I just watched "Bored, She Hung Herself" available from here:

I loved it.
Just to reiterate, this is the "suppressed" episode from season 2, not included in DVD pkgs. nor ever shown on TV. It depicts a creepy, esoteric, and dangerous "yoga" practice in a way that was very controversial. I consider it an excellent episode, though part of that is probably due to the "forbidden fruit" aspect of it. I like the dark subject matter and the over-the-top depictions of countercultural "hippies." A good description of the show can be seen here, on the lower half of the page:

However, if you intend to watch the episode, I'd suggest doing so before reading the synopsis. The video quality was fine for me. The imperfection of it seemed fitting in a strange way.
