Even basic things like radar for aircraft (which based on the diversity of their cities they have to have) would have detected the uncloaked shuttle leaving the planet). And also why people allowed others to touch their chests? I'd be smacking fools left and right.
And the guy who plays John Lemar did the best he could with an awful creative idea and dialogue. Nobody could of saved that dialogue. I do agree with the poster who pointed out they missed a big chance to grow his character with even a small lesson in humility.
The most recent episode (which really felt more like a Halloween show to me) was excellent.

Okay, I dont disagree on any particular point but lets also understand that this is season 1.
Go back and watch Season 1 of almost any show you can name and it'll have it's warts.
And at the same time this show is blazing a path through uncharted territory.
It wasnt perfect, and if people are looking for imperfections they're there and can be found. But overall its good for what it is.
