Don’t get me wrong, I am still in love with the concept, style and potential of the series, I just think it is suffering a little bit of an identity crisis.

Cool to the touch

After 7 episodes you would think it would be a little more solid in conception. This week had the girls boozing it up and playing truth or dare on the plane. Perhaps this was an attempt to create a “Sex and the City” type camaraderie among the otherwise chemistry-less cast. I like the girls but there is a serious lack of buyable bonding betwixt them.

Nonstop to where?

Then there is the while C.I.A. Espionage angle that always has me wishing the fasten your seat belts sign was off. Throw in a little jungle fever racially charged side story and you’ve got yourself a real hodge podge of “What the heck?” Come on people, we have an African American president, do we need a “very special episode” of The Waltons?

You’re on the Stand-by List

As stated I see huge potential in this show. I think it just needs to find it’s footing sooner than later or it is in serious danger of becoming a flight risk. The good news is that you never know when you will be upgraded to first class. Next week’s episode looks much better so I urge fellow Pan Am fans to brave the turbulence and allow the show to live up to it’s full potential.
