Ramble On: Death of the Stand Alone Episode 

Recently Mythic Quest has a number of great stand alone episodes (for my taste far better than main arc episodes), "A dark quiet death" in particular

Buffy have great standalone episodes (Hush, Beer Bad, OMWF), also X-Files and of course SPN and Community.

Well Buffy definitely has a couple of good a great example is the Wish from season 3 and for Supernatural it’s Mystery Spot( the Time Loupe episode)

Yeah, I like shows like Stranger Things that play off like one big movie but I do miss the fact that we don’t get a lot of episodic shows anymore. They are alive and well on cable but streaming avoids them. That’s what I liked about the Mandalorian Season 1. The middle episodes were very much episodic. I’m hoping Daredevil’s born again finds that balance. I really want to see a superhero show mixed with procedural legal drama.
