We all have our favorite episodes of the 'Verse, but I would also like to know what are your favorite episodes of all time from any TV show. The ones that made a huge impact on you, or just one that was inventive, or ground-breaking, or just plain amazing. You can can name one episode of any of the four Joss shows, but this thread is for those other shows nearest and dearest to your heart as well. Name the episode titles as well as the shows, and explain a little bit as to why.
Restless, "BtVS": I've explained my love for this episode more times than one on these boards, so no need for rehashing. It was just a mind-blowingly amazing hour of television, with more depth than a Psychology book.
Not Fade Away, "Angel": The best possible finale you could give a show like this. And the ending was pitch perfect. The good fight is always a constant struggle, and you've got to keep on fighting the good fight, no matter what the obstacles are (sure, my obstacles aren't large dragons, but hey, it's the metaphor that counts.)
Out Of Gas, "Firefly": My favorite episode of Firefly, and one that cemented my love for the show. It showed how these characters join the crew of Serenity, and my oh my, was it glorious to watch.
The Attic, "Dollhouse": The first episode of this series that left my jaw hanging to the floor. I've never been more floored by an episode of DH. It touched the inner minds of these characters through dreams, in the way "Restless" did, and I love it probably just as much.
Donut Run, "Veronica Mars": Mysteries are always a tricky thing to pull of, but VM managed to keep us guessing episode after episode. This episode, while not a main arc installment, gave me my biggest "WTF" reaction out of any series. Veronica gets arrested as an accomplice for the kidnapping of an abused child, and there are twists and turns at every turn. I thought I knew what would happen, but I felt completely and utterly dumb by the end of the episode. The writers were completely smarter than me, and I couldn't be more thankful.
The Fly, "Breaking Bad": It's a love it or hate it episode. Some think it's pointless and boring, others think it's thought provoking and genius. And genius it is. It's a testament to the show to have the two main characters basically spend the episodes talking to each other, in the same place, for 40 minutes straight, all while trying to catch a fly. Sounds stupid huh? As the episode goes on, one character's need to kill a fly turns into something deeper, more meaningful, and it wouldn't be awesome if it wasn't for the amazing chemistry those two characters had.
With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept, "One Tree Hill": I was obsessed with OTH back in the day, and this episode, centered around a school shooting, haunts me forever. Especially the ending. It was the most talked about event at that time, with one of the most talked about character deaths (even to this day) and I will never forget it.

There is no other show in the world with the sincere heart of OTH and never was it showcased more than this ep. This was [i]importnat[/i] TV. It still is.
