Oh Hell YES!
That was the shit. I was a kid when the X-Files was on so I cant quite remember, but I think that the X-Files were like CSI, in that each episode was its own story for the most part, while it sort of followed a general story line. The previews for the upcoming shows make it look like its more like Lost/Heroes where the whole show follows a basic storyline, where you had to watch last weeks episode to get this weeks. I really liked it, and I think that the actors did a pretty good job, it didn't feel like any kind of fake acting. I will definitely be watching this show this season. |

Wow. I'm surprised at some of the comments.
I thought the score was awful. Totally derivative. It sounded like a "Pilot", not a series. The story was "okay" but nothing special. What's JJ's fascination with planes? This would have been a C Minus if it had been an X-Files episode. I'll watch again, but if episodes two and three aren't better than the pilot, they'll definitely lose me as a viewer. |

I would have liked JJ to direct the pilot. That was probably my only complaint. If there's anything I learned from LOST, it's that when the creators come in and take over, things change for the better. I do agree with other comments I've read online that the dialogue left a lot to be desired. A lot like Transformers with characters saying stupid things.

I liked the production, camera angles, and first/third person view switching.

I for one didn't really like the Pilot of Lost. It was a good storyline and all, but the acting seemed fake.
I'm not 100% sold on this series yet, but I will definitely be watching the first season. |

I thought Jackson was off. Of course, I knew that was the writing more than anything.

I thought that leap off the roof to the fire escape to ground was some decent stunt for a TV show.
