30 Days of TV Shows: Day 6

Day 06 - Favorite episode of your favorite TV show:


"Hush" – Buffy the Vampire Slayer:





No episode has freaked me out so badly. I had nightmares after. The quietness throughout almost the whole episode was sooo eerie. The Gentlemen were way way creepy! Their silence only made them even more creepifying. It was, also, pretty ground breaking...only about 17 minutes of dialogue is presented in the entire 44 minutes of "Hush". I don't think anyone but Joss Whedon would be crazy enough to try something like that, especially when dialogue is a major story mover & what is normal is for TV shows, especailly one that was an "hour" long.











"In the Beginning" - Supernatural:

It was heartwarming, funny, and completely heartbreaking.  It gave a lot of background & mythology on the series.  Jensen Ackles knocked it out of the park during this episode.  Of course, he knocks it out of the park in every episode but he was extra shiny on this one.

Summary:

"Castiel sends Dean back in time to 1973 where he encounters younger versions of his parents and for the first time meets his grandfather Samuel Campbell who holds a secret that sheds a light on the Winchester Family's connection to the hunter community."

"After Hours" – Third Watch (not my favorite show but this episode has always stuck with me):


I’m not even sure if I can explain the episode. Third Watch was a reality based show and this episode had a spiritual theme to it. It was really powerful. For a while after watching it I’d get goose bumps every time I thought of it or talked to someone about it.


Summary :
“The deaths of four teenagers in a fiery car crash profoundly affects the third watch, who were forced to stand by helplessly, unable to save the victims. They congregate at the end of the shift to dispel their sadness and anger at the horrific images of the crash. Faith, Sully and Doc spend time sitting quietly in a cafe; Ty, Bobby, Carlos and Alex go to a bar; and Kim, Bosco and Jimmy go bowling. As evening turns into day, Faith's group meets up with a young woman, Ty's group meets up with a young man, and Kim's group meets up with a young couple in love. At dawn, everyone ends up at the a beach and they build a bonfire. As the flames flicker, we see a flashback to the moments immediately preceding the car crash and discover that the young people whom they met during the course of the evening are the spirits of the teenagers who died in the crash, who were sent back down to earth to tell them that the crash could not have been prevented, and they are not to blame for being unable to save them.”
