Day 06 - Favorite episode of your favorite TV show

This one is so hard! I love all Robin of Sherwood episodes (there are so few of them), and I really really love a lot of them. The pilot Robin Hood and the Sorcerer, Seven Poor Knights From Acre, Alan a Dale, Cromm Cruac, Rutterkin, all were contenders.

But since I have to choose I am going to go with The Swords of Wayland.







This is a two-parter that takes our heroes out of Sherwood. It's not your usual Robin v Sheriff shenanigans. The outlaws are summoned to a village somewhere far away (5 days walk), and that's enough to make these episodes memorable.


Not your typical day in Sherwood, eh?

It's so much bigger in scope and stakes. Here is the cold open:



THIS MADE A BIG IMPRESSION ON ME AS A TEN YEAR OLD CHILD, LET ME TELL YOU. O.o Creepier than the Nazgul, y/y?

Other things this episode has going for it: a villain named Morgwyn of Ravenscar.



That is one badass name, right there. She has the immortally awesome line, "And you Verdelet, you can't even kill a priest!"

I seem to recall this episode made me go around chanting "He that is bound shall be set free and he that rules shall be OVERTHROWN!" That was probably alarming whether or not anyone knew where I got that from.





So pretty.





In case that one is hard to make out, it's Nasir being awesome and badass between two lit perimeter barrier thingees.



"They shoot very well."











It's ok, just lie there and pant. Take as long as you need.


Wet's a good look on you, baby.






Had I had to choose for my runners-up, it'd be Once More With Feeling for Buffy, Bad Blood for X-Files, and it's harder to pick for Veronica Mars, maybe An Echolls Family Christmas?
