icepixieFirst, have some pretty pictures.

That was definitely a better outing than the pilot. DD's character still does way too much that's not ME-related, and the whole "she's so good she tells her boss what to do" thing with Curtis is falling very flat, but everything definitely felt more even this time around. I liked especially that Sonja Sohn's Detective Baker got more to do; I've never seen her in anything before, but I liked her a lot in this episode. Jeri Ryan (Kate) could still use a little more screentime, but I liked her quip that she was hoping to "contain" Megan by pairing her with Baker and Morris.
I've managed to get invested in the Megan/Lacey storyline already, which is good, although I do think they need to give it a rest for a couple episodes after this and let it play out a bit more slowly (I guess the smothery, moving-too-fast feeling was what they were going for in this episode, though, so props to them for achieving it). Maybe they can spend a couple episodes showing Megan attempting other methods of having a personal life? That could be hilarious. Oh, and if it could involve Peter, that would be nice, since against my better judgment I appear to be shipping the hell out of them. (Or at least, I'm shipping them when I'm not slashing Megan and Kate. They would be great too.) I just...I always fall for the Defrosting the Ice Queen trope, especially when it's done with sarcasm, okay? I am weak.
The case was reasonably interesting, though the ending came out of nowhere. I'm unsure if I just wasn't paying attention or if it was actually supposed to be that surprising. Megan still jumps to conclusions too much for my taste, but at least she seemed to use actual evidence to point the finger at the father. Did enjoy Curtis and Ethan doing their own investigative work, although again it beggars believability that coroners would be out in the field doing that kind of thing. I guess I can get used to it, though, because funny goes a long way with me. I get the impression they might be trying to include more humor, which would take this from "promising" to "likable."
Huh. I think I might actually have started hoping for this to make it to a second season. Congratulations, show.
