Battlestar Galactica, "33"

Just factoring in when it came out (i.e. before this era of prestige TV) as well as the budgetary limitations of the network that released it (SyFy), it's remarkable how good of an episode it was. And it still holds up today as one of the best in scifi.

Tough call between the pilot and the first(?) season finale, that ends with >!Adama shot on the bridge!<

That first season was so good. I was not a fan of the rest of the series, but that first season was pretty much as good of a first season as a scifi series has had.
