The [[Hero Episode]] is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]], and basically what the [[Villain Episode]] is called when you've got yourself a villain protagonist. In TV shows where the person who is technically the villain is the main focus, it's interesting to have [[Something Completely Different]] for an episode to show what the ''real'' heroes of the story are doing. Whether it's just a [[Villains Out Shopping]] (villain?) episode, or [[The Greatest Story Never Told]] depends on the reason for the episode. Sometimes, the ''hero'' has done something so depraved that they need a [[Breather Episode]]. Maybe they just wanted something different. |
