Okay, I liked "The Five". Nice background histories and further character depth and development. More to come with the A storyline, I'm sure.
The B plot was dispensable, especially since there wasn't any tie to the A plot, but my prediction at the beginning of this series is turning out to be correct - vampires and werewolves have made full appearances now...
If they do this right, they could make something out of this series... I'm still skeptical, but a bit more hopeful after seeing "The Five"...
