What the hell is wrong with people? It's only the first episode. They have to set up the story and introduce characters; of course it's going to be a little slow. I honestly can't remember a pilot/first episode of anything not being a little shitty. Even so, it felt a lot like the movies, and although the music and visuals aren't quite as mind-warping, it's still gorgeous. Just remember, movie budget > TV show budget. In any case, I'm looking forward to Sunday nights now.

A big part of why everything is so shitty nowadays is because they could serve up absolute perfection and yall would still bitch about it.
