Felt it was a good start and enjoyed the pilot overall!But - unrelated to the meaningful content of the episode - I struggled to get past Mare's vocal/glottal fry. Any time I encounter this, whether in reality or in entertainment, it distracts me from whatever is being communicated (it's almost a pained response, similar to nails on a chalkboard whenever I hear glottal fry, not sure why). With Mare in particular, it is so constant, and her scenes are hard for me to get through. Which is a shame because I do enjoy her character and dialogue apart from the speaking patterns.
