Yep, not much to disagree with here, although I'd probably add The Blessing Way. But yep, everything here is superb. Great list.
Hey thanks a lot. I checked out your top 150 TV shows list - amazing amount of work you've done (and amount of tv you've seen)!
I probably should have included The Blessing Way and Anasazi as they are in the same story arc with Paper Clip, but I wasn't sure whether to include it in Season 2 or 3, so I just took my favorite episode of the three. I figure people will probably want to watch the first two to understand what happens in the third.
Currently working on ranking the best 25 eps and worst 10.
Thanks for your comments. Yeah, it is hard to separate out distinct episodes of an arc, so I think just including Paper Clip is fair enough really.
I look forward to your top 25/worst 10 list. (I haven't seen S6 onwards yet, but my top episodes would be Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose, Bad Blood and Ice; weakest maybe Hell Money.)
