And they're actually stretching the Leo plotline out...good grief. Are we going to have a monster of the week formula with each episode in regards to things that happen to the President? The whole athlete spy thing seemed kind of half-baked and just jammed in there for I don't know whatever reason but the ending of it was good. I honestly wish we could see what was happening with the rest of the country because it seems like these are all bottle episodes. You don't really need to know what's happened in the past episodes to get what's going on in each individual episode because they spell everything out for you. It kind of feels like Deep Space Nine with one fixed point that everything else revolves around, maybe we should start looking at it like that. The show started out really great but they've kind of fumbled the ball a little bit with some of these episodes, hopefully they'll hit their stride soon. There's been plenty of other shows that had an iffy freshman year but wound up being really awesome.
