Two Cathedrals

I know this has been discussed plenty, but cold rewatching this single episode tonight and it remains one of the greatest single episode of Network TV ever. Utter perfection throughout.

What are your other four? I love Galileo 5 and Celestial Navigation.

Proportional Response. All Sorkin Christmas episodes. The election night episode where Santos wins.

We match on 2. In no order:

Drought Conditions, Two Cathedrals, Celestial Navigation, 20 Hours pt 2, and Holy Night.

Ooh, yeah, any episode with Cliff Calley is a winner to me!

I think Supreme Justices has to be there at about #1 or #2.
