The main story of last night's episode was the kind I've heard people say they don't like. That may be nothing compared to the insidious problems that I had with last night's episode. One is a particularly big problem. The premise, I found, has one giant hole that I only hope can be fixed. By design, we know nothing about the main character and she literally has no personality. In the series John Doe a few years ago, we knew nothing about the character's past, but his personality made rooting for him early on fairly easy. I found I had trouble rooting for Echo last night. I keep wanting to root for Faith. But this woman is not Faith. Who is she and why should I care?

Incidentally, Age put a long essay on last week's episode up at ATPo. I will probably put up some more comments (with spoilers) about last night's there later today.
