* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The pilot is ''much'' darker than most of the series following. We open with Zordrak ''killing'' one of his mooks. Also while the Urpneys still get lots of SympatheticPOV, the focus is more primarily on Rufus and his CharacterDevelopment, with the heroes presented as more fallible equals to the villains.
