What episodes can I happily skip?

To me, they're character pieces (much like how "The Choice" was for Aeryn in Season 3). Plus, I think skipping "Taking the Stone" will make some confused about "A Clockwork Nebari" (since the establishing of Chiana's brother Neri and how she knew he was dead was done in TTS). But that's just my opinion, of course. I could very well be wrong.
But this one's eating my popcorn! -

I found season two to be a bit tedious. I really enjoyed the first season and the third and I'm working my way through the fourth currently again and all good so far
I dont remember the name of the episode, but the flashback one on the planet of lawyers is the only one I couldn't physically make it all the way through. Although when I inevitably re-watch the entire thing again there will be a couple I might miss out..Taking the Stone I very much agree with.
So say we all -

Yeah the lawyer one might be the second worst ever
I kinda liked the fact that it made the two most "non plan-makin'" characters MAKE A PLAN. At that point - Chiana is still a wild card. Could you imagine being in a life and death situation. and your only hope of rescue is in the hands of on an oversexed kleptomaniac punk college Freshman (more or less)that you know in your heart is going to go all-in and then some Hijinks ensue. -

Not every episode is a jem but I agree, the Taking the Stone episode is particularly bad. Perhaps it's because it had so much Chianna in itfor me, that character is alright in small doses but an entire episode revolving around her was too much.

If you have to skip an episode then I would recommend Out of their Minds. The puppets in that were far too unrealistic and the voice work was pretty bad. Nick McKay sounded the same as he always does and Dominique Sweeny sounded like she was having an asthma attack. I didn't find the body swapping particularly funny either. Apart from a couple of scenes that is. To me it was the worst episode of the season.

See them and decide for yourself. I'm not a big fan of Coup by Clam, and John Quixote, but you might love those. It's a great show all around. I'm surprised when I find people who have never even heard of it!

Most of the skippable ones for me are in the first half of season 1.
I'm making my way through a rewatch now and just finished the third season. Not that I'd suggest skipping them if you haven't seen them but the Moya episodes were definitely weaker than the Talyn ones.
I did end up skipping "Picture if you will" and "The Locket" from Season 2. Season 3's Scratch N Sniff and Revenging Angel I'd recommend watching at least once, but I skipped through large portions of both on Netflix this go around. -

Sorry, but if you're going to take the time to watch a series from the beginning, then you need to watch ALL the episodes.
You don't read a book and skip out on all the chapters that don't interest you. You don't walk two thirds of a way through a movie and expect to watch the finale and be up on everything that has happened.
You take the good with the bad because it gives you the complete picture. Even with lucklustre episodes, there are things you can still enjoy about them not to mention important plot points maybe established that might go over you head if you choose to skip ahead and not watch.
