Speaking of the first 10 episodes...
I was really on the fence with this show through the first 9 episodes of season 2, but episode 10 was really, really good, and the mini-cliff hanger at the end has me looking forward to the post-Christmas resumption (don't worry -- no spoilers from me
).
Of course the best part of the show is the emerging storyline of a spunky young pilot who takes delight in getting under Starbuck's skin.
