There are so many reasons to obsess over this episode. It's pure Beka/Trance bonding with Beka character building. And, you know, Harper being Harper. Plus, it's got Sid (aka Q) and the first part of Beka's Flash addiction.

I love this one, but there isn't any real reason. It's cute and when I applied, I was still obsessing over Harper/Tyr so that didn't hurt. And I love the Beka & Harper interaction regarding his dancing.

This was the first episode in season 5 that I liked. Rommie wasn't back yet, but my B/T 'shipper heart was in love and possibly lust. I'm not a huge fan of Houne, but it had lots of Harper so I could get past it.

I really loved this episode, which is odd because usually, I can't stand Darla. Maybe it's because of all the 'shippy Darla/Fred bits that pop into my warped mind, but it's still fun. It's also got quite a few really good lines.

There are a few reasons to love this episode. First and foremost, Gwen! She's just so wicked. I'm not a huge fan of season four, but Connor+Gwen+Snarky!Fred=Love. But not in a relationship way. Although, there's a thought...
This Feeling
Subject: 1.02 - Water
Fandom: Battlestar Galactica
Approved: August 2007
Approved by: thefanlistings.org
This was the second episode in the remake of the 1978 show, Battlestar Galactica. One of the reasons it's so good is because they're still developing the characters and there's so much for the writes to explore, both character-wise as well as where the story's going. I think this is one of the best when it comes to how deep Sharon's 'sleeper agent' programming goes. And on a totally shallow note, Helo and Sharon are cute together.
I Missed You

It was the first episode of the remake I ever saw. Granted, that made it really confusing ("Who are these people? Why if Apollo calling the hot blond chick 'Starbuck'?") but once I'd seen a few other episodes, it gave me a good idea of who they were. Even though I really don't like Apollo/Starbuck, it was a good center to show where everyone was to this point.

Marcia was psychotic, yes, but still cool. I think everyone's wanted to do that to the popular girls at one point or another. *blinks* What do you mean, it's just me?

I love Dawn, and almost any Dawn related episode. But add in the bits about Willow's addiction, Willow/Tara interaction and the way Tara plays with Spike's head and this is a kickass episode.
Bit of a Mess

Fandom: Buffy, the Vampire Slayer
Approved: April 2007
Approved by: thefanlistings.org
Season seven is far from being the best season of Buffy, but it does have it's moments, and the mini-Slayers are one of them. Bring on the Night introduces not only Molly and Kennedy, but explains for the first time how most Potential Slayers spend their lives while waiting to be chosen.

There's just so much in this episode to love. Mostly, it's all the Catharine/Sara interaction, but that's just me.
Make Me Feel Crazy
Subject: 5.21 - Committed
Fandom: CSI
Approved: March 2007
Approved by: thefanlistings.org
Committed has all the creepy bits that the younger generation seem to love and makes the Law&Order fans cringe. It manages to include Mother/Son incest, gay sex, and miscellaneous dangerous psychopaths for scenery all wrapped up in a crazy package. But it also has some more background into Sara’s childhood regarding her mother and some half decent Grissom/Sara interaction where he treats her like a human being instead of a ticking time bomb.

Alien was the first Law&Order episode I ever saw, in any of the series. It was really interesting, and I don't just mean because of the controversial lesbian parent thing, although it didn't hurt.

I loved all the Dax/Kira bonding. I'm sorry, It's shipper guilt. But come on! There are so many other reasons to love this episode. Look at all the great lines; "No, we used to eat them."

Okay, yes, I fell for this one while I was going my Sam/Jack phase. Thankfully, I got better. But it's still a cute episode. First one with Janet, bits of Daniel/Jack and lots of fanfiction about this episode, too.

It only took two years from when I started watching the show to actually catch the episode. And I wasn't disappointed in the least.
