Excellent start to the series -- pretty much non-stop action, which I thought was missing from the beginning of series 3 and 4.
As for the scheduling on Sky One, we're going to be further behind by next week -- in the US they showed four hours in two nights, whereas we have to wait a week to see episodes 3 & 4. I guess there *may* be a mid-season break in the US, but I doubt it. So looks like we'll be four or five episodes behind them for the rest of the year. It's a shame really because it was hard to avoid getting the ending spoiled last year, and I suspect the same will happen this year.
