Well obviously. It's just one of those things that look cool until you wonder what the point of it is.
And as far as the cast goes, re:
Judge Death... they're getting the job done. I can buy Erik Knudsen as some socially inept technical wiz (is it just me or does he look kinda like Frankie Muniz?), I can buy Victor Webster as the male rugged cop guy probable romantic lead, and Rachel Nichols is solid as the ass-kicking future cop. They're recognizable TV types, executed pretty well.
I suppose the only weak link this episode for me cast-wise was Omari Newton, who got just a
little hammy in his self-satisfied explanation to Kiera what was going on.
But again, this really was a pretty good start. It could be the best sci-fi pilot I've seen since Caprica, to be honest... not that that is a competitive field.
