Superman as a character has been the focus of a lot of live action TV shows with one still airing as we speak. However there hasn't been a live action TV show that's based upon Superman's home world of Krypton well then that all changed in the year of 2018 when the first episode of a new TV show aired and so then join me as I review the first episode of the show that explores Superman's home world with the show being called Krypton and the episode itself being called simply just "Pilot" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is in all honesty rather hard to describe since there's not really a plot to speak of what so ever. Which would be a huge red flag for me personally but given that this is only the pilot episode it makes sense that there isn't much of a plot in this episode since this episode is alot more focused on setting up the world and it's characters but it still would have been nice to see some sort of a plot in this episode tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is Cameron Cuffe as Seg-El , Georgina Campbell as Lyta-Zod and Shaun Sipos as Adam Strange. Also starring in this episode is Elliot Cowan as Daron-Vex , Ann Ogbomo as Jayna-Zod , Aaron Pierre as Dev-Em , Rasmus Hardiker as Kem , Wallis Day as Nyssa-Vex , Blake Ritson as Brainiac/ The Voice Of Rao , Ian McElhinney as Val-El , Paula Malcomson as Charys-El and Rupert Graves as Ter-El.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in his very episode was in all honesty OK at best. This is because this episodes script gives this episodes cast nothing to work with and so they can only do so much to make this episodes script work well enough for them in their favour in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Doing the CGI for this episode and I assume the rest of the series is BUF , DNegTV and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Rodeo FX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad espically for something that was created in a SYFY Channel budget in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
This episode really does shove Superman in your face which is understandable for this show however this episode doesn't go that long without brining him up. Which is a bit much and it is something that does get a little annoying and it is something that takes away from the main characters since it doesn't allow us to get to know these characters since all their doing is shoving Superman down our throats in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
I have to admit that the idea of someone destroying various planets just to make sure that Superman isn't even born is a good idea. However at the exact same time tho this episode really doesn't do all that much in setting up that idea other then just straight up saying that's what there going to be doing and that's such a shame because there's so much that you could do with this idea if it's something that's properly explored in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
I do like the idea of exploring the planets politics since that is something that we genuinely haven't seen in a live action adaptation of Superman. However instead of going the Game Of Thrones route this show plays it safe which isn't that interesting since it makes those scenes all the more boring and it makes the world feel alot more smaller then what it actually is and I get not going that much into the politics of this world in the first episode but when your whole basic premise is built around showing us what life was like on this planet before it blows and then not delivering on that premise in a satisfactory way then you have a huge problem on your hands in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty three minuets and six seconds. Which for an episode like this one is such a short amount of time since this episode really should have been a feature length episode which then would have allowed for the show and for the episodes storyline to be fully developed and it would have allowed for the shows characters to comes as alot more three dimensional but as it is alot of scenes get rushed because of the fact that they have to hit the next plot point and that's not a good thing at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then since there is some action in this episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Which granted isn't really saying all that much since we don't get alot of action in this episode but what little action that we did get was really good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this was a decent first episode to this show since it did a somewhat decent job of setting up this shows main storyline however it forgot to have an actual story in this first episode which made this episode feel boring and unneeded at times in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Krypton fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Krypton fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Krypton fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.
