30 Days of Meme -- Day 06
May. 28th, 2010 11:35 amDay 06. Favorite episode of your favorite TV show
Okay, so I'm cheating on this and pickingthree four TV shows.
Blakes 7 My favourite episode is "Blake" the final episode of the series. While there are many other great episodes ("Orac", "Star One", "Rumours of Death" and "Terminal" among my favourites), "Blake" was one hell of a way for a show to go out...and it has made the series memorable for many people. It ends with an infamous shoot out between our heroes, the Federation, with the appearance of the long missing Blake triggering it all. Blake is killed by Avon (our lead hero -- a term used VERY loosely), gunfire erupts and by the end four of main characters are killed...ending with Avon surrounded by Federation troops. He raised his gun, smiled....credits roll to the sound of blasters going off. BRILLIANT!
Robin of Sherwood...because I've neglected this show in previous mentions, and it is one of my favourites. The best episode is "The Greatest Enemy" where the Sheriff finally catches up with Robin...he's surrounded and down to his last arrow. After shooting it deliberately high, the Sheriff's soldiers shoot him down. But that, as memorable as it was, is not the reason it's my favourite. It's the first, and only one of two, where my favourite character...Nasir...gets any real character development, and after seeing him take down at least seventeen soldiers before being captured, we learn that he was once a member of the radical Islamic sect, the Nizari Ismaili...more commonly known as the Assassins.
The Professionals...yes, another show I wanted to mention. My favourite ep is "Discovered in a Graveyard" where Doyle is shot in his flat and very nearly dies. Meanwhile Bodie is hunting down whoever did this to him. If you haven't noticed, my favourite episodes nearly always involve one or more of the main characters being killed or nearly killedHowever, Torchwood SO over did this!
But my very favouritist episodes is a two-parter...from Highlander. I wonder if anyone can guess! *g*
Of course, it's "Comes A Horseman"/"Revelation 6:8"...we learn Methos' past, and it's very, very cool. We are introduced to the best and baddest K'Immie of them all, Kronos. And two very lovely and endearing K'Immies, Caspian and Silas, to round of the Four Horsemen. Really, easily the two finest episodes of the entire series. Methos, playing as only he knows how...to go with the winner. Kronos and his virus and monkeys...and just wonderful menace. The best sword fight, EVER! The only dubious bit is the SFX for the double Quickening, especially the spirally bit...a bit wtf? but excellent.
