I think that "Kings" has started with the best pilot episode since "Fringe" late in 2008. I do think that the two-hour episode was much needed in order to really draw me into the show and this is one show that I will be watching in the weeks to come. I think this pilot shows a lot of promise for the show. The show isn't going to come out and blow your mind with action every week. This is a show that is going to be good based on the quality of its characters and right now I don't think I've seen such a well put together cast since "Lost" and "Six Feet Under". I think this show has potential to be in my top five when its all said and done.

What Worries Me --> Only 6 million viewers for the opening episode in a very tough Sunday night timeslot. NBC has promted this show terribly. Outside of seeing 2-3 previews on an epsiode of Heroes, nothing. Nothing on any other station, newspaper, magazine. I think this show has a lot of promise and I would hate to see it get cancelled after only a couple of episodes. It is a big BIG budget show and it needs to perform better then it did opening night in order to really have a chance of surviving.

Main Idea (Two Main Characters, Plot Spoilers) --> I love the main idea of the show. A modern day country that is rules by a King. The King keeps notes on a blackberry looking device that he can get access too later. The King himself is a very good actor. On the surface he seems like the most powerful man in this kingdom, however, behind the scenes there is a man who is controlling all of the money in the kingdom and if the kind chooses to cross this man he is going to destory everything that the king has accomplished. We got right into this aspect of the show in this epsiode when the man (brother in law to the king) told him that he wanted to continue the war.

David is a great lead character too. I think that was the aspect I loved the most about the show. Two big stars will be able to carry this show into something really great I think. I do like David more then the king, but they are both great characters. The beginning scene kind of set up the episode well, but at the same time the two year jump seemed pretty quick and I don't think they are ever going to go back to the last two years. I think there are a lot of good stories that could have been told in those two years, but I think I will grow to accept such a huge gap right there at the beginning of the show.
