The initial storyline was damned good, and highly emotional. The second wasn't nearly as interesting, at least on a character-driven emotional level (there was imagination 'a plenty), but you could see where the groundwork was laid to get the intended storyline moving.
I'm a bit torn on the idea of dragging out the set-up in such a lengthy fashion. On one hand that second trade seemed to go nowhere, but on the other it established possibility that can take the story ANYWHERE.
Then I started in on the two most recent FABLES trades. I wonder if Willingham knew he was on to pure gold when he pushed that idea on DC? All the wonder of AKIKO and the drama of STRAY BULLETS, the two series I currently miss the most.... #lockekey

It's a tiny bit slow on exposition though. #lockekey

unlike when other actors talk about the company and lawyers, and how those groups control what they can say.
it's very respectful.

But I think you redeemed yourself with the "due to some kind of sporting event". *giggle*

Considering all those things, I think one would be a bit suspicious and say "what the heck is going on here?" I don't think the show was intending to promote xenophobia.
I also don't think it has anything to do with Obama. It just happens to be coming on the air at a time when some of these same issues are getting major coverage in the news.
