I can't believe no one has mentioned Fred's death in Angel? That episode almost made me cry. That was my favourite death scene purely for how well it was done. Wesley's death was heart breaking too.
Also, Juliet and Charlie's deaths in Lost were well done. When Juliet fell in I actually stood up and screamed "no"! Nonetheless, I startled my sister who fell of her sit in surprise!

1) Angel - Yep, I think it's better then Buffy. I just think Angel was more consisitently stronger then Buffy. When Buffy hit it's low points (e.g. Season 4 and 7) Angel was still going strong, well, maybe not Angel Season 4 but I still like it better then Buffy Season 7. It's the show which pretty much made me want to write.
2) Lost - Interesting to say the least! I love the characters, I love the mysteries and I love... everything. Although it got a little crazy towards the end, it was still fun. It feels like a bunch of geeks got together and just made the show that they felt every geek out their would just love and it worked.
3) Buffy the Vampire Slayer - First TV show I ever properly watched. Great characters and great stories made a great show. It does have it's fair share of weak points (we'll not mention Beer Bad) but it's still one of the best shows out there. This and Lost properly are tied for second place but I just put Buffy here for convenience.
4) Veronica Mars - I love Veronica. She's really funny but clever. Season 1 and 2 were spectacular and season 3 was still pretty good. I love the mysteries and trying to figure out who "dunnit" and I really l love Amanda Seyfried so I enjoyed her scenes the most.
5) Batman: The Animated Series - Very dark for a children's program. I used to watch this as a kid and my parents happened to catch the episode with Two-Face and forbid me to watch it after that! I got the DVDs recently and I actually love them.

Loved Dollhouse, although I do think the first five episodes of season 1 were a bit meh. It really picked up with "A Spy in the House of Love" and "Omega". "Epitaph One" might be one of my favourite hours of television. Like most of Joss's shows, they start off slow and then really pick up (even in Firefly, which the second half is better then first) but unfortunately the world isn't looking for a slow-paced science fiction show.
I wonder if Dollhouse will go on to be renowned like Firefly is?

As a non-smallville watcher, I went into this a bit blind and I have to say it was a lot of fun. I liked the characters and I especially liked the pre-Batman Bruce. I did get a little confused at times but this was probably because I didn't have the knowledge of what had happened previously to the characters over in Smallville and it took me a while to work out who The Green Arrow was!
It was a really interesting read and I will defiantly be looking at episode 2.

Yep, Supernatural/drama is my favourite, although I'm finding that I'm quite liking the whole detective and superhero/vigilante genre. Jossverse continuations are also a big favourite for me.

This series looks really interesting and as Batman is my favourite "super"hero I was greatly intrigued by this series. However, I never watched Smallville and I was wondering if I would still get this series even though I haven't seen Smallville?
