This show's ratings need to stabilize for it to get more episodes or even a full season. It's been bleeding viewers like crazy the last 2 weeks.

I was half expecting Kate to slap her sister in the face during that tirade.

The third episode is our last. I just don't think there's any point to watching. I'm not sure what you could have done to improve the show, I think the concept isn't enought. However, I could have fixed The Playboy Club.

I thought this was a fun episode even though Colette was hardly in it. Really fun to see the girls hang out in Asia. Plus, we got to see Laura in a very tight white slip.
I enjoyed the back story on Ted and his failure as a Navy Pilot even though Ted is a pretty smug douche. Guess that along with his jealousy of Dean culminated to the punch.
Also, it was interesting to see more development in Kate and Laura's relationship as Kate is struggling being a spy.
And I liked how they incorporated a little history in this with the Mercury 9 Mission of 1963 in it.......But, they screwed up the timeline of the historical events. Kennedy's speech in Berlin happened in June 1963 from last week's episode. The Mercury 9 launch featured this week happened in May of 1963.
I'm worried this may not even make it to 13 episodes. I hope ABC's President likes the show enough to keep it on.

Since you've only posted 58 times in the last 11 years, I'm not expecting you to reply, but what's your issue with this show? I think it's a pretty well produced period drama. Definitely not up to par with Mad Men on AMC, but I think it's light fun with gorgeous woman, good sets and costumes plus they are at least trying to incorporate some history in the show.

She keeps me watching week in and week out.
I actually enjoy the show, it's not something that I really have to actively watch to understand what's going on which is a plus for me and it's just got plenty of eye candy.
Wish there was less CGI plane action though, that just takes me right out of it.

I agree and I loved seeing Laura in a girdle. I had forgotten they even existed although the show keeps mentioning them.

I liked that too. I flashed back to "Airplane".
Please stop with the spy stuff. A guy in the bushes waves and says, "Take this camera to Jakarta". That's a well organized agency?
Too bad Kate can't watch Homeland
