I wasn't blown away by this episode, but then I wasn't blown away by the pilot for Fringe, and that ended up being one of my favorite sci-fi shows ever. Sometimes the shows with the most entertaining pilots are heavy on concept and light on a lasting structure. Finding a balance between a monster-of-the-week formula and the larger plot arcs will be what will make it work. I'm not really a comic book fan (seen the Avengers and associated movies, but that's about it) so I felt like this episode was slogging through a bit of baggage. I do worry that a team of six is too big for good storytelling, especially early on.
