: I've noticed that there are some episodes most
: people consider 'bad' or 'weak' that i
: actually find as some of my favorites.
: Some of the ones that stick out in my mind
: are 'Lottery'; 'Triangle'; 'Sideshow';
: 'Babalo'; 'Sanctuary'; 'Slaves'
: I find Sideshow entertaining because of the
: evil Benedict (I forget the actor's name
: but he also guest starred in 'Phenom'
: which is considered the single worst
: episode) and his holy speech, then David
: tries to reason with him through the Bible
: and gets whacked in the head. Also the
: funhouse transformation and the ending
: guitar music i thought was one of the best
: variations on the Lonely Man theme.
: I can see why Babalo gets ripped because of
: the unbelievability that a whole town
: could be spooked by voodoo. What i did
: like though was the 'semi-flirtation'
: between David and Dr. Renee followed by
: his getting cotton candy. Also I love the
: 'showdown' as David 'defies' the Babalo.
: My favorite line: "I am
: unharmed". And i love when he hulks
: out under a sheet, throws the bad guys
: around and destroys the whole sacrament.
: Triangle is to me the next in line after
: 'Married' in terms of romance episodes.
: Yeah the whole idea of a lumberbaron
: wanting to kill Banner is somewhat lame,
: but i liked the scenes with David and
: Gail. You only really saw this kind of
: 'discussions' with Caroline Fields.
: Perhaps the Return of the Hulk could be
: thrown in also. I also find the ending
: extremely sad and powerful. I mean we
: know it's always ends with the sad theme,
: but this one was downright depressing,
: haunting.
: Lottery can be summed up in one word:
: Generalismo!!! Viva la Marina!!! It has
: one of my favorite lines: "Remove
: this tree!" I think Mark has an
: audioclip on the site somewhere of McGee
: speaking to the General about the Hulk.
: The other part i liked is when David
: argues with Harry about wanting his share
: and Harry doesn't have it.
: Slaves i liked because of the storyline. I
: think Mark commented that the plot was a
: neet idea but had weak acting. I guessed
: i found the storyline strong enough to
: overshadow the weakness' I liked when the
: Hulk walks out of the saloon and shakes
: his head after getting blasted.
: WIth Sanctuary, i can see why this one is not
: liked. It does seem like a ho-hum episode
: especially putting Davids sister in here.
: But i liked when David blesses the people
: and claims that the church is the only
: thing Pratero does not control. I also
: like the car chase with the music. Also
: Father Costa resembles Bixby alot.
