So what did you guys think? I haven't had time to watch it yet, had some stuff going on last night, but i made sure to tivo it....

I thought it was good, but it seemed rushed. There was way too much going on to cram into one hour, and they could have developed some of it more with a longer show or two separate episodes. The fast pace also made some of his tasks seem unrealistically easy to accomplish (which I know is an ironic complaint about a science fiction show).

It will be interesting to see if they gloss over these major plot points in the next episode. My guess, and hope, is that they won't because the overall premise of the show is already established.

It does make me miss Quantum Leap, though.

Finally got around to watching it last night and I enjoyed it quite a bit. A lot of people were saying it was confusing, but I didn't really find it that difficult to follow. There were a few parts where I wasn't sure if he was still in the past or back in present time... I think when he picked up the phone and called his brother for the guy [Neil?]'s address was the only time that I was a little confused at first about what period of time he was in.

But I enjoyed the show and I'll prolly keep setting the Tivo to record it. There's nothing else on in that time slot to watch anyways.
