Installment Two

Day Five! Episode Three!
1:13 - The Blue Spirit
Okay, sure, this is a bit of a jump. From episode two to episode thirteen. But picking seven episodes that matter out of twenty that matter! (Except for maybe The Great Divide...)
I'm going to go ahead and say this now: WARNING! THE EPISODE "THE BLUE SPIRIT" CONTAINS A SUPER MOVIE SPOILER. If you have not seen the series and desire to remain innocent and untainted, please, don't watch this episode.
But other than that, the Blue Spirit provides an insightful view of duty and drive and fleshes out motivation for the main cast. It's an action packed episode with some of the best fight sequences in the series. It's story, while a bit flat in the b plot, thrives in it's a plot and gives the audience an intense look at some serious butt kicking action.
The translation of this episode to the big screen will most likely be one of the most pure transitions. Viewers of the original episode's story line can easily expect Shymalan's rendition to be as good, if not better, than the first.
Fun fact: This episode is so amazing because the show was originally picked up for 13 episodes. The creators, unaware of the show's fate, decided that the thirteenth episode had to be mind blowing just in case it was their last. I can undoubtedly say that they succeeded.
Not sure if you agree? Go ahead and take a gander at "The Blue Spirit"!
