I love Firefly's Out of Gas episode like it's nobody's business, but if I were introducing someone to the wonders of tv, I'd want to show a space cowboy series episode with all those old-fashioned elements and pretty outfits. In the future. With space ships and duels and snarky comments.
Whoa... it would have to be something slower paced, no action adventure, with a scene continuity someone with television experience might not need. It would be similar to showing someone the net for the first time. Where you or I can move about the net and take things in at a glance because of our experience, someone new to the net finds this infinitely confusing to watch. So... I think an 'oldie but goodie' would be appropriate. More talk, less camera jump, less calling on assumptions based on experience. But, what? *pulls hair* Good poll!
Evil question! EVIL! My brain automatically went to "Firefly", but I could not, for the life of me, pick an episode. Nope, I'd rather eat my stepfather's socks for dinner (Ewwwwww) so I went for my 2nd fav. T.V. series, duh, SGA, and I thought, "What episode had you laughing, smiling, clapping, jumping and just relishing the fact that you have clable?" DUET! Come on, seeing Rodney go crazy, kiss Carson (if I try hard enough, I can shift Carson to become John) and be his usual smarty self, is just the best thing, ever :)
I am going to be clevur. 'Stargate Atlantis', because I am currently into the series...and since we have one DVD player... lol you see my point. As per the episode, it would have to be 'The Storm', simply because it's more serious and more action packed than the others. It's also part one of a two parter, so that if the person liked part one, they are very likely to watch part two and be completely pulled into the series. ;)
as I could choose different shows and episodes according who the person is: taste in books, taste un music, age... Not the same try and charm a 60 years old, Beatles' lovers, who believe Asimov is greater than Shakespeare, or a 16 years old, who loves Nightwish and has only read Lovercraft because of Metallica... But is ok, you ask, I answer =D
