Continuity has been such a glaring weak spot in this series that it has driven one man to devote a massive archive to unraveling the on screen incoherence. Yet there are a chosen few episodes that managed to not undercut its fellow episodes AND get from the teaser to the credits without internal foulups as well (i.e, a blown timeline, which eliminates roughly half of the first two seasons.)

It is possible that more than one episode managed to have flawless continuity, so with that in mind, my selection is one that raised the level of difficulty:

Obsession
by Jon Povill and Steve Brown

It is probably because of its complex storyline that the writers were extra diligent in making sure everything made sense. Otherwise, the entire concept (a world where the future could be seen) would be ruined. Blinker's reasonable suggestion that this earth violates the rules of dimensional splits aside, the execution of this episode was near perfect.

I may not be a seer, but I can see many different nominations for this award. Go to it!
