Angel: I Will Remember You (1999)
Top Ten "Angel" Episode
This is one of the most fascinatingly emotional episodes of any show on television you'll ever watch. And consider the source: I was only a fan of Angel, never having seen Buffy. And if the events which transpire in this episode, aptly entitled "I Will Remember You", hit me that hard without any prior knowledge of Buffy+Angel's relationship, then imagine how good it is once you've experienced "Buffy" through its first few seasons.
What is so amazing is that everything leading up to the last ten minutes isn't all that great. In all actuality, it's very gooey, very melodramatic, very romantic. Which isn't what embodies "Angel" as it progresses through the years. However, the one theme that does tie all the seasons together - atonement - is in full force here. Angel makes countless difficult decisions throughout his arc on "Buffy" and "Angel", but the one he makes at the end of this glorious episode might be the toughest. It will assuredly make you weep like a little school girl, and Joss Whedon, forever the master of creating instantly relatable characters who go through times no mere mortal should endure, wouldn't have it any other way. For sheer emotional torment, this episode is up there with "A Hole in the World", "Shells", "Tomorrow", and "You're Welcome".
Bones (2005)
David Boreanaz returns in fine form!
After the premature cancellation of the acclaimed Angel (from Joss Whedon), David Boreanaz quickly returned to the television scene with this brainy series. Has potential to be Fox's next big hit (after 24, American Idol, and now House). Great writing, cool characters, and humorous banter between Agent Booth (Boreanaz) and Bones (Emily Deschanel (sp?)). The show centers around an FBI agent who is paired with a DNA/Bones analyst in order to solve crimes in a faster, more efficient manner; he can get her into places she normally couldn't go, and she can see things that Agent Booth misses. Started off to mediocre ratings, but steam had steadily gathered, and if positioned correctly (just like House was put right behind American Idol and is now a ratings juggernaut), it could definitely be another great hit for Fox, which can take all the quality programming it can stand.
