Incredibly dull but I think this is the exposition dump episode and everything else might be good

At least I want to believe it will be good :argh:

According to early reviews this first episode is supposed to be rough but then the second will be good and then it's up from there.

The whole alien thing exists to cause those who would be dangerous to the order to become stupid conspiracy theorists. The conspiracy theories are the real conspiracy.

I wouldn't say this is bad, just like, bland X Files. Like I am enjoying it because hey this is incredibly X Files but yeah its just seems like a bunch of setup.

Yeah I'm digging it for the same reason.

I like to think every 20 minutes the government parades some conspiracy theorist through that fake alien cage and feeds them the same crap.
