Walker - Episode 1x01 - Brave New World

What a piece of rubbish...

Is what a complete idiot would say! Adam, I think most would assume that you were nervous as to how much people would like this first episode of your first ever series. I for one thought that it was better then most pilots here on MZP!!

Something that I nomally hate in a script is something that happened in this one, which was no act breaks. I rate them alongside long, extended finales. There is always that difficulty with keeping someone like me sucked into the script the entire time throughout. Amazingly enough, I was sucked in and waiting to see what would happen next consistently and I'm not even sure that I could say there was one boring scene in the whole shabang. It was just that good.

Our group as a whole is great. We have one Knight, a guy to look after our Knight, a vampire, and an agent with MI:16. What a group. I wonder if any conflict with arouse between the four, although, they seem like very well-rounded characters, perfectly capable of getting along.

Alec is interesting, especially as our Knight. With him, I'm interested to see how often he will push himself beyond his limit. I mean, he did it two or three times in just this episode alone. It'll be interesting to see how he continues to recover from occurences like this, looking near dead, and how Jackson will look after him.

Speaking of Jackson... He might just be my favorite character of our core four. He appears somewhat laid back, like in the menu scene, but at the same time, when it's time for action, he is ready and more kick ass then ever. He is definitely one of the more humorouse of the bunch and how he acted with the menu scene might have just made that scene my favorite of the episode. I'm looking forward to see how Jackson developes.

Then we have Chloe. We start out with this mysterious girl, apparently on a job hunt, discover that she is really working on the inside, undercover for MI:16, and then she eventually joins up with our group to help with their new missions and such. She is the only woman out of our four, but she appears well-trained, definitely kick ass, and smart. I will be interested to see how she adaptsto helping our team though.

Finally, we got Boone, the vampire of our four. Amazingly enough, I didn't realize it was possible for a vampire to be able to control bloodlust as much as Boone does. He can unleash it, but then calm down and get over it just as fast... at least as far as we can tell. I get the feeling this bloodlust may eventually cause our group a problem, although I truly hope it doesn't.

All in all, a great pilot episode, Adam. This series has the potential to be truly kick ass. But based on your normal, amazing quality of scripts, Adam, I'm sure you have absolutely nothing to worry about!

Also, way to shamelessly promote Schism: Black Dragon at the end there!
