This as an amazing pilot. I mean I was a little disappointed that it didn't have an actual villain but Jack McGee made up for that. I also loved the extended run time and the appropriate Pace. The opening dream sequence was sad and emotional, two traits that a Hulk production should have. Most of the beginning was very boring but once Banner turns into the Hulk for the first time you forget all about that and just dive straight into the good stuff. I also loved the gap between Hulk-outs because as good as the smashing is we need to give Banner time to shine. Another great thing about this episode is the amount of Hulk-Outs, they really took advantage of the extended runtime unlike the 2 part episode titled The First. McGee may not have been evil but he doesn't have to be evil to be a good antagonist. He just has to cause problems for the hero, for example he is responsible for the death of Eliana. Before anyone reminds me that his actions were unknowingly comited I know, like I said he is not evil but he is an enemy. It was also interesting seeing the enemy win for once because if McGee hadn't broken into the lab Banner would not have had to fake his death and put his family through all that grief and Eliana did not have to die. Where as McGee got his story printed making him the winner, at least in this episode.
Overall great pilot. Amazing unique touches.
