What was the BEST episode?

[Killdeer]

I don't have time at this moment to list all my favorites, but The Storm/The Eye and Echoes always come to mind first as really being the best of what I loved about SGA.

Lots!

This thread is making me want to do a SGA rewatch - if only I had some time!
But if nothing else, I need to see Rising again.

You know of course once you start with Rising, it will be "just one more ep" don't you CarmenC

I know! But I'm so darn busy these days, I'm lucky if I get 2 or 3 hours of TV viewing in a week (I watch stuff after the kidlets are in bed).

I'm thinking later in the spring for big re-watch. That would be fun.

I know that feeling, My wife has been on holidays for 5 weeks and we still didn't get through 2 seasons of TB

[Perelandra]

I'd like to do a re-watch, too but it IS hard to find the time.
With the DVDs at least you don't have the commercial time to figure in
so an episode is just 42 minutes or so. One episode a day?

[Linda06]

Just like I said in the worse eps thread. LIST TIME. Y'all know I love lists plus I'm bored and have nothing better to do

Season 1:
Rising
Suspicion
Before I sleep
Letters from Pegasus
The Gift

Season 2:
Runner
Trinity (but only the Ronon/Teyla scenes Other story was too boring)
Critical Mass
The long goodbye
Michael

Season 3:
Sateda
Phantoms
Echoes
Submersion
Vengeance

Season 4:
Spoils of war

Season 5:
Search and Rescue
The Daedalus Variations
Prodigal (but only the last few minutes)


hmm, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of exceptional eps in the last two seasons.

[Libero]

One best episode???

I think this would be "Rising" then.

[blazingfire]

BAMSR, The Last Man, Rising, Tao of Rodney, Duet, The Siege 1,2,3, First Strike/Adrift/Lifeline, The Return 1 and 2, This Mortal Coil, Before I Sleep, Michael, Prodigal...

Search and Rescue
The Deadalus Variations
First Contact/The Lost Tribe
Vegas

after Star Trek: Enterprise I am thinking of a Re-Watch myself.. did a rewatch in the year 2009 christmas... so there should be some scenes again, that I forgot...

[g.o.d]

Rising and Siege

[setacourse]

Trinity (but only the Ronon/Teyla scenes Other story was too boring)

For me it's the other way around. I *want* to like Ronon and Teyla more than I do, and I've warmed to them, but have never been hot on them like I wish I was. I remember warming to Ronon starting with the Carter season. Teyla had strong scenes in Suspicions, The Gift, and she really reached me with her singing in Critical Mass, which is one of my favorite overall - but I wish I had a greater emotional connection with her.

I love the Rodney show, with Zelenka and Weir co-starring. I know Carter was in it but she was just a manifestation of Rodney, so she was Rodney too.
I also love Rodney and his sister in McKay & Mrs. Miller, which really affected me, and to a lesser extent Miller's Crossing.
The focus on Beckett was welcome in Poisoning the Well, as was Grodin's last stand in Siege I.

These are (only) a few of my favorite things...

You probably didn't develop an emotional connection to Teyla cause they didn't give her a whole heck of a lot to do cause they were too busy writing for Rodney and Rodney and.......Oh yeah Rodney

See, I hate the McKay hour. And the Rodney centric eps were sheer torture for those of us that couldn't stand him, which was probably....Oh about 90% of the eps

Season 5 got unbelievably unbearable.
