Stole the idea from the Characters thread of the similar name. What episodes has your opinion on changed on rewatching/in retrospect.

When I first watched the Pylea episodes, I found them average. I rewatched them this week and now they're my favourite AtS episodes. Similar thing with Restless, I only really got it the second time around.

Enemies was one of my favourite episodes when I first watched it, mainly because of that brilliant twist. Rewatching it, already knowing the twist, makes it a lot less impressive. Still like it though.
 
I wasn't a great fan of the earlier episodes until I went back and re-watched them a few times. I appreciate them a lot more now. Apocalypse Nowish made me VERY uncomfortable, obviously. The first time I watched, I didn't like it. I kept with it though, because I had the feeling that I wasn't supposed to like it, and that it was all going somewhere. Because I approached much of Season 4 like that, I ended up loving it when it actually was all intentional deviation from established character. (Cordonnor is still ick incarnate though.)

Oh, and The Body was sad the first time, but when you've experienced that kind of thing for real, you see it in a whole different light. Definitely the best episode of the whole series, but a hell of a lot harder to watch.
 
First time I watched I Only Have Eyes for You, I thought it was okay, now I love it. I liked Homecoming when I first saw it, now I just roll my eyes at the "running from homecoming queen" montage. I also didn't fully appreciate Restless the first time through. And most of Season 4 I didn't think was all that great but now I love most of them.
