The Mutants - Episode 2

*Yawn*  I admire the show's efforts at depicting a story about colonialism and independence, but the un-subtle way it goes about it just doesn't work.  And the crap acting doesn't help at all, either.  In particular, Professor Jaeger struggles to get out his lines on several occasions.  We're only in Episode 2, and the story is d..r...a...g...g...i...n...g terribly.  It's a shame that the writers were just plain lazy.  Cotton gets rid of Jaeger by telling him the Marshal wants to see him.  He goes.  He comes back angry because the Marshal did not want to see him.  Cotton says, "Oh, well" and leaves.  Huh??  This is going to be a long 6 episodes...
