A lot does depend on individual taste before you decide what episode will appeal it's true!

And yeah, I was never keen in Some Assembly Required either. It's funny but I always feel a bit wary when newbies get season 2 recommended to them as the high point of the series/best season ever, because of course they mean for the Angelus arc, but I always wonder what newbies think when they are working their way through the first half and some of the bad filler there like Reptile Boy, Bad Eggs etc
