orangerfulIn the order that they aired, my favorite BSG episodes (no spoilers):
Flesh & Bone (1.08) - Starbuck and Leoben, together for the first time.
The Hand of God (1.11) -I have a thing for Starbuck in her dress blues. The tension in the final moments of this episode is hard to deny, even upon multiple viewings I find myself on the edge of my seat.
Kobol's Last Gleaming (1.12 & 1.13) - so many story threads in one show, yet it all works out. All the pieces falling into place.
The Final Cut (2.08) -APOLLO TOWEL SCENE Framed by Deanna's expose on the crew of Battlestar, it's just a different episode that gave us a chance to get to know some of the side characters, like Hot Dog.
The Captain's Hand (2.18) - Another tense episode with tons of plot lines flying left and right. Plus, the end of the painful Pegasus arc.
Lay Your Burdens Down (2.19 & 2.20) - Best. Season Finale. Ever. Seriously, it's hard to beat that ending...though they somehow manage to top it in s3.
Unfinished Business (3.09 - Director's Cut) - I really prefer the director's cut now. Like the LotR cuts, the extra scenes change the story and the characters just enough...Dee's conversation with Lee on the Raptor ride back to BSG, for example.
Crossroads (3.20) - enough ZOMG!s to go around.
Blood on the Scales (4.16) - After creating a jenga tower of stories and situations in the previous few episodes, the writers just YANK a piece out and watch the tower topple down.
Someone to Watch Over Me (4.19) - Starbuck-centric episode, but with a surprise twist in another plot line that left me yelling at the screen when the credits popped up because it's just not fair that I have to wait another week to find out what happens next!!!!
So - what are your favorites???
