Random Question... for you!

If you could have your memory wiped about any movie or television show episode, so that you could watch it again for the very first time, with no idea of what was going to happen, what would it be?

Me? I would maybe say the final episodes of Angel, or Cowboy Bebop, but more likely...

Gone. The Spaced episode. 25 minutes of such awesomeness, the first time I saw it it almost broke my mind.

What say you?

The last episode of Cowboy Bebop. Because I knew how it ended before the first time I saw it. Although I still sat there in disbelief.

I would wipe the puppet episode of Angel. When I first heard about that episode, I refused to believe that it could be possible, or that they'd keep him as a puppet for anything more than half an act tops. When that little furry hand popped out of the wreckage at the end of the first act, I choked with mad glee.

Well, here lies the conundrum...

If I mention it, it tips off someone who hasn't seen it, therefore ruining the effect for others.

A disruption of the meta-consciousness, if you will.

However, in the spirit of the thread, I'm gonna say...Deus Ex (the game).

the end of Ultimate Spiderman, not because it was good but because I say it on Cinematech before I beat it.

WARNING TRIGUN! SPOILER

I wish my mind had been wiped so that i never heard about Woolfwood dying, and I'd also like to see it again for the first time. I cried.

I would wipe about half of Buffy from my mind. Most notably "Hush" because the first time i saw it, the floating ghouls freaked the crap out of me.
Also, Memento was not nearly as good the second time, so i would add that to my list

Hells yeah.

I might just say the entire Connor arc, just because I saw random bits of it before getting the DVD's and watching it all in order, and it would be nice to not see everything coming.

Aaahhh, Angel. How brilliant you are. :P

'Star Wars' I mean how cool would it be to have no idea that Luke and Laya were brother and sister and that Darth Vadar was their father? Too cool for words that's how cool.

Fight club.  I remember seeing it the first time and being blown away, and during that daze I didn't think but thoughts came and went.  I found myself there for a while and I'm afraid I've become addicted to that feeling.

I'd like to say Spaced aswell but I'm not so sure.  I love it so much it's like an old-friend now but when they first showed it on TV in the UK I thought it was crap.  It wasn't until a friend plied me with beer and a DVD player a couple of years later that I really appreciated it.

What if my 'new' first watching experience wasn't as good as it was back then!?!

Not to be sycophantic but it'd be nice to wipe my memory of QC, then I'd have something interesting to take my mind off essays.

Fooly Cooly.
The beauty of the show is in its complete lack of sense, unless you really watch it over and over. I loved that feeling, and unfortunately, i saw the last 2 episodes first.
I really want to know what it would be like watching it and truly having no clue what the fuck is going on.

The Empire Strikes Back would probably be more interesting if the shocking plot twist revelation wasn't repeated every three seconds by everyone in the world and I had no clue as to the truth about Luke's father.

This would also require knowledge of the prequels to be wiped from my mind since they are all about Luke's father. That doesn't sound too bad.

I would choose to see the last episode of Cowboy Bebop again, it was just too damned good.

The Matrix.

I want my mind erased of the memory of seeing Dark Water but not because I enjoyed it. That was a whole load of sucky.

I'm gonna go WAY back.

First time I saw Doom.  Never been quite so awestruck since.

Last time a FPS was a strange, mystical beast of dread potency.  Such a rush.

Survivor. I would watch all of those series over again nonstop if I could.











Kidding!

I'd probably say NCIS; that's a pretty kickass TV series, but I don't get to watch it often. Also, I have to concur with Stranger Dan's comments on Star Wars. They would've been much better if the "secrets" hadn't been revealed by every-freaking-one around me (I was rather slow to catch on to the Anakin-Darth Vader connection, to be honest).

Uhm, yeah.

I'd have to say the movie The Jacket.

Oh my god, is that movie amazing or what?

Whoever hasn't seen it is missing out.

Like, woah.

Kill Bill 1 & 2. I has friends who loved it so they had already spoiled nearly the entire plot in detail before I saw it. They had described half the moves and lines for chrissake! I love those movies to an unnatural point.
