"274" has us at Day 3 after the assault on Dr. Walker and we have entered the make it or break it stage for the show. The pilot was great, the second episode, "Vector" while having a couple disturbing images was ultimately rather boring in comparison as too much focus was spent on the doctors Dr. Jordan was held up with.
The pleasant music that opened the pilot is back as the title sequence theme and it adds a nice bit of levity and contrast to the tone. The two major conflicts of the episode, Walker's struggle with the earlier attack and what she knows based on what they have seen will happen to her and the ongoing fight for control between Farragut and Hatake, bring the excitement and intrigue that had petered out last week. There is more interaction between the Major and Dr. Boyle which was one of my favorite parts of the pilot and it is equally enjoyable here if a bit hammy.
All that being said, I am still not sure if this series will deliver in the end. Mr. Moore's track record isn't immaculate and while he is only Executive Producer it is still entirely possible that the show will go off in a disappointing direction.
