 I love how they dealt with the only awful thing about season 1, which was the relationship drama, all in the first five minutes or so.

 Don't feel bad, they've got some spacetech wigs.

What was the point of going off on Martha?
He had to leave to do the "forced repatriation", and that was the least conspicuous way to go all of a sudden - seeing that she had been on the phone the whole time.

I've always wanted to see Baal take a poo poo.
Oh good, you managed to find a way to make that scene more disturbing.

 The look on Phil when he stared into the soul of the student who came for his wallet was some of the most haunting poo poo I've seen on TV.

 She's awful in interviews, though, but yes, Nina's a really great character this season around.

Awful how? Like, boring, or arrogant, or shy? I haven't seen or read any interviews with her, so I'm just curious.
Short answers, doesn't say much, doesn't get asked much in ensemble interviews as a result.

I'm not sure at what point they decided Jared did it, but I didn't get the impression it was a last minute thing. After they ruled out Larrick, they didn't really introduce any other suspects.
I'mstill a little borthered by the idea that he managed to fire four shots in a hotel room, without anyone noticing.

Does this programme get better after Season 1? I've watched about six episodes and it isn't bad (apart from the terrible 'beat up the paedo' scene), but the crisis of the week format is becoming boring.
Depends on what you don't like about it. I think the first season is great aside from the trite relationship drama, and the writers seem to have realized that by season 2.

My guess would be that you aren't going to like the show either way.

 Paige, like Nina, is also a much better character.

God, region restrictions on trailers are the dumbest goddamn thing. I assume they paid to use some catchy period tune.
