Los mejores 100 capítulos de todos los tiempos

En su último número, la revista TV Guide publicó una lista de los 100 mejores episodios de programas de televisión americana de todos los tiempos.

La costumbre quiere que este género de listas siempre provoque discusiones: "¿qué hace este episodio 'serie' en cabeza?", "¿por qué X está ausente de la lista?, etc. Pero lo que hay que tener en cuenta es que hay que limitarse a un sólo y único episodio por serie.

El procedimiento es bastante torpe, ya que esto limita la representación de un sólo jugador por equipo para elegir al mejor jugador de fútbol del año. Por lo que tampoco podemos estar de acuerdo con el capítulo escogido y las grandes ausencias. Pero las listas son así, es inevitable.

El capítulo elegido de Lost, se encuentra en el 5to puesto...
