Children of the Gods

I thought this was a very good pilot. I was impressed with the way all the main characters were slowly introduced and were developed in the 90 minutes. Of course, a pilot's main objective is to 'hook' the audience, and "Children of the Gods" does an excellent job at this. Multiple story lines are introduced which are engaging, and I look forward to how they'll be developed in future episodes. Jack O'Neill looks to be a very good protagonist. I love his sense of humour, and I thought it was refreshing to have a protagonist who didn't know much about all the complicated sci-fi stuff going on - in a way, he kind of represents us, the audience watching, because we don't have any idea about what's going on as well! There were some weaknesses I thought; with some scenes having a bit too much humour, and some scenes were a bit repetitive and drawn out. However, I was impressed overall, especially with the concept of making a TV show which is a direct continuation of a feature film. This was a very ambitious pilot, but one which did the job to hook me into watching more.
