Looking at some of the recent lists I've realized that I somehow managed to leave "Faith" off my list. How I made that egregious error, I don't even know. I may be redoing my list in the near future. ;-)
I love this idea -- I think it would be fantastic.I wonder how many would agree they all belong on the top 30 out of 200 eps. So I guess once we finish the seasons the game could be the top 30 from the list of winners, Just wondering how we as a group would decide the fate. I know I'm evil aren't I? Also see how I'm avoiding creating my own list of the top 30. :)

Well, I'll bite. Mine tend to be based more on interactions, reactions, and they way the guys play off each other -- I guess that's what sticks with me.
In chronological order (for the sake of my internal fandom):
1. Phantom Traveler
2. In My Time of Dying
3. Everybody Loves a Clown
4. Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things
5. Mystery Spot
6. Jus in Bello
7. No Rest For the Wicked
8. Lazarus Rising
9. Are You There, God? It's Me, Dean Winchester
10. Wishful Thinking
11. The End
12. Sam, Interrupted
13. Point of No Return
14. Frontierland
15. Hello Cruel World
There are a few more that should probably have some place on my list (Playthings, My Bloody Valentine, Two and a Half Men) because as weird and/or disturbing as I thought they were, I used to watch them repeatedly. But i guess this is official unofficial list for me -- at least until I figure where Fan Fiction is gonna squeeze in.

It feels so weird to have an episode of Supernatural saved on my DVR again after two and a half years. (I admit to dropping the show before the end of season 7, but "Hello Cruel World" and "Plucky Pennywhistle" are still definite highlights in my memory.) I thought for sure I'd just catch the (what I thought would be) few good parts of the 200th ep on Hulu later, but at the last minute I decided to go ahead and hit the "record" button. So glad I did.
I loved pretty much everything everybody else has already mentioned. It was all the little touches that got to me -- and I keep having to stop myself from trying to list all of them right now. Jensen looking directly at the camera might be my favorite. But one moment that made me snicker was when Sam and Maeve where in the tech booth and he was trying to ask if she'd heard any strange noises during the rehearsals, and she starts demonstrating potential noises with the sound board. Her expression throughout was just hilariously bored and unconcerned -- it's the set of "Supernatural", they hear those noises all the time. (And of course as soon as she leaves Sam with "Please don't touch anything," he immediately starts playing with the control panel.) The girls in this episode were awesome. I just had to download that sweet, gentle version of "Carry On Wayward Son."

I'll not eulogize "All Dogs Go to Heaven" -- considering the episode's namesake scarred me for life as a child (I hate that movie with the fire of a thousand suns), there was nothing enjoyable for me to latch on to with that story.
Except Dean's sniper-shooting. Bringing out the big guns. Mmm. (Okay, so maybe one thing.)

Hmm... the last sesason in which I watched every single episode. There are very few episodes I really loved in this season, though several more had moments I quite enjoyed, even if the episode as a whole was a disappointment. My votes are probably going to be all over the map.

I wish I knew how to quit you, show. But I'm afraid if I stop until things are good again, I'll be so far behind that I'll never be able to catch up. I did a similar thing with Supernatural and now I'm like 9.5 seasons behind. Never getting current with that one, that's for sure :(
That is exactly how I feel. (It's only like 2.5 seasons of SPN for me, but that means there are years of my life I'll never get back.) I don't want to be stuck in the same boat with Arrow, hanging on after all my friends have logically checked out, begging at the tv in vain for the show to return to some semblance of its former glory so that I can justify the fact that I still care. Sigh.
My fear is that I don't have enough room on my DVR to let this entire season sit until I'm assured that the show turns out well enough to watch again. That may be the true reason I keep hoping and (foolish) hope that we get the pleasantest of surprises and Oliver/Felicity/Diggle's contrived isolations come to an abrupt and permanent end sometime in January.

I'd be all for declaring a tie as well, but until somebody makes that official I guess I'll keep voting.

I just don't see what the big deal is with Felicity kissing her fourth guy.
For me, the problem is that the fourth guy is supposed to be a viable alternative to the first guy, and I don't see him as one, at all. So I don't really want to see her kissing him because I don't think he should even count as an option.
-
Well, I was along for the ride, however short it was. Hopefully we'll get to see the episodes burn off with some decency for the storyline.
And at least I have the few episodes on my DVR to rewatch when I need cheering up. I held on to episodes of Common Law for a year after it got canceled; no way am I letting go of "Nugget of Wisdom" anytime soon.

From what I can tell, they did it so there would be clear differentiation between this show and The Flash. Which, if that was indeed the case, then I can at least congratulate them on their definite success, because the people I know who have seen both show can absolutely tell the difference -- and they're no longer watching Arrow.

R.I.P. Jack Reinhold. Ugh with this stupid, reactionary town. "Emotions are running high" is not an excuse to drive someone to suicide.
The scariest moment of this entire series for me was when it looked for a second like Carver and Gemma were gonna hookup. Just... no.

Even though the opening sequence of DSotM will always be my favorite (gunshot sound into bloodspatter titlecard FTW!), I just can't bring myself to vote for Dean symbolically giving up the amulet as the top episode over Dean getting a taste of the future and deciding it's worth fighting

I did not know the episodes were aired out of order, but now I'm definitely going to have to go back and watch them in the right sequence. I spent most of the time cringing through the increased romantic tone because I haven't really gotten that type of chemistry vibe from them yet (and because I have second-hand embarrassment issues, which is why I typically don't bother with rom-coms in the first place -- but oh, this show), but when Henry pulled Eliza to him... Yowza. I can definitely see it now. ;-) So now I can rewatch with my eyes all the way open.

Now that you've said it, it makes perfect sense and that analogy is definitely going to stick with me.I actually like Brandon in this role. He has the screen presence of a sidekick with movie star good looks if that makes sense.
Speaking of imagery I can't unsee... yeah, thanks for that. (Did bust out laughing though. And, ITA.)Has to be brainwashing. Has to be. I'm not hating Roy unless he starts making out with Laurel.

So, this morning this happened (from The Guardian, and other sources). Adorable since no one's thought of that idea in a while.

A different question is how did Missy/The Master get back? The Master went back to Gallifrey with Rassilon and the other Time Lords in "The End of Time".
This had better be THE reason that Missy is The Master -- rather than the Rani or anyone else -- so they can finally address this dropped "Gallifrey returns" storyline from last Christmas.

S10.E05: Fan Fiction
in Supernatural
I was happy to see the amulet again for one reason: I love the jewelry. In fact, I forgot to mention it earlier, but one of my favorite parts was at the beginning when Marie is fussing at "Dean" for not having the amulet on, and the girl playing Dean complains that she took it off because "it kept hitting me in the face." I remember when Dean's jewelry first started disappearing, and when Jensen was asked about it, his response was basically that the jewelry (amulet, ring, etc.) was getting so beat up from use on set that it was just difficult to keep up with, so he stopped wearing them. Of course, since the amulet was such a focus, it couldn't just disappear. Thus, it was written out in the grand tradition of deaths on SPN: by giving it a plot twist that makes it unnecessarily complicated to bring back. (I kid, sort of.)
I could be wrong, but I don't think the amulet was supposed to be tied to Chuck for the purposes of this episode. Just a coincidental hazard of trying to pay tribute to several different things in one neatly-wrapped package.
