Too Many Christmas Trees:
More than any other episode, this one is imbued with that "warm and fuzzy"
feeling between Steed and Emma of which I simply cannot get enough. I live for the tag scene! |
|
The Gravediggers:
The train theme and the nutty Sir Horace Winslip make this one a winner for me—especially
the goofy sequence as Steed rescues Emma from the rails of doom. |
|
A Touch of Brimstone:
Yes, there's no better Emma-watching to be found, but it's also a great episode all
around. Steed removing the pea before the fall of the axe is but one of many winning scenes. |
|
A Surfeit of H2O:
Features a bumper crop of the most memorable oddball characters and scenes ever created.
Steed's soliloquy on Buttercup Wine is worth it alone. |
|
Dial a Deadly Number:
Chock full of the sharpest dialog of the series. Look for some experimental editing. And
revel in a duel to end all duels. |
|
The Cybernauts: In spite of a clichéd story line and dated technobabble,
the first Avengers episode to air in the U.S. still leaves a lasting impression—in more ways than one. |
|
The Hidden Tiger:
Charming is an understatement. Some unforgettable lines and a bevy of double-entendres.
"Pussies galore" indeed! |
|
Who's Who???:
Not only do we get to enjoy Steed and Emma kissing (never mind that they were out of their minds)
but their alter-persona make some wonderful comments about one another. |
|
Death's Door: One of the few color episodes
possessed of a monochrome-era feel. Surreal, gripping and effective. |
|
The Joker: A
more disturbingly diabolical mastermind than Max Predergast there never was. Steed limping
to the rescue is terminally romantic. |
