SEE YOU IN ANOTHER LIFE, BROTHER: The AV Club's, Time Magazine's, EW's and Alan Sepinwall's (see also this addendum in the comments) recent lists of the Best Television Episodes of 2008 suggest that we ought to open up our own decision of the same for awards consideration.
For me, it's not even a question -- though to be fair I didn't watch The Shield or The Wire, making me a bad citizen. On February 28, 2008, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse treated us to a time-traveling episode of Lost that demonstrated, conclusively, that they knew where the show was going, knew that Desmond/Penny were ten times more interesting than Jack/Kate/Sawyer, and still knew how -- as Poniewozik put it -- to craft an episode that "rips your heart out while it ties your brain in a knot."
Really, what was better on tv in 2008 than "The Constant"?
