Not being one to break my arm patting myself on the back, I will suffice with a single collar pop, a low key dab, two snaps up, and, to channel FDR, say that, the only thing to be feared was the fear of ones own low exceptions. Now, while it would have been nice to premier with a 90 minute or two hour pilot, I think they bit off just enough of the story to catch us up with Jean-Luc and his apparent fall from grace, followed by his subsequent self imposed exile, give us just a bit of the protagonists story to make it interesting when she finds herself in peril and is "activated", and then, to be relieved when we find out the rest of her genesis. (Although sadly, the catchphrase, "Wonder twin powers....., ACTIVATE!!!, may possibly never be uttered now)
So this was basically a set up episode, just enough to wet our appetites, and let us know that they were happy to stick with what works, and run with what brung ya, that is, great characters and excellent storytelling. So, lets hope they can stay on the narrow path, while at the same time, giving us new insights and adventures to look forward to.
