Glad you liked this!

Interesting. Personally, I already really liked "The Cage" when it first premiered, and unlike you, I found that my enjoyment for it has only increased. I just found it to be sharp and exciting episode in season, while not bad, had a decent handful of "lukewarm" episodes, for a lack of a better term. I think it is something you should give a rewatch when time permits just to solidify an opinion.

Hmm, I don't know what to tell you about "The One." You like Tobias well enough, but episodes focusing on him never click with you. This may be something worth looking into on your own time.

I was a bit iffy on including "The Candidate." The flaws have become more noticeable with each viewing, but I determined that its positives still outweighed the negatives and that it was still a season highlight. "The Buddy" was a no-brainer, really; I loved it the first time, and recent viewings has only affirmed just how much it clicks with me.

Yeah, a list of honorable mentions probably isn't happening, but since you're curious, "The Silence," "The Father," "The Rival," "The Anybody," "The Founder," and "The Slip" most likely would have made it on there to some capacity if I was to go through with it.

Out of curiosity, what other two episodes would you have put in place of "The One" and "The Cage?"

Thanks for reading!
