I'm the same with a lot going forward, and I doubt we're alone! Surprisingly I do remember the mytharc pretty well through season 5 (it helps I love Veronica Cartwright for that season 5 two-parter) but that pretty much ends with, well, The End. Season 4: Zero Sum Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man Herrenvolk (this one though I don't remember at all except that healer guy is in it. Is it the one where the bees turn up?) Demons Season 5: The Pine Bluff Variant Redux The Usual Suspects

Taryn, Synchrony is the one with the time travelling scientist! Surprising no one, The Field Where I Died "won" with 7 votes, followed by Teliko and El Mundo Gira with 6 each. Zero Sum, Sanguinarium and Unrequited each got 4 votes but the latter lost that battle (PHA-YEW, I fucking love Sanguinarium). Also the loser was Travelers (6 votes), Post-Modern Prometheus and Schizogeny (4 each). Runner up was Chinga with 3 votes.

For me it's just a case of it didn't leave a lasting impression (which might be an UO, seems like most people either love or hate it). I haven't watched it in forever so I really don't remember all of it, but I know I've seen it a few times and it just never stayed with me. It was always a bit of a shrug, I guess. Compare it to, say, Schizogeny which isn't what I'd call a good episode but it's one that never bored me. It's very possibly it would hit a different note were I to watch it today.

My pleasure. I'm having a lot of fun with it!Season 4: The Field Where I Died (16 years since I saw it live and I've never looked back) El Mundo Gira Zero Sum (always fall asleep when I try to give it a chance) Unrequited (For the life of me I just can't remember this one) Season 5: Travelers The Pine Bluff Variant (kinda know what it's about but I never feel like rewatching it) The Post-Modern Prometheus

Results are in! Between the top two Die Hand Die Verletzt had more negative past votes than One Breath, thus I declare thee winner! Congratulations, One Breath! Also narrowly Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space' beat Pusher. Woo (or nooo for you, Pusher voters)! And we have full season rankings! Season 2 25. 3 24. Fearful Symmetry 23. Blood 22. Fresh Bones 21.

Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space' What'd ya think about this? Humbug is a surprise, for sure. I'm very happy Die Hand came so close to winning, I wasn't expecting that. A bit sad for The Calusari, mostly for nostalgic reasons. Unsurprisingly the Anasazi - Paper Clip arc is our favourite mytharc mini-arc. Personally I'm a bit sad for 2Shy, Oubliette and Revelations not ranking higher. New season are go! Season 4: Herrenvolk Home Teliko Unruhe The Field Where I Died Sanguinarium Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man Tunguska Terma Paper Hearts El Mundo Gira Leonard Betts Never Again Memento Mori Kaddish Unrequited Tempus Fugit Max Synchrony Small Potatoes Zero Sum Elegy Demons Gethsemane Season 5: Redux Redux II Unusual Suspects Detour The Post-Modern Prometheus Christmas Carol Emily Kitsenugari Schizogeny Chinga Kill Switch Bad Blood Patient X The Red and the Black Travelers Mind's Eye All Souls The Pine Bluff Variant Folie a Deux The End We shan't dillydally and since the episodes for these season are so uneven we will start with voting for four season 4 episodes and three season 5 episodes to go. Vote in the order you want them gone.

I'm sorry, you almost willed it there, but my vote between the two goes to Jose Chung's(!). But, oh, does it, though...? Yeah. No? Yes. It does. Season summary and new rounds will be up soon. If nothing more is voted I'll go by what's indicated in past rounds, and it does look like we have two winners.

Okay, so all us usual suspects have voted and both seasons are even! Eep! And we must crown a winner. For season two it's between One Breath and Die Hand Die Verletzt with 3 votes each. For season 3 it's between Pusher and Jose Chung's with 4 votes each. My suggestion is that those that didn't vote for either one of these vote again for one of them. That's mauve, AntiBeeSpray and smrou for season 2 and just lil ol' me for season 3. Does that seem fair or does anyone have a better suggestion? If someone who hasn't voted at all swoops in then that vote will be the decisive one.

I'm surprised! You've been trying to vote this out since the first round. You haven't voted for least favourite again by mistake? :-)

LOL, nailed it! They are all so different and superb in their own right. However, I must go with Die Hand Die Verletzt. Such creepy fun. It's grown so strong with me over the years and it's the one I watch the most and it just makes me giddy. Donnie Phaster and Irresistible is a close second, but man, Mrs. Paddock is just so terrificly fun in her own devilish way. Season 3: Really close this one as well, but Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose wins my vote. If DHDV is creepy fun then this is fun!creepy, if that makes sense? I guess I gravitate toward that mix the most. JCFOS is a close second. With this Pusher is third by default, but really, Syzygy, Wetwired and Pusher are all so good they would share third place.

I'll start with the simplest. Casualties for season 3 are Syzygy and Wetwired with 6 votes each. Way behind is Jose Chung's with 2 votes. With season 2 we agree far less. The Host goes with 6 votes, but Irresistible, Die Hand Die Verletzt and One Breath all share 3 votes. With the weighting system Irresistible and Die Hand each get 5 points and One Breath wins with 4 points. The only episode left almost wholly unscathed is Anasazi with only 1 vote. Seems like a slam dunk. But! Since it's so close with the others I'm gonna let all four of them battle it out in the final round. Season 2: One Breath Irresistible Die Hand Die Verletzt Anasazi Season 3: Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose Pusher Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space' Vote for your favourite!

On a different ranking note, my favourite one-off characters from the show: 10. Sunday. Wish she lasted longer, but maybe it's for the best so she didn't get tiring. Best season opener baddie, for me! 9. April. She may be a robot but I still felt so sad for her I get a little choked up everytime I watch I Was Made To Love You. 8. Nancy Doyle. Her side-eyeing, sneers and Buffy's rivalry with her is hilarious, however brief. 7. Sheila Rosenburg. I know, she's totes awful, but I love Gingerbread and MOO and I just enjoy watching her awfulness. 6. Ted. Just so great. Totally see what both Joyce and Buffy sees. 5. Gage. From bully to Buffy's puppy, I just enjoy them together during Go Fish. Plus Wentworth Miller, drool. 4. Cherry Pie Lady. I know, I know, it might be an irrational love but it's love nonetheless. Perfectly silly for the Twin Peak-ness of Doublemeat Palace. 3. Zachary Kralik. Sooo effectively creepy. I can just feel the terror when Buffy's alone with him in that house. A lesser villain would've really weakened the episode. 2. Cassie. Just breaks your heart, doesn't she? 1. Gwendolyn Post. Played to underhanded bitchy perfection by Serena Scott Thomas. Can you imagine if Glory would've been like this? How awesome would that have been! I really do love the bitchy one's, don't I? Honorable mention: Richard, Buffy's date from Older and Far Away. Purely for physical reasons, obviously. Had Kathy not appeared in two eps she would've placed second, easily. That's probably an UO!

This is my favourite season. I love 1 through 5, like season 6 for a lot of reasons and dislike season 7 for a lot of reason, but season 4 is the one I go back to the most. I like season 4 Riley and I have nothing against the universally disliked Beer Bad (even if it ranks low in season 4 episodes for me as well). Where The Wild Things Are is a hoot.

It was really close before the last vote came in. If not for that WotC would have persevered and Syzygy would've been out, despite the equal four votes between them and Quagmire.

I'm glad I've got my favourite from each season pretty much set in stone. However, if they don't survive this round, I'll pull my hair out.

Agree so, so much. Season 3 is almost making me feel ill now. Season 2: The Host Anasazi Season 3: Syzygy (ugh) Pusher (ugh)

Straightforward elimination for season 2 with Duane Barry (5 votes) and Ascension (4 votes). Clinging on behind was Die Hand Die Verletzt with 3 votes. With season 3, War of the Coprophages was first out with 5 votes. 4 votes went to Quagmire, which was top choice for all (= out) and Syzygy which got two first and two second choice votes thus scraping by. Wetwired was runner up with 3 votes. Season 2: The Host One Breath Irresistible Die Hand Die Verletzt Anasazi Season 3: Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose Syzygy Pusher Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space' Wetwired Two votes each for the penultimate round in the order you most want them gone!

Same. I keep changing my mind. I know I will two minutes after I post this. With season 2 I'm mostly scared that my favourite won't reach top 5 and a potential all-stars round!Season 2: Ascension Diane Barry (Lol, autocorrect there...) Season 3: Quagmire War of the Coprophages

That sorted itself out after all. End Game (5 votes) and Our Town (4 votes) are out with Ascension (3 votes) just behind. As are 731 (6 votes) and Paper Clip (3 votes) with Quagmire and Wetwired hanging on with 2 votes each. Season 2: The Host Duane Barry Ascension One Breath Irresistible Die Hand Die Verletzt Anasazi Season 3: Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose War of the Coprophages Syzygy Pusher Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space' Quagmire Wetwired Again, two votes each in the order you most want them eliminated. Interestingly(?), four mytharc still standing in season 2 but none in season 3.

Another deadlock! Not even the weighting system could stop Ascension and Our Town from standing on equal footing. And everyone voted for either one or the other except for AntiBeeSpray so you, AntiBee, or someone else who hasn't voted need to cast the deciding vote, I think. You have a couple of hours or it's a free-for-all. Or they'll both go. Or none of them.

I can do that! I find it interesting as well. The votes for both season 2 and 3 have been much more all over the place than they were in season 1 where more people agreed on their lesser favorites. Hence the low votes and yet such a popular episode was out early. As I asked you to vote in the order you wanted the episodes eliminated a few rounds a go (I probably should've reminded you about that each new round, oops), with Little Green Men and End Game, because you're right they got two votes each, LGM was out because it was top choice for both voters whilst End Game was second for both (I made a point system in my head - first vote 2p, second 1p, so LGM 4p and EG 2p). Season 2: Ascension End Game Season 3: 731 Paper Clip

Time to clear some mytharc. Colony and Little Green Men and The Blessing Way, Piper Maru and Apocrypha are the latest casualties. Season 2: The Host Duane Barry Ascension One Breath Irresistible Die Hand Die Verletzt End Game Our Town Anasazi Season 3: Paper Clip Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose 731 War of the Coprophages Syzygy Pusher Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space' Quagmire Wetwired Two each this time! Vote in the order you want them gone.

Humbug would probably be me third favorite of the season. You monsters! Wow, so many mytharc left. Gotta fix that. Season 2: Little Green Men Colony Season 3: 731 The Blessing Way Apocrypha

I like how much opinions differ. Very small gap between the losers and the ones hanging on. Død Kalm and Humbug (gasp!) and Nisei, Revelations and Talitha Cumi are banished to episode purgatory. Season 2: Little Green Men The Host Duane Barry Ascension One Breath Irresistible Die Hand Die Verletzt Colony End Game Our Town Anasazi Season 3: The Blessing Way Paper Clip Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose 731 War of the Coprophages Syzygy Piper Maru Apocrypha Pusher Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space' Quagmire Wetwired Again, vote for two season 2 episodes and three season 3 episodes.

Finally Frances Conroy is in there someone. But... what kind of "freak" is she supposed to be?! I guessing it's not '50s housewife like it looks like.

It's from Extras :D I wish there was a way to watch the Pilot together with plenty of drinks. Everyone drunk! But with time zones I guess it's not meant to be. It's a nice thought, though.
