So the Willow episode takes the top spot, with the finale and the Joss-written amnesia episode rounding out the top three. Let's see what you guys had to say...

"All I really have to say is "Willow." Since she is the be all - end all of my universe...this was my favorite episode of the season. Plus, she looked so hot. Long straight hair and earthy toned clothes. Yummy!"
- RedHeadedWitch

"I voted Spin the Bottle. It was a good episode all the way through for me. From Fred and the weed to Cordelia telling Angel that they were in love and leaves. The narration by Lorne was really what made the episode stand out in my mind. Plus DB forgetting his accent... But this one was easily my favorite."
- Aeryn

"I loved Spin the Bottle! Lornes little talks were funny."
- just anne

"I liked Orpheus but other than that, season 4 just plain SUCKED."

"Orpheus is some truly amazing television right there. It was very cool to see back into Angel's VERY tortured past. David shined with his ability to be tortured and giddy-evil at almost the same time. Also the Alexis/Alyson interaction was very nice to have. They have definite chemistry (even if Willow is gay)."
- mrsmarsters

"It's definitely "Home". I love the bookend episodes of this season. "Deep Down" was a close second. The stuff in between was okay. Conner was a drag, unfortunately. Willow was out of character (magically) in "Orpheus" and "Salvage" is probably my third favorite this season (some cheesy dialogue not withstanding). To be fair, some of Angel's best stuff is in this season."
- Sunnycide

"I think that Orpheus is the best episode of season four. I enjoyed seeing Alyson Hannigon again on Angel and the interaction between her and Fred. I also enjoyed seeing Angelus and Faith going through the flashbacks, especially in the diner when Angelus commented on the song "Mandy". Ever since then, my friends and I have been singing the chorus of "Mandy"."
- Liz

"Orpheus is definitely my favorite because I'm a faith fan but also all those flashbacks were done perfectly in my opinion."
- Amber

"I almost went with Orpheous but decided I liked Release better. It reintroduced us to Faith, brought us up to date on her and ended with a cliff hanger. I thought Faith had the best arc of any of the characters involved in season 4 Angel, so I must choose this kick ass episode that brought her to stage center!"

Not many comments. Hopefully this week's big poll pulls out better numbers.

This week's poll asks you to vote for the best Angel episode in the first 4 seasons. This list will be the viewer's Top 10 best episodes (1-4), which will end up on a special page. Viewer comments are important this week, as some selected comments will be placed on that page. So vote and comment. :)

That's it for now. Back in the PM.
