Agreed. It was a little on the slow side, but it's a pilot episode. Interesting how they both have their own sub-story.
I'm beginning to wonder how Sam is getting paid. I assumed he was getting a paycheck from the gov't.
I thought they played the connection between the son and dad a little over the top with the son's picture & shrine. But it wasn't until my daughter saw the son's pic in the shrine that she realized the connection. So well done Disney.
