Very often TV shows tend to go hell bent for leather with scant disregard for what has gone before.this episode is a perfect example of that old maxim "Less Is More".....a slow opening,some great production values,an almost total lack of dialogue from some main characters...all these add up to a great season opener that has gravitas,thought,depth and some great acting.....my fave band is Rush but I listen to Slayer as well,you need light/dark..you can't be pounded over the head all the time,you need to breathe and appreciate what the quiet really can bring out....you can't have constant battles/warfare without the little things that add greatly to an episode or a series....
