First Post, Introduction and Question

Hi all,

I just joined and I have a question, so I figured I'd introduce myself while I'm here:

Name: goddessdster, or Diana
Age: 41
Location: New Orleans
Favorite TV Show:  Of all time?  Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Other Shows Watched:  Bones, L&O: Criminal Intent, BSG, all Trek, I'm basically a crime junky and sci-fi geek...
Favorite Quote:  "Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality." Les Brown
Favorite Color:  Red or purple, depending on my mood.
If I was a criminal, I'd be... I'd probably allow my anger at injustice in the world override my common sense and turn me into a vigilante spree killer.


The Question
:
So I'm a fan of "Best of" lists (Buffy fans can make them in their sleep!), and I was wondering what everyone's favorite episodes are?  They can be character or team-specific, best crimes, best unsubs, best anything.  Lists are fun.  Share yours with me!

Thanks!

First? Giles for the win. Kudos to Buffy love. ASH needs to be an unsub on Criminal Minds.

As for the list I've been meaning to sit down and compile a list but off the top of my head from episodes not mentioned above

No Way Out parts 1 and 2. Keith Carridine as Frank (and in my opinion a forerunner of Foyet) is equal parts appealing and almost demonic. Also, I think especially part two let's the Patinkin shine and shows off both Gideon's brilliance and his inner demons.

Reckoner: a very good Rossi episode. Seamlessly and a lovely hint into what could have been Rossi's not so clean path.

Unfinished Business: ...realizing there's a Gideon and Rossi centric vibe in my list thus far, I should include the other "old dog" episode. I really loved Max Ryan and wished they would have brought him back.

Conflicted: Jason Alexander (from Masterpiece) directs and Jackson Rathbone kicks ass/takes name.

The Wheel: This episode, not 100, is the only one to make me cry.

I'm sure there's at least a dozen more I can think of but that's a good start? Anyways Wilkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome!
