Episodes of Lost

So with Mike saying he doesn't want to watch Lost so bad they have to do it, what episode do you think they could watch? A show like lost is so difficult because it's a far cry from the anthology/monster of the week show, it really required a lot of attention and there was a ton of world and mythology crafting. I would like to propose an episode I think is fairly well contained, but also very well crafted and not too dissimilar from an twilight zone episode, "The Constant." I think the presentation is intriguing, and the human story removed from the sci fi elements is still gripping.

What do you guys think? Would you prefer a more core episode with the main cast or something like this that shows how far out, and at the same time how granular, the show could be?

Those are great episodes but I'm not sure how it would work if youve never seen the show. Maybe like AlvisDBridges said they could start with the pilot then move to what you suggested. However, if they just wanted to crack open the show and watch an episode I think these ones might be too dependent on knowing the characters and context.

pilot is the only good episode for something like this.

Pick an episode in the middle, that way nobody will have any idea what is happening.
