TV Show Meme! Day 6!

I hope all fathers had a good Father's Day! My baby sister and I spent it in upstate New York with our dad and stepmom, watching Doctor Who, and I taught my dad how to bake bread! It was great.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled TV show meme. It's been pointed out that there's no Day 7 -- I hadn't even noticed! I'm going to try to find someone's copy with a Day 7 for tomorrow. We'll see how that goes...

Day 06 - Favorite episode of your favorite TV show

!! I have no clue. I know my favorite episodes of TV shows I really like, but my favorite episode of television of all time? I don't even know -- how am I supposed to pick? So, I'll do a few of my favorites.

Star Trek: The Next Generation: The episode in which a bunch of them are turned into little kids! Oh -- but I also love the episode in which they time travel and hang out with Jack London and Mark Twain. It was a double episode, I think, and super awesome.

The Office (US): I think my favorite episode of this show is from the second season -- "The Injury"! When Michael burns his foot on a Foreman Grill and comes into the office with his foot wrapped in bubble wrap. Meanwhile, Dwight -- on his way to rescue Michael -- crashed his car and hit his head and has a concussion, causing him to be super sweet all the time. My favorite part of this episode is when Michael is filling out Dwight's intake paperwork and he says, "Dwight, what's your middle name?" and Dwight replies, "Danger." Hahahahahahaha. Nice.

Leverage: My favorite episode of Leverage is pretty easily "The Bank Shot Job" -- although I do love 95% of them!

Alias: My favorite episode of Alias... well, I don't have favorite episodes, I don't think -- that would be sort of like having favorite episodes of a soap opera. But I do have favorite scenes. Like the scene where Sydney and Anna are both after the same thing, and Anna kisses the glass and leaves a lipstick imprint! And the scene in which Sydney is trying to get away from her surveillance, so she goes into a drugstore and totally changes her look.

due South: Listen, I love due South so much. I love it. So the idea of picking a favorite episode is a knife in my heart! Okay, not really, but it is really hard. Is it "Victoria's Secret" with Fraser's broken heart? "Burning Down the House"? Or perhaps fan-favorite "Mountie on the Bounty" -- the "buddy breathing" kiss!! Or, come on, "Call of the Wild" -- Ray and Fraser go off together on a dogsled into the sunset! But, actually, I think that ultimately my favorite episode is "Asylum" -- in which Ray is framed for murder. There is so much I love about that episode. Callum Keith Rennie's Ray is so convincing and amazing and full of nuance. The part where he slides into the Consulate! He dresses up like a Mountie! The discussion of curling! I never get tired of that show, particularly that episode.
