Today is William Talman’s birthday! I intend to celebrate with a nice, Hamilton-centric episode or two.
I watched the uncut Lover’s Leap on
Saturday night, but there weren’t any extra scenes with Hamilton. There was
another with Andy that I greatly enjoyed seeing, however!
Pondering on my favorite Hamilton episodes from
throughout the series in an attempt to make a list of recommendations for today
is a difficult task. There’s so many to choose from! And for me, I don’t
measure an episode’s awesomeness where Hamilton is concerned by how much
screentime Hamilton has, but what happens within said screentime. But, in an
attempt to pick episodes with both quantity and quality of screentime, I
thought of these:

#238
– The Duplicate Case
Season 9
#243
– The Fatal Fortune
#244
– The Candy Queen
#246
– The Impetuous Imp (I’m still somewhat lukewarm on the episode, but
there’s a lot of Hamilton, and his screentime is pretty positive)
#247
– The Carefree Coronary
#250
– The Wrathful Wraith
#259
– The Golfer’s Gambit (I like Hamilton’s screentime excluding the awful
writing for his testimony in court. I like the uncut episode even more.)
#262
– The Twice-Told Twist (Hamilton in color!)
#267
– The Dead Ringer
#269
– The Positive Negative
And there's lots of other episodes with excellent moments of Hamilton screentime, of course. This is just a starting point of some I particularly enjoy watching and re-watching.
