Decent episode setting up things for the rest of the season.

good setup episode.

fastpasstv is usually good

Damn good episode. I actually didn't really like the first episode but this one was great. Mos Def looks to be an awesome addition to the show.

That would be the predictable course for the season to take, but would also make it seem "samey" with regard to other seasons. I hope they do something new with the Brother Sam character beyond the same old "my friend turned enemy" routine.

Is it orthodox for a detective to get vaulted to liutenant, bypassing the rank of sergeant? Maybe leaps like that happen, but it seemed odd to me.

ETA: By the way, I care less and less about the secondary and tertiary characters the more I see them on screen. Debra and Quinn's marriage prospects? Bathroom break. Batista and his sister? Let me check my email. LaGuerta and Matthews politicking? Don't give a frick.

Have they written a character aside from Dexter and Arthur Mitchell that will actually be remembered years after the show has run its course? The Ice Truck Killer was fine, but that one was a freebie from the novel.

It's kind of sad to think that Doakes may have been the only other interesting cop. I thought Lundy was also a decent character.

It's obvious that ulterior motives are at work - I'm just wondering if a leap from detective to liutenant is even proper protocol or if it ever happens in real police precincts.
