    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Amanda Schull plays Dr. Cassandra Railly. (In the movie Twelve Monkeys, the character was called Dr. Kathryn Railly.) In Greek mythology, Apollo gave Cassandra the power of prophecy in order to seduce her. When she refused him, he added a curse of never being believed. Like her namesake, Dr. Cassandra Railly knows the future, but nobody believes her.
    • Goofs
      About a minute and a half in, as part of a presentation, they show a slide and say it is a scene from Pennsylvania, however the medical vehicles have Kanji characters on the side, i.e. the photo is from either China or Japan.
    • Quotes

      Katrina Jones: Mr. Cole, you are welcome to spend the rest of your life right here on the floor of this cell. That's one option.

      James Cole: What's the other one?

      Katrina Jones: Depends. Do you believe in fate?

      James Cole: Sure... Fate, karma, Santa Claus. I'm very spiritual.

      Katrina Jones: Spirituality is just science we don't understand yet. Call it what you will, but something led you and me to this moment.

      James Cole: For what?

      Katrina Jones: A mission... one for which I believe you were destined.

      James Cole: Who are you?

      Katrina Jones: Jones is my name. You're going to help me change the world, Mr. Cole.

    Seems Interesting!
    This is the first episode of the first season of 12 Monkeys, one of the newest Scy-fy shows. Seeing the movie, I was wondering what to expect in a television remake. If the pilot is any indication, well we might have ourselves a worthy remake. The plot itself may be confusing at times, but I certainly liked the script. As for the acting, it's actually decent. Aaron Stanford plays James Cole differently than Bruce Willis did, but I think it's a good change. Amanda Schell does a fine job as the virologist and I think there is more to her character than what meets the eye.

    In this episode, "Pilot," there was a plague that ravaged the Earth destroying most of humanity. In 2043, James Cole is sent back in time to stop the plague from ever happening. But James must recruit the help of a virologist named Cassandra Railly and they must find a Leland Frost if they have any chance.

    Overall, this was a fun introduction to the series and I am eager to see how this season plays out and the differences that exist between this adaptation and the film. Not a perfect episode, but I was very much entertained.

    My Grade: A-
