User blog comment:ThatGuy456/A Guy's Thoughts: My Top Ten Favorite Episodes of 2018/@comment-9300845-20181229041358

Solid Top Ten list of favorite episodes, although I respectfully disagree with "The Cage" and "The One" as picks.

I greatly enjoyed "The Cage" when it originally premiered on VOD, what with the episode starring Mr. Corneille and it being a send-up of Rocky and its ilk. But over time, it lost its luster as Season 6 progressed, and I'd found certain subsequent episodes to be better than that episode. Perhaps I should give it one more rewatch...

"The One," on the other hand... I still don't really get the appeal. Admittedly, I've warmed up to that episode a little bit after several rewatches, but why it's among the most popular Season 6 episodes is lost on me. I can only attribute this disparity to my own apathy toward Tobias-focused episodes. For some reason, such episodes have never really clicked with me, not even the stronger ones such as "The Slap" and "The Test." It's a shame, since I like Tobias as a character. I guess this just goes to show that he's never meant to be the lead.

As for the rest of your picks for Top Ten episodes of 2018, I agree with them. I'm especially enthusiastic that you've chosen "The Candidate" and "The Buddy!" Although you've mentioned other episodes (in both your article and one of your replies) that you've deemed to be good, but not quite enough to make the cut. I'd like to see you write another article and include those episodes as your Honorable Mentions, although I doubt you have time or even any interest in writing it, lel.
