Riot aims to bridge two kinds of first-person shooter subgenres into a definitive vision. The hype that Valorant is generating is palpable, even through the light criticism.

For one thing, Valor is late to the party; NBC already launched The Brave and CBS SEAL Team , meaning The CW is entering into a marketplace that may already be saturated with military dramas. And Valor is airing the same night as The Brave , which even with the lead-in of Supergirl might not be a match for NBC's The Voice in terms of bringing in viewers. There's a good chance those who are looking forward to seeing the Girl of Steel return for season 3 will stick around for the premiere of Valor , after all, it also features a strong female lead with Christina Ochoa, who was most recently seen in SYFY's one-and-done grindhouse series Blood Drive .

The two leave behind one of their team members, Jimmy Kam (W. Tre' Davis), who falls into the hands of a group of terrorists.

There's some genuine intrigue with regard to the man Nora and Gallow left behind, and the show even generates interest in getting Nora back in the cockpit. But the pilot continues to add elements that the story's mostly solid foundation just isn't equipped to handle. Valor attempts to blend its military storyline and conspiracy with a half-baked psychological drama that's further complicated by Nora and Gallo's torrid love affair that has them keeping yet another secret, this time from her boyfriend Ian (Charlie Barnett). All the secret-keeping works to generate intrigue at first glance, but without the audience really knowing who these characters are or why they should care about them, the intrigue is quickly proven to be fairly shal<br>

"We have another major update planned for March and future content arriving throughout 2012 and 2013.
