We'll have to see where it goes... ok, I lied, it looks like where it will go in the immediate follow up is incredibly predictable. Of course, mystery is not really a theme or feature of Saga, what is important is character and character interactions. This is a set-up, and the characters either come fully formed or what development there is ends up being somewhat cliched.

It's not bad, but I'm not ready to agree with everyone else that it is something special.
