Some of us can't handle all the negativity we've seen over the past few months. Seeing plague after plague, war after war, death after death for thousands of years...

I AM interested in Quinn's storyline though (or however they spelled it). Her circumstances make her storyline more compelling.

Overall, I enjoyed it.
