The first episode of Season 2 aired on Tuesday, and in my opinion, it was quite week. I was snoozing through the first half of it, though it got a little bit more interesting later on (very little). But Dennis Haysbert is beast, so there should be more awesome packed into the next one.

I concur. I have been watching a lot of season premieres (House, Grey's Anatomy, NCIS, CSI: Miami, etc.) and this episode seemed like a weak regular season episode at best. The loose ends weren't tied up in a meaningful way, and the motivation for the blonde's family to stay or go wasn't plausible to me:

Spoiler:

If she is the kind of person who is portrayed as cheating and only thinking of herself, and then in a single episode goes from being that person to the "who will think of the children!" type of person, I don't feel that is the least bit believable... Her staying "for the children" is just silly, since she's never been portrayed as even caring about her own children...

In general though, I like the concept of a show like this. I think it's interesting that the show about the Pentagon doesn't seem to be renewed, but this show was.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
