I read that to mean that all they might have for next season are 8 episodes.

Yes. There were originally supposed to be 16. 16-8=8. ;)

Curse you, math! <<

Well, while we wait another two months for the beginning of Season 4, which episodes do you think have been the best so far? As a reminder, here's a list of episodes, with links to the trailers, and a reminder of which character's flashback features in each. WARNING! This list is potentially spoilerish if you haven't seen the first three seasons.

Oh, and by the way, episode 4.01 will be entitled "The Beginning of the End". So sayeth Wikipedia.

So which do you consider to be the top 5 best episodes of the first three seasons?

My favourite would have to be:

1. "Walkabout" (1.04)
2. "Flashes Before Your Eyes" (3.08)
3. "Catch-22" (3.17)
4. "Exposé" (3.14)
5. "The Man From Tallahassee" (3.13)

Season 1 is still the best overall, but Season 3 has some of the very best episodes. :)

Fave lost charector, that's gota be Wally, innit?

So which do you consider to be the top 5 best episodes of the first three seasons?
Enter 77 (3.11)
The Brig (3.19)
The Man Behind the Curtain (3.20)
? (2.21)
Pilot, Part 2 (1.02) - for the line "I just shot a polar bear!"

And I'd agree with you Ariddia - season 1 is best, but season 3 has the best episodes.

And I'd agree with you Ariddia - season 1 is best, but season 3 has the best episodes.

And yet we don't agree on the best episodes. ;)

Anyway... There is now a Season 4 trailer, with footage with Season 4 episodes:
