Besides it's never a good idea to judge something from the pilot- or quasi-pilot episode in this case.

In some cases the producers havn't fully figured things out by that point (just look at the Babylon 5 pilot "The Gathering"...) or they put especially much effort into it, so they can get a good initial "catch" of viewers.

Better to judge only after seeing several episodes.
