Tonight's ep was rather boring

They need to start bringing in older actors to play the characters with all this time elapsing each episode and they all look the same as they did last episode.

Good to see Jessica Capshaw, though it looks like being the stepdaughter of Steven Spielberg isn't enough to keep you alive on the show

I thought it was a lot better than the first episode...not bogged down with endless spiritual stuff. So far, so good. Not great, but enjoyable.

I agree the second episode was better than the first. All the death and other hardships were quite absorbing.

I could also do without so much woo-woo but I guess the Indians were pretty into it.

Am I the only person who is enthusiastic about this show? I think it's fantastic, especially now that every single show I watch has had its season finale.

Jessica Capshaw played Dorothy Wheeler in Valentine, Rachel Wheeler here; I thought that was funny.

this one was MUCH better than the first one. it's a shame though that some of the dangling plot threads from this one were spoiled by the previews for next week.

oh yeah, jessica capshaw

Couldn't have said it any better.
