The Essential JONNY QUEST

In discussing Roger Evans's brilliant, if somewhat obsessive, stop-motion recreation of the opening credit sequence from Jonny Quest, it was learned that there are individuals who have never seen Jonny Quest at all.

Your challenge: Which, let's say two, episodes of the show would you recommend to someone who had never seen it?

To assist with your homework, some references:

Jonny Quest episode guide.

Wikipedia entry on the series.

IMDB episode guide

The original cel-animated opening which inspired Mr. Evans:

Season 1, Episode 8: The Robot Spy
Original Air Date—6 November 1964
As Dr. Quest works on an revolutionary new weapon, Dr. Zin sends an advanced and unstoppable spider-like robot to examine it.

Season 1, Episode 15: Turu the Terrible

Though "Season 1, Episode 1: The Mystery of the Lizard Men" could replace Turu.

But, yeah, The Robot Spy is the episode that I bought the collection for. :-)
