And I don't feel that way. I've honestly never found a pilot episode that wasn't crap. Even my favorite shows (Like Gekiranger, OOO, MLP, or Teen Titans) had bad pilots (And, in Teen Titans's case, a bad first season ).

I understand why you feel that way, but the mantra of "It gets better later" is universally true since, by watching one episode, I really feel you're watching the worst episode any given show can produce.

Although they usually do have to cram a lot in that isn't to say the opening episode of every series ever is terrible, there are lots of great ones.

I think if nothing in the opening episode interests me then I have no reason to watch any more. If I found at least one thing I enjoyed then that would be reason enough but alas...

And yes I totally appreciate and understand that it may go on to be my favourite series ever. But you know what I can do in the time of twenty episodes? A whole lot of fucking things.

And when I remember that, it doesn't seem worth wasting my time on a series I am half in at, when I could go now and watch the opening episode of another series love every moment, watch twenty episodes of that and love it from that very first episode.
