10 Most Important Episodes of 'Lost,' Ranked

You might not necessarily like all of Lost, or you could well reject most of it… but, at the very least, you should have a little by way of begrudging respect for it. It’s now a relic of how network TV was in the past; the ultimate form of what a show could be, at least in terms of how TV was made. Does that make sense? To put it another way, the kind of long-running drama that used to have 20-ish episodes per season, and a season every year… you know, the ones that were about quantity and, if you were lucky, had some focus on quality, too? Lost was as big, ambitious, and wild as that kind of show could be.
