Best First (or Pilot) Episode?
Discussion
In the recent "Breaking Bad" thread, someone suggested that the first episode of that show was the best ever start to a TV show. I haven't seen it yet, so I couldn't agree or disagree, but for me, the best first episode of any TV programme I've seen was Lost. Plane crashing, mystery, spooky stuff going on in the jungle & loads more I can't remember. Despite what happened to the show in later seasons, that first episode was fantastic.
That's mine, so what's yours?

Always a difficult one as if you don't like the genre/concept of the show then even the "best" pilot in the world is not going to be "good" to you
For me personally, and it's not a normal pilot I suppose in that it was a 3hr behemoth but I'd have to agree with the previous poster's vote for Battlestar Galactica. Probably my favourite before that came along would have been the Buffy pilot, and while the show is definitely even more of a niche series I thought the pilot for Supernatural was pretty damn great

Battlestar Galactica or Firefly for me
Yep. The two best shows of the last decade. Firefly's feature length opener was fantastic...and Serenity made a great feature to complete the story. Shame they didn't get more seasons. There were plenty of stories to be told in that 'verse. Of recent shows Person of Interest started really well.
