Crisis - Pilot Recap

Though I didn't get to attend the screening of the pilot episode of Crisis on the big screen, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it Sunday on my own tv! I initially thought it would be more like a Law & Order show with different crimes each week, but it's more like one of my other favorite shows, The Event (hope I didn't just jinx it with the 1 season bug!). So I look forward to how this story line develops.

I also like how they presented a character that a predictable show would have made the villain immediately, but made him a victim and later possible hero. AND THEN...they made him the villain!!! It was awesome!! Yes, I said AWESOME! LOL.

I am so excited for this show, because shows like this allow for each character and story line to develop into something that will keep the viewer on their toes (think Scandal). They already dropped some bombs on us. FBI agent who's niece is one of the kidnapped children is really her mother. Father who is a chaperon took the blame for some type of horrible incident that led to several deaths to protect his daughter who was threatened by a sniper hired by his best friend on her birthday. He was characterized as a disappointment and weak, and now he seems to be the brains of the operation. What's the significance of the one child that got away with Agent Finley (Lance...moment of silence for his fineness, lol)? The villains really want him. All the children are children of people with a lot of power, and the bad guys are calling them up with instructions they must follow to save their kids.

So who's in on it? Who's going to turn on the others to try to save their own (and likely fail)? What's the dirt/background that's eventually going to be revealed on Agent Finley?

I can't wait for the next episode!!!
