           Some episodes I still remember watching for the first time (Sins of   
   the Past, for one), and   
   my reaction to them. Especially the more dramatic or humorous or   
   out-of-the-ordinary ones (Bitter   
   Suite, Xena Scrolls, Been There Done That, et al). Most of the ones I remember   
   are from the last   
   couple of seasons (When Fates Collide, Send in the Clones, FIN).   
       And those are memories I want to keep remembering - they were fresh and   
   new and exciting (and   
   sometimes sad).
