Damascus was timed well.
They gave us enough info to go "Ohhhhhh" and enough new info to keep us watching (especially the last shot of the Damascus episode).
I was almost coming to a point where I was about to give up on the show. Luckily, I TiVo's all of this season's episodes (except 1 & 2) and watched them last night. I went to bed at 4am after the Damascus episode--I couldn't stop, I knew something was coming this time, unlike the previous two dozen times when we thought something was going to be discovered and we didn't learn squat.
Also, excellent twist with the Brother Justin/DA part--i honestly didn't see that one coming. Leading up to that scene, I was wondering what was going to happen.
Question - I missed the first couple of episodes, so I have no clue what is going on with Ralph Waite's character. Could you enlighten me (with spoiler tags, of course), thanks.
One more question: <span style="background-color: White; color: White;">Also, wasn't Lily dead at the end of Season One?</span>
