Walk, don't run. It ain't that hot...

They really tried to do too much in too little time. Should've had a 2 hr premiere to be able to do that much world building. I see some obstacles their gonna have to hurdle (I can't stop the runner puns!) in the future if they want this show to work. Namely, they're gonna have to find a way to stage their battles to be more compelling than this one ended up. I feel like the scope that's needed might be too big for television. Though who knows, the middle confrontation was headed in the right direction, until they just gave up on it.

I hope now that they kind of established everyone's base motivations, they can just move on to making these characters seem like real human beings instead of cliched tropes.
