Day 27 - Best pilot episode:
Supernatural's pilot was a close runner-up for this, since on repeated viewings I do find it's a very solid episode that really sums up the show and has some great lines and moments. But to be honest, the SN pilot did not grip me all that much the first time I saw it, I only thought it was okay, and as a result it took me an unforgivable 3 years or so to come back to the show and give it another shot...
Being Human's pilot, on the other hand, was not only fun and well-written and very representative of the show, like the SN pilot, but immediately gripped me and left me wanting more (which is good since at only 6 episodes, there's not really time to mess around and find its footing!). I think it immediately established the characters, relationships, themes, and tone of the show quite well. I also just love the way it's done, the opening sequence with Annie's voiceover showing how they all "died" and then came to live in the house, combined with that music, is perhaps my favorite opening to a series ever. A wonderful pilot for a wonderful little show! :)
I'm also almost caught up now with Doctor Who, I don't know what I'm going to do with myself after I finish season 5 tonight, lol...besides rewatches...or Torchwood.
