This is awsome. I hope it holds its viewers!

I hope so too. From what I have heard, the impressions people have had about the pilot episode have been very mixed. It seems many had the same impression as I did, that it wasn’t a great episode, but it did enough of a job to wet our appetites and excite us about what “could” happen.
The key is that during the next few episodes they need to actually take advantage of the cool world they’ve created, rather than just glance over it.
