Emrys:
Not sure why, GAP is probably not my cup of tea?
Try to continue, it gets better at episode 5. Ep 4 is also quite good, but at its end Kirk appears, which can be skipped. Ep 5, the scene with pen is breathtaking... really I stopped breathing for a while. :)
My little guide of next scenes, that can be skipped to better enjoy the story:: (these scenes are either angst, sad or annoying)
6.2 Kirk scenes; 6.4 second half; 7.1 first half; 8.3 last 3 minutes; whole 8.4; 9.1 first 7 minutes; 9.2 last 2 minutes; 9.3 first 10 minutes 16s; 10.1 from 11:50; 10.3 from 4:40; 10.4 up to 2:55; 11.1 up to 14:25; 11.4 whole; 12.1 whole; 12.2 whole.. unless you want to see one cute moment "cham cham hon mon mon". The rest is good.
Many scenes in other episodes are worth watching, because chemistry of Sam and Mon is outstanding.
