No wonder this series caught so many viewers the first time around. To see a virile Maurice leap from the rooftop when Joel first drove up or to hear Ruth Ann ask "What's a bagel?" to the cocky NYC Joel was worth the wait. Seeing a short-haired Ed, a grizzled Holling, and a very, very angry Joel made me realize once again how these characters grow on you.

I'd never been sure how Joel or Maurice actually got to Cicely or how Marilyn came to work for Joel. It was great to see the pilot after viewing so many of the later episodes. The best part is the beginning of our beloved Northern Exposure. It's almost as if this betrayal between friends and lovers is as fundamental to the show as the good doctor's despair and fascination with his surroundings. Another of the shows most basic storylines, the love triangle of Maurice and Holling and Shelley, is well established. Yet the humor is tempered by compassion as the new physician gives up his frustration (albeit temporarily) to treat and counsel patients. The new doctor's desire to leave is encapsulated in a nearly spasmodic seven-mile run into town. Joel's overwhelming disgust for his surroundings and intense desire to leave is unmistakable, and, well, hilarious. Maggie and Joel's instantaneous hostility is hilariously apparent, while the tension between Joel, the hired doctor, and Maurice, the rich boss, is also established. All the initial gears and cogs and bolts and belts of the series are set spinning in this first episode as characterizations are strongly, cleanly and cleverly introduced. The basis for the series: Joel's journey to and eventual displacement within the mighty state of Alaska.
