I was more thinking of it from a character relationships standpoint. If you drop season 1 you lose a lot of that character depth.

Not a unique problem. Farscape has the same issue. Most of season 1 is kinda mediocre, but you need to watch it for the good stuff later to make sense.

Farscape Season 1, Episode 19, the one which introduces Scorpius. That said, you really do need to watch most of the preceding episodes or else nothing is going to make any frelling sense and you’ll think you’ve gone fahrbot.

I think it’s more that someone managed to explain to them in words they could understand how unenforceable it was, and having it be unenforceable for some weakens the law’s standing as a whole. Now it doesn’t because they aren’t required to try.

Not to worry though! They’ll happily sell you an overpriced one for all that money they aren’t paying you.
