100 Reasons Why Lost is The Greatest TV Show Of All Time
3. S1E1: Pilot One of the most explosive episodes in television history (quite literally), this opening episode thrust into our faces everything that would be great about Lost in the years to come. Mystery, brilliant effects, action and top quality performances. From the opening shot of Jacks eye opening to the concluding revelation that there had been a woman on the Island for 16 years and a monster flying about killing people. Exquisitely directed, visually stunning and packed with enigma this is one of the strongest episodes of any television series designed and you can see why JJ Abrams was snapped up for Blockbuster movies. This was a bold signal of intent for a TV show ready to bring what TV was to a new level as it knitted together everything Lost was about; mystery, energy, character revelations. This was as perfect as an episode of Lost got.
