Remember in the 90's when something would come out on VHS there would be a few episodes on tape connected to a broader theme? Which So Weird episodes fit into themes?
For example, Rebecca Angel Siren
These episodes are all connected with a theme of struggle and sacrifice, they also involve unintentionally hurting people they love due to larger forces at work that they cannot control - and secrets they can't reveal.

I remember those tape collections! They weren't quite the entire series, which was frustrating, but they made for great 90 minute little marathons.
As for a So Weird collection, I think the most common set is the alien arc. So that would be:
Another set could be about Rick's influence on the family? These eps focus on the Phillips mourning him, remembering him, and coming to terms that he's still around for them:
Medium - Nightmare
- Fountain
- Twin
Mine aren't as thorough as yours (I really like the thought you put into your collection), but I can probably think of more later.

Awesome!
The alien arc makes sense.
Also, I like the 4 you put into how Rick's shadow still follows the family.

SPELLBOUND I tried to group these episodes up by times characters had been under a spell (or at least a possessive/weird influence beyond their control). I tried not to pick the super obvious ones like Bricrui, Callie, etc. tulpa (James) mutiny ( ) fathom (Molly) transplant (Papa Bear) voodoo (Annie) banglebye (Jack & Clu)

These are episodes where characters put the needs of others before their own.
sacrifice (fi and solider for creature) banshee (fi for grandpa) strange geometry (fi for trapped souls) james garr (james for mr. defranco) encore (molly for fi) lightning rod (fi for family) annie's song (panther for annie)

THE MOLLY PHILLIPS TOUR COLLECTION
I thought if there were to be a "Molly Phillips Tour Collection" it would have to feature these episodes. I've starred the absolute musts!
*web sight - Of course the comeback tour and Ty Spencer's review of it has to be in here. plus, clu's "behind-the-scenes" videography makes this a perfect episode to kick off the Molly Phillips Tour Collection. simplicity - I want to put this here because of tug-and-pull highlight behind Molly's old career as a jingle writer and the new career with the big comeback. listen - Got to have this here because Listen is so important to Molly's charitable concerts, Carey, SheDaisy, and of course the brilliant New Math! second generation - Need this here because of the showcase, bits of songs we hear, and of course awesome Marey moments. *blues - Of course, this is a must have! *encore - Come on, need to say more? This is a seminal piece! *the muse - Molly's inspiration to play music and her muse, Rick, a nice place to finish the collection!

One thing I love about So Weird is the enduring theme of empathy... Fi and Annie provide the heart to listen to strangers and understand their pain when no one else will. Thus, I've put together, "So Weird: Empathy" - 2 sets, one for Fi and one for Annie.
SO WEIRD: EMPATHY (Fi)
- Escape - Fi & Claire
- Tulpa - Fi & James
- Werewolf - Fi & Laura
- Second generation - Fi & Ryan
- Roswell - Fi & Andrew
SO WEIRD: EMPATHY (Annie)
- Eddie's desk: Annie & Eddie
- Rewind: Annie & Jennifer
- Babble: Annie/Jack & Roland
- Mr magnetism: Annie & Zack
- Gone fishin: Annie & George

I think the most common set is the alien arc. So that would be:
I definitely agree with the alien arc. And probably something I would've posted, as well. I might add S2E25 "Transplant", though. And, maybe S3E10 'Earth 101". Another set could be about Rick's influence on the family? These eps focus on the Phillips mourning him, remembering him, and coming to terms that he's still around for them: Medium - Nightmare
- Fountain
- Twin
Herm, I might switch this up. My Version- S1E2 "Web Sight"
- S2E1 "Medium"
- S2E19 "
- S2E24 "Encore"
- S2E26 "Twin"
Where he was more "involved" (if you will).
Some other episodes I feel "go together": Family History(these are a mix of Rick & other family, within Fi's heritage, only) - S1E1 "Family Reunion"
- S1E8 "Strangeling"
- S1E9 "Rebecca"
- S1E13 "Will 'O the Wisp"
- S2E1 "Medium"
- S2E2 "Drive"

- S2E15 "Destiny"
- S2E17 "Avatar"
- S2E22 "Vampire"
- S2E24 "Encore"
- S2E25 "Transplant"
- S2E26 "Twin"
- S3E3 "Detention"
- S3E12 "Changling"
- S3E15 "Grave Mistake"
- S3E17 "The Muse"
- S3E24 "Dead Ringer"
Clu to Carey(including Carey's Secret & Clu's Return) - S1E8 "Strangeling"
- S2E2 "Drive"
- S2E3 "Siren"
- S2E4 "Nightmare"
- S2E5 "Listen"
- S2E6 "Mutiny"
- S2E8 "Werewolf"

- S2E9 "Second Generation"
- S2E11 "Banshee"
- S2E18 "James Garr"
- S2E21 "Rosewell"
- S2E22 "Vampire"
Jack(where Jack is the star of the show, mostly) - S2E2 "Drive"
- S2E4 "Nightmare"
- S2E17 "Avatar"
- S2E20 "Fathom"
- S3E24 "Dead Ringer"
Fi & Annie(episodes where they've interacted face to face or electronically via phone or message) - S3E1 "Lightning Rod"
- S3E4 "Eddie's Desk"
- S3E10 "Earth 101"
- S3E16 "Pen Pal"
Papa Bear- S2E14 "Strange Geometry"

- S2E15 "Destiny"
- S3E1 "Lightning Rod"
Tad Raxall- S1E6 "Simplicity"
- S2E10 "Oopa"
- S2E18 "James Garr"
I'm sure there's probably more to what I listed, but it's what I can think of, at the top of my head, for now.
