Ooh, he's a brave boy is our Jonathon :) And to think... I'd just logged on to say: [see next post "Welcome fellow travellers"] >Jonathan's Best Ten Episodes >#6. ROCK SOLID I agree that this is a great ep, although I would probably marginally prefer "The Big Finish?" as a representative of the period (if only for Brian "Do you people not like me" Magboy and Lynda's (eventual) dialogue with Spike). >#7.

THE WEEK AND PIZZA >Kenny's line to Sam when she's perched on his desk is brilliant. I find an almost intangible greatness to this ep, probably due in part to the change of pace after Jasper Street >Jonathan's Worst Ten Episodes >#4. SHOULDN'T I BE TALLER >About the only episode where I really dislike Colin >#6. THERE ARE CROCODILES My first instinct was to disagree with this one (so much have I been brainwashed by the constant praise heaped on this episode (not entirely unjustifiedly) by my list comrades), but actually I've always thought that while there are some great sides to the story (and being the last ep made it very special) some of it is so atypical (or perhaps just unpalettable) that it can, in moments, be depressing to watch. Maybe I just like to see happy families too much, but I find the constant conflict (Lynda seeming uncaring, Lynda mistrusting Spike) leaves me with a sad feeling in many parts (although the ep as a whole works well, and is written brilliantly as it goes). Of course, the great bits are truly great *****spoilers (?) backwards in brackets (agas llabtoof eht ,dne eht ta kcabthgif lanoitome s'adnyL)*****, and it certainly works as a way to end the series while leaving the punters interested. >#8. SOMETHING TERRIBLE >Too much of Colin being serious. (Included to annoy Kevin :) ) >#9. HOLDING ON >Suffers from an attack of the stupids, but partially redeemed by the ending >(the walkman) I agree absolutely (esp the walkman). >And so Jonathan (who has caught the overuse of brackets virus), Haha, I knew it would catch on!
