Huh. I agree there were a lot of nice scenes there, and I think it did help cement it as a show worth watching, but there was just no "woah" moment that really grabbed me.

The first time I felt officially like "holy crap this is a seriously good show" was in Samson and Delilah, first with the intro fight/song (which I still don't get tired of watching) and then with the John-taking-apart-Cameron-while-she's-talking-to-him thing, which managed to take a line I had personally been dreading (I knew eventually she was gonna say "I love you" and I was afraid it'd be so lame) and instead turned into an incredible tense, dramatic and utterly not-lame moment.
