Star-Crossed: Pilot (2014)
Best pilot I've watched
This was the best pilot episode of any show I've ever watched. I was entirely hooked on it from the start. It has my two favorite things - sci-fi and romance - in a perfect blend. This first episode evoked so many emotions in me. It is the first time that the whole week that I had to wait for the next episode seemed so long! There really wasn't any part of it that I didn't love. In the first few minutes when Emery saves Roman by bringing him a blanket and then giving him spaghetti to eat was so touching that it brought tears to my eyes. When the Atrian 7 arrive at the school and the protesters are out there, it was a reminder to us all of what it was like for African Americans. It reminds us that prejudice is an ugly thing! When I watched this with my daughter we ended up having a conversation about racism and integration.

Love the Atrian culture
In this episode, we see some of the Atrian rituals around death. It is so interesting that they grow cyper on the bodies. I loved learning more about the Atrian culture. There were again some very emotional moments in this episode with Emery wanting to comfort Roman but Roman being conflicted with his desire to protect Emery while dealing with his father's death. I was just as taken with this episode as I was with the first one and just fell deeper in love with the show. Each moment and each scene had something new and interesting. In this episode with Roman finding out he has to avoid Emery in order to protect her and Grayson getting close to her, things really start to get interesting! We also see the beginning of Drake & Taylor's flirting! A cute interaction when he arrives at the carnival! Also very touching when the little girl at the carnival gives Teri a bracelet! Children showing adults how to welcome the Atrians. Loved it!
