Hume's Room

I saw a rerun of the first episode of the second season of Lost. It has a brilliant opening.



What's great is the first time you see this, it's a complete mystery. You have no idea who it is, where it is or even when it is. Until the end. You assume it's some flashback off the island. Then you realize--we're in the hatch, and the time is now. The cool thing watching it a second time is to understand exactly what's going on.

It was the most brilliant moment on the show. In fact, it was so amazing that when they basically repeated it for the opening of the third season, it was still utterly wonderful.

I think a lot of people would say the most amazing moment in the show was the end of season three.

While I'm at it, one of the early great moments is the reveal at the end of "Walkabout."
