favorite moment of Season 3. When he got done, I yelled "Finally!" at the TV screen. A great speech that was a long, long time coming.
