Whereas Ep 1 was about backstory and buildup, there's no shortage of action and tension in Ep 2. The sheer luck of survival vs death gets made very clear as planes go down and paratroopers jump (and I can't imagine how some didn't get hit by planes coming up behind them in that chaos).
It's also pretty obvious what a disaster the following events could have been without someone well suited to lead like Winters. Interesting to see a variety of familiar faces popping up in the episode (although Neal McDonough already showed up, which amused me). The flubs, the chaos, the training paying off, were all interesting to see. I was definitely hooked by the end of this episode and wanting to see where things went.
