WILDCARD EPISODE REACTION VOTE (75 member goal)
Added 2024-11-09 16:00:24 +0000 UTCWe hit our stream goal of 75 Patreon members, so you get to decide ONE EPISODE of ANY NON-TREK SERIES for us to react to! Here’s how it’ll work:
Drop your episode choice in the comments. It can be any one episode (no two-parters or 2-hour episodes) from any non-Trek TV series regardless if we have watched any of it on the channel before or not
COMMENTS THAT ARE NOT EPISODE ENTRIES WILL BE DELETED. If you have questions use the community chat or send us a message rather than commenting here.
The TOP LIKED COMMENT will be the winner
Make sure to read through the comments first! Repeat suggestions will split the likes between comments, so give a like to the one you want rather than adding a duplicate. Duplicates will be deleted
The official count will end Sunday at 10pm Eastern and the winner will be announced
Comments
I see Midnight as engaging as any first episode. I disagree with but understand your reasoning.

2024-11-10 03:33:23 +0000 UTCThe Expanse - S02 E02 - Doors and Corners Ship battle scene, political tension, hints at what's happened and what's to come but doesn't spoil the show's paradigm shift, Miller's cold-ass final scene.

2024-11-10 02:32:52 +0000 UTCThanks Blane I was going from memory and hadn’t checked the final vote. I love Midnight also, but IMHO it does suffer from some of the clumsiness that permeates season 1. I do think Gethsamane shows the show more in its stride, without spoiling anything major despite being in season 3 (because B5 is so tight, that’s a hard find!).
Paul Hess
2024-11-10 01:36:02 +0000 UTCI don't think so. They haven't said yet if they have.

Bradley Shafer
2024-11-09 22:28:50 +0000 UTCColumbo's episode numbering can be different depending on where you look. iMDB classes some episodes as separate TV movies, rather than episodes of a series.

2024-11-09 22:18:28 +0000 UTCIt was a close 3rd in the last poll. My suggestion of Babylon 5 -s1e1 "Midnight on the Firing Line" took 2nd place by 2 votes. I've added it here as well because I think that's a better intro to the series. These gentlemen watched "The Gathering" and decided it wasn't for them. They might have had the same experience with Trek if they had watched "The Cage" first. I'm trying to rectify that problem.

2024-11-09 21:54:52 +0000 UTCHBO's "Rome", S1E1, introduces all the characters, but the following episodes are much more interesting.

2024-11-09 18:17:44 +0000 UTCEP S1.11 The Trickster with guest stars Mark Hamill (Star Wars), Joyce Hyser (Just One Of The Guys) & Gloria Reuben (ER, Timecop) of The Flash (1990), starring John Wesley Shipp (The Flash 2014... as the same character) as Barry Allen/the Flash, Amanda Pays (Max Headroom) & Alex Désert (Simpsons, Becker). Hamill is an insane magician who wreaks havoc throughout Central City as the maniacally clever Trickster. One of my favorite, mostly unseen series. Mark Hamill reprised the role of James Jesse/The Trickster 24 years later in the 2014 Flash episode "Tricksters".

HG
2024-11-09 18:00:19 +0000 UTCFringe Season 1 Episode 4 The Arrival. It's early enough to make sense after the pilot and not spoil much of anything out of context, effectively shows off the three main characters with emphasis on the relationship between Peter and Walter, and acts as an introduction to some of the more fascinating parts of the mythology.

2024-11-09 17:36:04 +0000 UTCHere is a non-scifi show. M*A*S*H season 11 episode 16 Goodbye, Farewell and Amen. It's the last episode of the entire show but it's IMO the best one and you really don't have to watch any of the show to love it. :) It's longer than a regular episode because it's the last one but it's totally worth it. I hope folks agree. :)

Paul Hess
2024-11-09 16:36:39 +0000 UTCBabylon 5 Passing Thru Gethsemane. It can be watched as a somewhat standalone episode (as much as any B5 episode can be considered standalone) and it does a great job of showing B5's balanced and powerfully dramatic portrayal of societal issues, religion, etc. This was a close second last poll. Please “like” and let’s get it over the top this time!

I love this episode, for standing on its own merits and leaving you wanting more. It's not my personal favorite but those ones are better for those more entrenched in the series.
