Hello Becca!
You're right if you wondered about my comment about "Apollo", "Little Boy Lost" and "Trial by Treehouse" being "typical American episodes". I want you to be sure that this isn't meant in a bad way at all.
The expression "typical American" that I have used is linked very much with the memories of old crime series (especially "I Spy") from my childhood. What I have described as typical American means the details - the average American living rooms, apartments, children's bedrooms (as in "Little Boy Lost"), TVs (as at the very beginning of "Trial by Treehouse"), of course the big and long American cars (as the one used by Bobbie and Roger in "Apollo" or the car Marisa escapes with in "So Coldly Sweet") and finally the big amusement park in "Little Boy Lost".
At least, man's trip to moon is an all-American story, isn't it?
Now another topic: Your opionion about the beginning of "Apollo" being a set up including the fight, is absolutely correct. What I wanted to express in my review was that the viewer CANNOT BE SURE that it IS a set up until Scotty reveals that he has "engaged" Margo as his wife. At least, this was my impression (being shocked) when I saw the episode for the first time, and I really was relieved when the whole thing turned out to be a fake.
I'm sorry that I haven't made it completely clear in the review, but my English is not perfect enough to exclude any misunderstanding.
I hope I have explained it better now.
See you soon,
Paully the Kid
