I really think that movie is going to be a cult hit one day. Or at least I hope so. I fucking loved it.

Neither, Rubber Factory for life motherfucker.

Harry, are you awake? Good. I know who killed Dora Mae.

Someone give him a job as a sex machine! I'LL STRAP MYSELF IN!

Madam Web: Since we didn't have the license to actually kill Mary Jane, just send her off to some worse-than-death transdimensional, purgatorial hell-hole, let's go try to find her!

The one with Brendan and his dad and the pizza club Coach McGuirk keeps trying to get into is the one that I will always stick with.

Ugggggghhhhhhhh no. DON'T YOU. FORGET ABOUT ME.

Props to Lie To Me. A really underrated ep.

Mine has always been "The Pool Guy" followed by "The Bizarro Jerry." But the write-up of "The Cheever Letters" really reminded me how funny that one is.

I'm still on the VanDerWerff train of thought that Season 5 was the best. Season 3 was great and had tremendous individual episodes, but the season-arch wasn't nearly as comprehensive or ultimately rewarding as 5. 5 had the best balance of good/bad Spike, it had a bevy of showcase episodes (Fool For Love, The Body,

School Hard basically begged us to love Spike after he killed the Annoited Bitch. It worked.

Also Curmudgeon, PTA is my second favorite episode to Cape Feare and you're totally right that it weirdly doesn't get the love it deserves.

It is a bit overblown. I think season 13 was the last one I genuinely enjoyed (although the last 2 seasons or so have been surprisingly inspired, knock on wood), but you can definitely see a decline between 8 and 9, and then again between 10 and 11, and once more between 13 and everything else. Still argue that the

"Not Fade Away" and "The Attic" are great picks. As are The Shield, 24, Twin Peaks… just thinking of the last few hours of The Shield always gives me chills.

Shame on you for not putting "Work It" on an upper-plateau that every other one of your episode choices had to grovel before.

Great, now I'm just thinking of Dollhouse. On that note- Epitaph 1? Anyone? Anyone?

A bit of a controversial pick but… it's justified.

How many times do I have to say, chicken wings?

No. Heroes- "The Wall." A fourth season episode of a show just hitting its stride before it was prematurely cancelled, it featured Peter Petrelli and Zackary "Sylar" Quinto trying to break free from Sylar's mind- by breaking down the metaphorical "wall" that hid Sylar's deep-seated humanity from his
