Favorite episode of your favorite TV show
I have two- "The Night of the Vipers" and "The Night of the Pisoleros." (For future reference, all WWW episodes have the same "Night of the..." titling structure, handily abbreviated to TNOT.)
If I was recommending a WWW episode to a first time viewer, it would be "The Night of the Vipers." The baddies have stupid outfits, but if you aren't comfortable with that, you and this show will not get far together- otherwise I have no complaints. The premise is straightforward enough- a gang called the Vipers have been robbing banks in frontier towns. Only one town in that area hasn't been hit yet, which means it's either the next target, or the source of the gang- so that's where Jim goes to investigate. Artie is already there disguised as a reporter. (This is the usual set-up for WWW- the plan is generally to make the bad guys think Jim is working alone, and give Artie oppourtunity to gather information the locals might keep from a secret service agent.) The plot from there is coherent and easy to follow, and also there's a fight scene the lasts for about five years that I find immensely entertaining.
It's the slash that I love so much about this episode, though. Jim is declared enemy number one this town very quickly, and has to sneak up through the window of Artie's hotel room not once but twice. He has to change his shirt a lot, and Artie never seems to run out of spares. There's also a bit where Artie very clearly has a side of the bed.
"The Night of the Pistoleros" is my other favorite and it gives me massive feels- as is evidenced by the fact that I made a fanmix for it for the
waywardmixes one episode challenge. It's not one I'd recommend for a first time viewer because one needs a baseline for Jim to fully appreciate how crazy he goes when he thinks Artie's dead, but it is wonderful.
