BW tried too hard to cram in as much character background relationship info as it could in the first 10 minutes; almost every line was spoken to inform the viewers of a particular fact, and there was very little "real" interaction between the characters. The acting was a bit stiff, mostly I think because of the expository dialog. Miguel Ferrer was the only actor who really seemed to have brought his A game, tho. I think the pilot could have used about another 1/2 hour, to give the show a little more room to breath around the establishing of all the sci-fi/conspiracy elements. Still, interesting premise, and hopefully now that they've set some things up, they can slow things down a bit and give the actors a little more opportunity to behave like real people.One nit-pick: why does a person with two bionic eyes need a scope on their sniper rifle? (Especially when it's established a few seconds later that the bionic eye is telescopic?)Journeyman, even though the time-jumping started almost immediately, had much more fleshed out characters, and really only introduced hints of a more complicated plot well into the second act. I would compare the first episode favorably to "Quantum Leap", but I suspect Journeyman will develop a deeper mythology and character development. I fear, however, that it may not have quite enough "wow" to build an audience, however.</blockquote>
