OK, the plot wasn't entirely coherent. I liked rjk's description that "there were some cause/effect problems." However:

* They brought Suzy and the glove back, and may do so again. The first ep felt like it was setting things up from the start of an arc, it's satisfying to feel the ominousness of the glove going somewhere -- the fact that it was all shut down so neatly was something that made me unsatisfied with it.

* I liked Suzy's plan! The idea of having this long-ranging Machiavellian contingency dead-man-switch plan that saves her if she dies. (Ignore for now that it seemed retrofitted out-of-character to knowledge she only had later.)

* "There's nothing there," felt a nihilistic approach to afterlife very appropriate to the show. And pleasantly atheistic too, despite it turning out to imply some life-after-death after all. "But something's coming," felt pleasingly vague and ominous -- being attacked from the afterlife backward is always a promising sort of evil for a series, though I don't suppose it'll turn out any less to be represented by vague angst and cheap demon special effects than any other time.
