It was your average episode of X-Files with a outrageous mythology that also hard to believe.
Anna Torv character did not intrigue me. NOT AT ALL. I actually wanted her to die, where Abrams would turn this around and surprise us. It's like when Jack was suppose to die on the pilot of Lost.
Joshua Jackson character was somewhat interesting. His dad, played by John Noble, was refreshing as the show was progressing.
The minor characters where cool.
As for the story, it was really hard to like it. But I guess I'll still watch it, I feel like this is going to turn into Heroes. I'll be disappointed when all is said and done.
