This one's more for the Whedonites:
Okay, we have a Best of Buffy list going here, but what would you say are Mutant Enemy's finest televised hours so far?
You have 144 Buffy episodes, 96 Angel eps (so far), and 15 productions of Firefly to choose from.
That's 255 hours of finely crafted TV from which to choose your, I don't know... how about a Top Ten list?
Get crackin'!

PS: back soon with my list... but what is yours?

I gotta go with episode #42 from the third season of Firefly. Awesome stuff. Especially that bit with River saving Jayne from the Reavers.

I love #43 (part two of that three-episode arc of 42, 43 and 44), where everything is shot from outside Serenity so everything is silent and we can't hear the conversations inside the ship. Wacky fun!

Yeah, but you gotta admit that you liked the episode #20 where Jubal Early joins the crew, and River helps him remember he's an altered genius like her.
BTA,

Yes that was a good one but nothing beats episode 37, the second season finale.
You gotta love the way all the Mal stuff was handled it really gives you such an idea of exactly who the guy is, even though what he did at the end was awful you just completely understand why he had to do it.

Sorry about derailing your thread, I haven't seen enough Buffy and Angel to give a really well informed opinion, so I'll shorten my list to five.
5. Angel - "I Will Remember You"
4. FF - "Ariel"
3. FF - "Serenity"
2. FF - "Objects in Space"
1. FF - "Out of Gas"

My two pennies worth:
Definitely Hush and Zeppo from Buffy. I can't think of any majorly stand-out episodes of Angel, but then I don't know it as well.
From Firefly:
Serenity 1&2
The one where the man is left alive by the reavers (I can never remember the title!)
Out of Gas
War Stories
Objects in Space
I can't put them in an actual order - that changes so much depending on my mood!
