The most anticipated pilot of the season was good, not great. While I was intrigued by the concept and found the performances, especially that of John Noble as Dr. Walter Bishop surprisingly good, it was the overwrought dialogue and ridiculous amount of obvious set-up that held the pilot back from its potential. I expected better from the otherwise flawless (with the exception of Alias Season 4) Abrams, but quite frankly am not surprised given the track record of Orci and Kurtzman. It was certainly no X-Files as promised, nor was it even in the realm of the Lost or Alias pilots, but I am stilling holding out hope that it may build from here.
