Bixby's and Ferigno's earnest performances are quite compelling and make it real. I was a child when this was first run, but even now, I find this quite convincing.
David's fateful experiment zapping himself with gamma radiation is well set up, as is why it went so badly wrong, an altered but uncalibrated control. I presume that prop is a real medical device made to deliver radiation, but either way, it's great.
The scene where David and Eliana attempt to experimentally recreate David's Hulk out is just superb. Elaina recording of the situation to tape works brilliantly. It's all so very ominous as the Hulk attempts to escape the tank and Elaina's voice drops to a whisper when she realizes he's going to.
This pilot is easily feature film quality.
