Kyle XY Ep 101 Review

About
Pilot
A mysterious teenager with no belly button and no memory of his life up until that point, wakes up in a forest outside Seattle, Washington, naked and covered in a slimy pink substance.

The Good?
Matt Dallas is a genius. The way he plays Kyle is flawless. The way he can portray almost what Kyle was thinking just using his face is fantastic. They did a great job casting him. Kyle's imitation of Nicole's gasp is hilarious. Kyle listening to Amanda play was cute. But the best scene of the episode: "Yo! Let's get some juice down here." I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I loved Kyle thinking that the party/being drunk was hell. Kyle kicking the cop's arse is awesome. Kyle and Nicole's conversation at the end was just heartbreaking. And then the families acceptance of Kyle at the end, awwwww...

The Bad?
I'm not too sure about the voice overs for the time being. While they are helpful for explaining Kyle's thoughts, some aren't necessary. And once Kyle knows how to talk, they really won't be necessary at all...

The Ugly?
Nothing struck me as being particularly horrible.

Speculation
I have seen all of season one, and bits and pieces of season two, so I know some of what is going to happen.

There's still the question of the who the girl on the news was (at around 14mins the news is showing a girl who washed up on shore with no memory of how she got there. Sound familiar much?)

Overall
I really liked this episode, there are a lot of memorable moments and a really good way to start off the show. I think I'm definitely going to enjoy this show!
