BSG and Lost had some major hype-scenes during their runs. Which reminds me to give Lost a re-watch, havent seen it since its initial run, I wonder if it held up. Also wonder how it is to see it without the season breaks in between, hehe
This, after all the build up, the release in that episode was just too much. What a perfect season of television.
For real, if you're counting events of significance and not just moments from scripted shows, there can be no other answer than the moon landing.
What else comes even remotely close?

Pegasus vs Galactica might be it for me. BSG wouldn't even make my top ten shows ever list but that mid season two finale was fucking riveting and the definition of hype.
This is probably my personal favorite moment
And this just because of the cameos
Also "Hello old friend"

To me it was the CERN communication of the live event for Brout-Englert-Higgs boson results from Atlas and CMS experiments.

Advancing knowledge result gives written public statement
This was live worldwide event following preliminary very encouraging results ;)

Kirk Gibson with busted ass legs hitting the walk off home run to win the game with the Dodgers down 1 with 2 outs left in the bottom of the 9th of the 1st game in 1988 World Series.
You could hear all of LA from their homes cheering. Shit was wild.

There was so much speculation during the break, I remember buying a TV guide magazine because they revealed what was inside that hatch.
The only way this would have been better was if no one knew Capaldi was already signed up.
But yeah, this was an incredible moment.
Keeping the theme of Battlestar going, for me it's the All Along The Watchtower moment and the season-long buildup... but it's massive, huge spoilers for a pivotal moment in the show:
As much as I love that, this might be it. I remember watching this live (well, "live" a week after it was filmed), and even though the results were spoiled earlier that night, we all lost our shit when the glass broke.
As hype as it was, the identities of the Final Four felt like they just threw darts at a board. The previous eight at least made sense and were built up to.
These posts make me very happy. I would go with the second, but Galactica x Pegasus was incredible. I always wondered what would be of the fleet if Cain won.
BSG was absolutely incredible.
Yep. They nailed it, completely.
Alternative answer: The build-up to the Master returning in Utopia. We all saw it coming, but what a pay-off!
Also, For All Mankind's fuel catch at the last episode was incredible. It's definitely one of the heighest Sci-Fi moments in the last years.

Having recently rewatched Lost, it hasn't hold up as well as I remembered. It's a very bloated show compared to BSG's much tighter pacing.
But that Season 2 opening is still amazing.
