Of Pilots & Series Finales

FAVORITE PILOT: MillenniuM's "Pilot"

In my opinion, MillenniuM has without doubt one of the best--if not arguably THE best--pilot episode of any television show. Of course, Millennium's "Pilot" benefited from Chris Carter's clout at Fox due to the halcyon days of the The X-Files, which is an advantage that few pilot episode production teams enjoy. On the other hand, such a premiere episode can act as a two-edged sword that may set an impossibly high standard for the series that follows.

FAVORITE SERIES FINALE: Star Trek: The Next Generation's "All Good Things"

M*A*S*H may be the highest rated series finale of all time, but Star Trek: TNG's "All Good Things" is a rare example of a series saving its best for last. Although the Star Trek franchise as a whole has experienced huge swings in quality between series, episodes, and movies, "All Good Things" is good enough to make Trekkies cool, which is saying a lot. This series finale also serves as a strong reminder to other series to quit while they're on top.

I totally agree with Forza, the best pilot was Millennium and the best finale was Star Trek: The Next Generation.
