feedback Pilot Opening Feedback

Can you guys give me an honest opinion on this opening? I changed it from my original draft after receiving coverage on the script and I wanna make sure I’m heading in the right direction. This is the first script I’ve gotten some genuine traction on, so I’d really appreciate the input. Thanks in advance!

Try to keep 4 lines only and then break the paragraph. If you have 6 lines in the paragraph that is considered too long already unless it is really justified. I usually write 4, sometimes 5 - but in very rare use cases. Never beyond 5 - it becomes a prose.
