Good summary of the hosts' thoughts on comics.
Skip
Way too long for the few interesting parts.
Skip
In spite of the length, fairly shallow discussion. This many hosts doesn't work.
Listen
The comics continuity discussion is mildly interesting, but there are some great moments including Ben's idea for fixing continuity and the post-end music singalong.
Essential
In the running for funniest episode ever. In the finest SFC tradition, it's basically riffing on Wikipedia, and it is glorious.

Great theological study with comic book tie-in

An interesting and funny discussion of a great sci-fi topic and how it relates to Christianity. Featuring delirious Ben!

Not much added to other Joss Whedon conversations they've had on the podcast.

Decent. Daniel drove the discussion and Koby was Koby.

Another "so bad it's good" episode. Ridiculously simple and ridiculous.
Skip
Thought-provoking questions, but not a stand-out episode.
Listen
It's not an in-depth discussion, but the hosts offer a balanced take and raise some great thinking points.

A pretty funny episode with some amusing Bigfoot theories, but no.
Essential
Time Loop (№ 87)
"The Dark Knight on Trial" was the first iconic episode; "Attack of the Clones" is the first great episode. Prepare to have your mind expanded and your beliefs challenged.
