I think one of the things this show will be remembered for -- or at least, one of the things that will be brought up in future analyses of what 'made [it] so great' is the willingness of its creators (esp Moore) to be bold with their use of time scope and time scale.
To be willing, in one instance, to have a handful of episodes that take place in a matter of a week or two, and then, in the next instance, to be willing to suddenly incorporate a year-long progression is bold, daring, and, IMHO, a key to the show's vital spark. It's refreshing to watch something on TV -- sci-fi or otherwise -- that isn't quaking in its boots to adhere to convention and the tried and true every step (pun intended ) of the way.
I look forward to the third season, and I salute the producers' methods.
