There is a Cowboy Bebop 'which session are you?' quiz rolling around the peripheries of my world. I'm not going to take it. In fact, I refuse to. Why?
It does not offer the possibility of being any of the episodes behind the lj-cut, all of which are among my favorites:
Session 01: Asteroid Blues
Session 02: Stray Dog Strut
Session 11: Toys In the Attic
Session 12: Jupiter Jazz (Part 1)
Session 13: Jupiter Jazz (Part 2)
Session 14: Bohemian Rhapsody
Session 22: Cowboy Funk
Session 24: Hard Luck Women
Session 25: The Real Folk Blues (Part 1)
Session 26: The Real Folk Blues (Part 2)
So since the quizmaker can't even bother integrating my favorite episodes of the series into his little quiz, well, scrooo'm.

--Of course, I like it because it's the Ridley Scott episode, just as 'Stray Dog Strut' is the Jackie Chan episode, 'Ballad of Fallen Angels' is the John Wu episode (complete with birds flapping around everywhere!), and Asteroid Blues is the 'Desparado' episode, and so on...
...has anyone, of curiosity, ever heard that each ep. of Bebop is specifically supposed to be inspired by a particular film or a director? And if so- has anyone ever seen which correspond to which?
There's a couple of eps I haven't pinned down yet.
