This whole episode was such a ride. I was smiling the whole time, minus THAT one part care of chopper and his dad. PondPhuwin's scenes were really done great. I love how their proximity here is a little better than the previous episode, hence my favorite episode so far.
I expected a lot from this series and the first episode delivered it. It wasn't something spectacular in a way but enough to have you anticipating the next episode. Overall a strong pilot and I can't wait for the next ep.
