HH's Top AtS Episodes ROUND SEVEN PART 1

[Hellbound Hyperion]

Hello, and welcome to the Top Angel Episodes poll, round seven!

First, as usual, a fond farewell to the ten episodes making an exit this time:

Origin (S5)
Reunion (S2)
That Vision Thing (S3)
Loyalty (S3)
Ground State (S4)
Disharmony (S2)
Release (S4)
Quickening (S3)
Reprise (S2)
Conviction (S5)

Our Top Five is now a happy mess of ANGEL episodes usually revered by the fans:

Shells (S5) - 54 votes
Not Fade Away (S5) - 40 votes
Waiting in the Wings (S3) / A Hole in the World (S5) / Five By Five (S1) / You're Welcome (S5) - all tied at 39 votes
Spin The Bottle (S4) - 38 votes
Rm w/a Vu (S1) - 36 votes

And the remaining two episodes in the Top Ten are Life of the Party (S5) and Smile Time (S5) tied at 34 votes.

As we start to zero in on the favorites, episodes that were doing well before are starting to falter in terms of vote support; additionally, with this round, Season Five finally starts losing some more episodes - Season Five has been doing considerably strong in these votes because of Shells and Not Fade Away, primarily.

This is the second of two rounds with three parts; we only have 50 episodes left, so the choices you make in this round will greatly affect the tight-belted end-of-the-road voting rounds. Please remember to vote in ALL parts of a round, and thanks so much for voting!

My god. How in the name of hell did Reunion not get further? It is by far one of the best episodes of Angel. The Trial, Reunion and Redefinition is one of the best arcs on the whole series.

Just how it goes I suppose. S5 and S1 are the dominant seasons, with Spin The Bottle being the only major S4 representative in the upper levels of voting - most other S4 episodes are either gone or not getting enough votes to keep up as we start tightening down to the top 20!

And everybody loves Shells, apparently.

So strange. =/ I thought Season 2 episodes would be doing much better than Season 1. Still, c'mon, Reunion is off, and The Girl in Question is still on? I am disappointed in the voters, haha.
