CSI meets The X Files

Just caught the pilot episode tonight. It was pretty good for a scifi/drama.

The acting was decent, the direction was top-notch and the special effect were pretty good. I was really caught up in the story line and on the edge of my seat for MOST of the show... however, there are few scenes that could have done with a bit of editing and some of the dialog was straight from the "how-to write a script, for dummies" hand book!

Overall the suspense and mystery carried the story along and I'm looking forward to seeing more episodes this fall. The audience for this show won't be on the fringe for long!

Cheers,

Betty
