Tonight I rewatched the second season episode "A Private Little War".
Most fans remember this for the white alien ape or the ultra sexy witch woman or the bad wigs. But putting that aside, this is a very dark, layered and complex allegory story about the Vietnam War. Every time I watch this episode, I am shocked and impressed by the very adult nature of this episode. Also how far they pushed the tv censors of the time period, as the episode features an attempted gang rape. Definitely an episode that gives you lots to think and talk about afterwards.
