I must admit Richard is rather frustrating at times. I know I should root for him but man as a leader I hope he really grows. Although I suppose you could see that a little as the episode ended.
The idea of having Big Head on the inside also seems an interesting plot line to me.
An alternative idea I have is that many of use forget what it is like to watch one episode every week instead of getting the whole season at one time. It is painful actually and you really dissect each episode more.
Is there even one semi-likable character on that show?
