Best Episodes

Now that season 2 has concluded, I thought I'd post my list of favorite episodes. As you can see from the list, I like most of the shows. I'm treating them as all equally good, as I don't want to rank them. They are just listed in chronological order. I know a lot of people don't like Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down, but I think it's funny. In fact, it's the only funny episode in the series. (Well, there were also a lot of funny Gaius moments in Six Degrees...) And Edward James Olmos did a great job directing Tigh Me Up... It was like a great stage farce.

I'd also say that the most perfect episodes have to be, Act of Contrition/You Can't Go Home Again; Hand of God; Kobol's Last Gleaming Part 2; Valley of Darkness; the Pegasus-Resurrection Ship arc, Scar, and Lay Down Your Burdens part 2.

As always, it's just my opinion. Your mileage may vary.

At any rate, here's my full list of must-see episodes:
