This one just didn't have that Liars magic, IMO. It's not that I'm bothered by the genre change; the songs were just really basic and draggy, especially toward the end. That worked in a perverse way on Drum's Not Dead, because they were dealing with ambient and really whacked-out sounds, but as people have noted, this…

Let's do this, guys. Top ten episodes. I truly, honestly couldn't narrow it down, so here's 11 that changed my notion of what this show, and TV in general, could be (yeah, this show was a formative experience for me). Oh, and they're also entertaining as hell.
