Body Swap episodes

*Krutch* · 12-14-2013, 04:14 AM

I was going to post this in the Buffy thread but since it's more of a general question... Anybody here like body swap episodes? Not sure what's so alluring about them, but they usually end up being one of the most entertaining and well written episodes of the series. It's a recurring plot mechanic so I'm sure I can't be the only one who thinks so. What's some of your favorite body swap episodes? Or do you not like them at all?

My top two(at least, off the top of my head) would be Buffy's "Who Are You?" where Buffy and Faith swap bodies as well as Smallville's "Transferrence" which swaps Clark with Lionel. "Hex" was another good Smallville swap episode but was disappointing that Lois happened to be offscreen the entire time Chloe became Lois for a day. "The Ole Switcheroo" from the original toon is lots of fun as well, with Shredder and Splinter swapping.

Pretty awesome to see how often it's been done.

I like the Justice League unlimited episode where Flash and Lex Luthor swap bodies.

"Lex Lex, your having a bad day. If nothing else i can find out the Flash's secret identity" Takes off Flash mask "I have no idea who this is"

One of my favorite body swap episodes of all time is "The Tick vs. Science" from the last season of The Tick. Hilarious episode and so many quotable quotes. A shame season 3 was never released on DVD. It was the best season IMO.

There's a pretty funny body swap episode in Fairy Tail that's left unresolved at the end for kicks. Also, the Futurama episode where everyone swaps bodies is great. Generally I think they're incredibly stupid, though.

I usually like them. Especially the classic TMNT's Season 3 episode where Splinter and Shredder swap bodies.

I loved the scene in Magiranger where Kai and Houka switches bodies
