Kolchak: The Night Stalker - Episode 1.4 The Vampire
X files Season 3 Episode 4 Clyde Bruckmans Final Repose
The Orville S1E5 - Pria
The Walking Dead S5E1
Love, Death + Robots S1E14 Zima Blue
Batman "A Piece Of The Action"
The Storyteller, episode 7: The Soldier and Death. If you've seen it, you won't forget it. Amazing work by the Henson team.
The Expanse - S02 E02 - Doors and Corners Ship battle scene, political tension, hints at what's happened and what's to come but doesn't spoil the show's paradigm shift, Miller's cold-ass final scene.
WKRP in Cincinnati (Season 1, Episode 7) "Turkeys Away"
Red Dwarf Season 5 Episode 6 Back to Reality.
Season one episode one the pilot episode of “nowhere man“ 1995 Bruce Greenwood directed by Tobey Hooper
The X-Files S7 E21 - Je Souhaite - A standalone episode. Je Souhaite is French for "I Wish".
The Outer Limits Season 1 episode 14 Quality of Mercy. Bonus you get a Star Trek actress you haven't met yet Nicole De Boer
HBO's "Rome", S1E1, introduces all the characters, but the following episodes are much more interesting.
Babylon 5 - s1e1 Midnight on the Firing Line.
The X-Files "Bad Blood" S5 E12
Westworld S01E01
Black Mirror-"USS Callister" Season 4, Episode 1 ..cuz..why not
Mary Tyler Moore Show 6x7 “Chuckles Bites the Dust” considered one of the funniest tv episodes of the 20th Century.
Seaquest DSV, pilot episode “To be or not to be”. Superficially TNG underwater. Great cast (Recommend season 1 only if you decide you like it ! lol)
Sherlock, Study in Pink (season 1, ep 1) with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. Created by Steven Moffat.
EP S1.11 The Trickster with guest stars Mark Hamill (Star Wars), Joyce Hyser (Just One Of The Guys) & Gloria Reuben (ER, Timecop) of The Flash (1990), starring John Wesley Shipp (The Flash 2014... as the same character) as Barry Allen/the Flash, Amanda Pays (Max Headroom) & Alex Désert (Simpsons, Becker). Hamill is an insane magician who wreaks havoc throughout Central City as the maniacally clever Trickster. One of my favorite, mostly unseen series. Mark Hamill reprised the role of James Jesse/The Trickster 24 years later in the 2014 Flash episode "Tricksters".
Just to be clear, is this The Flash (1990) EP S1.11 ?
The Greatest American Hero S1E1 “The Greatest American Hero” (pilot - 1981)
Fringe Season 1 Episode 4 The Arrival. It's early enough to make sense after the pilot and not spoil much of anything out of context, effectively shows off the three main characters with emphasis on the relationship between Peter and Walter, and acts as an introduction to some of the more fascinating parts of the mythology.
Hill Street Blues episode 1 “Hill Street Station”
Castle S 5 Ep 6 "Final Frontier" please voters before you dismiss this because you have never watched Castle, just do a search of this ep and read the description and you will see why I put this up for selection.
"Nightcrawlers" from The Twilight Zone (1985)
Here is a non-scifi show. M*A*S*H season 11 episode 16 Goodbye, Farewell and Amen. It's the last episode of the entire show but it's IMO the best one and you really don't have to watch any of the show to love it. :) It's longer than a regular episode because it's the last one but it's totally worth it. I hope folks agree. :)
Ya'll know I'm gonna say it LOL. BSG season 3 episode 16 Dirty Hands. It's a great one. :)
Episode 1 of HBO's Spawn series
Farscape Season 2 Episode 9: Out Of Their Minds
Out Limits original series Wolf 359. Season 2 episode 8?
Farscape “Crackers Don’t Matter” season 2 Episode 4
Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot (1hr.)
Stranger Things Season 1 Episode 1: Chapter 1 (49 min.)
We’ve both seen Stranger Things
Babylon 5 Passing Thru Gethsemane. It can be watched as a somewhat standalone episode (as much as any B5 episode can be considered standalone) and it does a great job of showing B5's balanced and powerfully dramatic portrayal of societal issues, religion, etc. This was a close second last poll. Please “like” and let’s get it over the top this time!
That episode has MY vote too.
Grimm Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot (43 min)
The X-Files Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot (48 min.)
Have they seen it? Man, that'd be the perfect non ST show for them.
Columbo season 1 episode 3: Murder by the Book
I was going to suggest a different Columbo, but I don’t want to split the vote.
The Wire S1E1
Stargate SG-1 S01E11 "Torment of Tantalus". It's a high quality taste of SG1, early on so easy to follow, dramatic, deals with the unique quirks of the setting. I love this episode, for standing on its own merits and leaving you wanting more. It's not my personal favorite but those ones are better for those more entrenched in the series.
Good pick.
The West Wing S02E22 "Two Cathedrals"
I don’t want to split The West Wing vote so I’ll just mention another great one, maybe for a future poll. S1E10, “In Exelsis Deo”.
The Expanse, season 3 episode 6.
Scrubs S1 E1 because why not more Dr. Stubbs?
Dr scrubs
Star Wars Rebels S1 E1
Gargoyles season 1 episode 8 “Deadly Force”
