Episodes you Remembered from Childhood?
So we all remember watching this show when we were younger, but how many episodes actually stuck with you? When I first revisited the series a few years ago there were some episodes I had no recollection of and some I didn't remember until I started rewatching. The following episodes were ones that stayed in my mind all those years in-between:
Laughing in the Dark (who could forget Zeebo?)
The Captured Souls (I don't know why, but I never forgot this one. The imagery always stayed with me.)
The Pinball Wizard (I think it was mostly the imagery: the witch and executioner and the ride on the chair. I vaguely remember sitting down and watching this one as a kid.)
The Midnight Madness (how could any kid escape the image of Nosferatu coming out of the movie screen?)
The Dream Machine (I just vividly remembered the vampire dance dream sequence)
The Hatching (I always remembered the scene with the kids mindlessly walking and watering the eggs. If I recall, Buffy had a similar episode so maybe that's why it stuck with me.)
The Phone Police (I remembered the premise of this episode which was odd because after rewatching I really disliked it)
The Dollmaker (I remembered the scene where the girl's doll arm fell off or something like that. It really stuck with me.)
The Bookish Babysitter (once again it was the imagery of the witch and knight that stuck with me)
Cutter's Treasure (this two-parter was one I never forgot.)
The Renegade Virus (okay, call me easy but as a kid that virus scared the *beep* out of me. I never forgot it.)
The Quiet Librarian (the imagery of the kids screaming and no sound coming out just stayed with me)
The Ghastly Grinner (like Zeebo, he was hard to forget)
The Unfinished Painting (the scenes in which Jewel Staite is stuck dancing in the painting and when the woman sets fire to it were fresh in my memory)
The Closet Keepers (an odd one to stick with you I guess, but I always remembered the scene where they used the map to go back home and escape)
Dead Man's Float (it made me nervous to go swimming for gym class; unforgettable)
The Chameleons (who could forget Tia and Tamera?)
The Unexpected Visitor (aliens making contact and all that but the scene I never forgot was when the younger brother was having all that ice cream. No idea why)
A Door Unlocked (the little door smoking never left my mind)
The Night Shift (another unforgettable episode)
The Silver Sight (I remembered more about this one than any other probably because 1) nick showed it soooo often, 2) a lot of the scenes repeated due to showing different character perspectives, and 3) it was in the last season so I was old enough to remember better)
The Lunar Locusts (maybe it was because Tara Lipinski was so popular at the time but I also never forgot the end scene in the football field.)
So which episodes never ever left your mind?
As I mentioned there were some that I recalled but only after revisiting them whereas the previously mentioned episodes were always remembered at least partially due to strong imagery, etc. Some that I remembered after going back through the series included: The Lonely Ghost, Twisted Claw, Hungry Hounds, Super Specs, Nightly Neighbors, Thirteenth Floor, Frozen Ghost, Old Man Corcoran, Quicksilver, Crimson Clown, Fire Ghost, Station 109.1, Vampire Town, and Oblivion.
All the other episodes were new to me even though I know I watched them as a kid. Just not as memorable, I guess?
So which ones did you never forget?
Which did you recall only after a new viewing?
And which did you forget altogether?
