Pilots are just a proof of concept and not really needed. I'm trying to think of some super bad ones. They're out there.

The Babylon 5 pilot was execrable. If I had seen that first, I would never have watched the series. But, on the other side of things, the Global Frequency pilot was the loving tits but never got picked up.

On pilot talks, the first episode of HBOs Barry is a master class in pilot writing. It introduces everyone and the major points and stakes quickly, efficiently, and it's funny.

I do like that any time they flash back to the early years of Brock being Rusty's bodyguard, he's the quiet, tense killing machine Brock instead of the mellower upbeat Brock of today.

The pilot is the only time we actively get to see Dr. Venture being disgraced in front of the science community as well as seeing him profit from the whole super science thing. After a while the series tends to forget that despite Rusty being a failure and mostly riding on his father's coattails, he is still a super scientist. Other than that, it's fine, just all the characters are less developed. Brock's more savage, Hank and Dean are more childishly innocent, and a dude masturbating as a plot point is a bit lower than the show normally goes.

My favorite commentary is them keep spoiling that 24 dies and they state if you are mad that we spoiled it for you, WHY the hell did you pick our commentary before watching the episodes. I lost count how many times I did a VB marathon. Watching the old episodes of season 1, Hank and Dean are really stupid, which makes me admire their growth through the seasons as Hank develops to be more street smart and genre savy (seriously that episode where he shows SPHINx how good he is at the undercover operative was amazing )and Dean not wanting to be like his father at all.

kefkafloyd posted:I'm kinda feeling the same way too. This show's been on since 2004. I still enjoy it and think it's really funny, but it's probably time for things to wrap up. I watched some of the commentary for the first time when I was rewatching the earlier seasons and they are dropping unironic MySpace and Livejournal references. In a later season so much time has passed that they have a joke about how Doc Hammer is now the last person on Myspace. It's been almost ten years since that.
