The pacing was pretty poor but overall I thought the episode managed to achieve its goal well enough: set the table and establish the characters. Second half of the episode was much better than the first, and the main characters met sooner than I expected; I figured they wouldn't cross paths until episode two.
The weird atmosphere and light dabble/hint of occult shit surprised me. The initial word was that the season would delve into that stuff, then I heard it was being dropped to further divorce itself from S1. That didn't seem like the case last night.
Vaughn is fine, Adams is good, dunno what to think about Colin. The character is all over he place.
