I thought the pilot was a bit weak but it seems to be getting progressively more sure of itself. That's one thing West Wing did really really well: The pilot was amazing and did a fabulous job of introducing you to everyone.

I'm not sold on the President. Maybe I was just spoiled by Jed Bartlet, but this guy doesn't seem all that presidential.

I have not ever seen a single episode of The West Wing so have no comparison.

Take a couple weeks vacation and get on to it. This is inexcusable. At least watch the first 4 seasons.

Episode 4 was decent.

They keep dropping these little hints about the deaths of the former Secretary and that CIA friend of Elizabeth's. That sort of ongoing mystery tease seems unbecoming for this type of show. I hope it actually goes somewhere substantial, but I kinda feel like the show doesn't need it.

I thought this was a pretty good episode. It looks like they're going for the whole plots and maneuvering as a long term arc. The West Wing succeeded very well as a show about a group of colleagues who all liked each other and worked together, but for now I'm cool with this show taking a different approach - I guess it's easier to create a compelling show this way.

What were they smoking when they wrote the "Secretary's husband gets recruited into the NSA"?

I'm just glad we were deflected away from 'husband is having an affair' soap opera crap. I also don't particularly want to see the soapy crap of Daisy and Matt - Matt in particular I'm struggling to take seriously. Aside from Nadine, none of the Secretary's staff are really shining the way say, the cast of the West Wing did.

I like her family, I'm growing to like Russell and the President, but most of her staff are bland nothings.

I guess they got sick of trying to redo the West Wing.

Let me guess - everyone else forgot there was a new episode today?

Does anyone know why the show is taking another break until March?

Or are the airdates on wikipedia full of crap?
