Hmm, thats a tough one. There's alot of really good ones, but the Opening Gambits to "Pilot" "The Golden Triangle" and "The Gauntlet" are a few of my favorites.

My favorite opening Gambit is the one in the Gauntlet. I could be wrong. but I believe that there were only a few opening gambits in the entire series.

Default The Gauntlet

I'd probably be inclined to pick the opening gambit from "The Gauntlet" as my favorite, though all of them are really cool, particularly the whole James Bond thing going on in "Deathlock" or even the very start of the show in the pilot episode.

By the way, most people seemed to pick "The Gauntlet" and the SCI-FI Channel magazine agrees with you. In a 2000 issue, it named that scene as one of the top 50 sci-fi moments in TV and movie history.
