Of course it's always easier to say so when you know what's coming, but I was surprised that I saw hints to larger storylines very early on - talk about elements that will most likely come up again, like Leitners, Jane Prentiss etc. (Not sure about vampires yet...)

Oh man, that makes total sense with that sense of helplessness and I look forward to the new season a lot.

The transcripts are helpful for when I miss stuff because of e.g. background noise, but I'll try to listen because I think I'd miss a lot otherwise.
