It's great if a pilot starts off great and if it doesn't…

“It's great if a pilot starts off great and if it doesn't start off so great it's not that big a deal: everybody's baby is born ugly. But you want to know, if given the opportunity: Where are we going? What's the story we're trying to tell?” quote by Timothy Olyphant
