The action scenes are simply eye candy with very little motivation behind them (again, I'm reminded of the lightsaber fights in the 'Star Wars' prequels). This would be forgivable if the characters had layers to their personalities rather than subscribing to purely-Jedi-or-purely-Sith dialogue. Where this pilot does wrong, in my opinion, is fall victim to "George Lucas Disease." GLD is when we're given a very loose storyline with almost no character build or occurrences which make us give a rat's ass ('Star Wars: Episode 1,' take a bow, please.) After a very strong opening to this pilot, we're thrust several years into the future and simply told in a straightforward fashion who the good guys are, who the bad guys are, and how terrible the world has become without electronics. With this in mind, I was expecting a storyline which blends an unbelievable plot with well-rounded characters, a slow-building plot, and a cliffhanger ending which leaves us worrying for the characters mental and physical well-being. I watched the pilot episode because I'm an Eric Kripke fan (and a long-term "Supernatural" fan boy, admittedly).
