Greatest TV episodes
Discussion
We all have our best TV series, but what about individual episodes. Here's mine;
- Ozark S3 E9 - Fire Pink - Probably the most powerful TV episode I've seen, the Ben storyline in that episode reduced me to a wreck, THAT moment of realisation of what Wendy had just done :-0
- Game of Thrones S4 E8 - The Mountain and the Viper - GoT at its wonderful best, I still remember THAT ending making me shout out "HOLY s
t"
- Fargo S1 E1 - The Crocodile's Dilemma - Fargo is great generally but this episode was superb, Billy Bob Thornton at his very best as a menacing maniac!
- Bojack Horseman - S1 E2 - Bojack Hates the Troops - I've just started watching Bojack, and though its not one of the highest rated episodes, I just loved how they mocked the media in how they misquote celebrities

You watch a lot of TV, never heard of any of that stuff.
Can I predict the next post will say the last ep of Blackadder Goes Forth, the PH glitteratti are nothing if not boneshatteringly predictable.
I'll say it now before they arrive.Can I predict the next post will say the last ep of Blackadder Goes Forth, the PH glitteratti are nothing if not boneshatteringly predictable.
I've always thought Blackadder was s
t, I've seen bits of every series and it's never appealed. They used to make us watch the final episode in School, it wants to be subversive, but it still tried to sell the Myth of plucky young Brits dutifully running into a shooting gallery for King and Country.
Anyway. Blackadder rant over.
The Simpsons when Homer eats the chilli and goes on a trip.
The Wire -30- final episode, it's really poignant because it not only signposts the lives the characters who survived the series will face in the future as the inevitable result of 'the game' or 'the system' depending on what side of the law they were on, but also the futility of it all. The final shots show that life goes on in Ghettos of Baltimore exactly as it did 5 series before. All efforts of the Police to try to, stop, or slightly disrupt the Drug Trade and the efforts of the 'Solders' to get to the top or just survive achieved nothing, the second they were gone others filled the void. I think it's rare for a final episode of any big series like that to not be disappointing or just 'weird' in some way.
Game of Thrones - The Rains of Castamere.(aka the Red Wedding) for anyone who hadn't read the books (and lord knows everyone who had made sure EVERYONE knew they had) it was possibly the most shocking episode of GoT.
Only Fools and Horses - when they finally become Millionaires, if only they stopped there.

I know it's very touching and meaningful and all that, but it's not as good as any of the Blackadder II episodes, for what I want out of Blackadder.The "Mrs Richards" episode of Fawlty Towers has a lot of great bits for one half-hour programme. "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky" being in one of Basil's best rants.
Tough question with a million different answers.
Mine not in any particular order.
1) Not going out. The escape room episode.
2) Dad's Army. The surly U Boat crew. 'Don't tell him Pike.'
3) Chernobyl. Oh bugger it's all gone pear shaped. Episode 1.
4) BlackAdder. With Rik Mayall and saucy Bobby Parkhurt.

Always loved scrubs... Two episodes stand out for different reasons.
Dr Cox having a breakdown... Heartbreaking due to the contrast in how funny it normally was....
The day on the beach episode... https://youtu.be/qsAJF3GlaCE
"it doesn't get any better going away gandhi".
