I just now saw the pilot episode and I gotta tell you it was really great. Normally I get mixed up when a show slips in and out of flashbacks, but Syd's hair color made that easier to keep track of. Dang! So much happens in this episode alone! But hey, a good pilot IS important for a show to take off, isn't it?
"Get a pen. Write this down. E, M, E, T, I, B. Now reverse it." If that's not a classic, it should be.
