Favorite Eps:
Season One:
It's definitely a toss up between the Pilot and Destiny. The Pilot is great for obvious reasons. It was the beginning where a boy risked exposure to save the girl he loved.
Destiny is great because I absolutely loooove the chase scene in the beginning, and then, of course, ML finally admitting their love for one another in spite of everything else.
Season Two:
I hate to admit it, but I had a lot of favorites from S2. As much as I hated the season altogether, I think some of the best scenes are hidden inside that season.
End Of The World is by far my favorite episode from this season, as tragic as it was. My favorite part is Liz's words to Future Max about how he's the love of her life, everyone else is going to be second best. I just thought that the writing in that episode, aside from the message for Liz, was superb.
The Harvest is also one of my favorites. Particulary, Max and Liz's conversation when she tells him that he has her on a pedestal on she's not this perfect person. Rips my heart out, but I love it.
And, finally, Departure is a great episode. The ML scene in the jeep, where he screams at Tess for calling Liz a bitch, just wonderful.
Season Three:
Not a big fan of this season, even though ML were together most of it. I felt like a lot of it was just thrown together with no real regard for plot, lol. My favorite episode though, was probably Busted because I
loved watching Liz stick up the guy in the convenience store. She didn't seem nervous at all, lol.
And then of course, Ch-Ch-Changes because she finally grew a pair and told Max how she felt.
Panacea is great when Liz and Eileen have their convo about Max in the attic.
And then there's the finally episode which tugs at my heart every time simply because it was the last.
As for favorite characters, can you tell from my post that it's Max and Liz?

I also loved Michael and Maria though, expecially in S2. They seemed to be the ones worth watching during the tragedy befalling my favorite couple, lol.
