Review
As pilot episodes go, this one qas quite impressive.
It gave a pretty good introduction and really sold the
show. Or perhaps the show is just great anyway. The
important point is it did the important job of getting
me hucked :).
Marks for character introductions, not too bad. Most
of the main characters are pretty clear, although I
did have a quick introduction from Fox's extensive one
page site.
The show is looking pretty promising, if they can keep
up this standard of television for the length of the
show.

Kirsten: Look Ryan, I don't mean to play bad cop. It's
nothing personal. Is that bacon?
Ryan: So - gotta jet
Seth: Cool. Eor, not cool
