Great cast in this pilot when you include Jorge Garcia and Audra MacDonald! Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.
Sounds OK for a movie plot, but a TV show? There has to be more to the series than a brother protecting his sister from being killed. That would get boring real quick.
Great cast, Zot.
