First of all, they must have racially-targeted black actors (according to skin-color) in order to find the one black man on the planet who can swim in salt-water with his eyes open. Second of all, the dude he was swimming to rescue- was simply chillin' in a helicopter seat underwater... just because he can't get his seatbelt off by himself. He calmly takes a breath from his little oxygen tank and points to the seatbelt when the black guy (who somehow found him at night, in salt-water, with no flashlight or mask, after somehow finding the sinking helicopter in 300 billion gallons of water and locating the door-latch) comes to rescue him. Have you ever tried to open your eyes underwater and see anything in focus more than 2 feet away?!?.. much less in SALTwater?!?! And then the radio says "all searches have been called off until the storm passes", when the wife waiting at the station asks "durrrhhhh what does THAT mean?!?"... Then, in all-out-hatred against black women, the media AGAIN puts the black-lover-man into the latina woman... RACISTS!!!

My favorite episodes of the series so far are Faces and Adrift. What I liked about the storyline in Faces is what the Alfonso character was going through as he realized how much of his body was burned, and how his life would never be the same. Having to accept this, and know that nothing would ever be "normal" again was quite powerful. When Lily tries to help in and he pushes her away because he's in so much pain, that felt so real. I can only imagine what it must have been like for him to have to go through this in real life. What I liked about Adrift was all the stuff with Graciela and Jared's memories of childhood. When Graciela remembers her grandmother singing to her, that was incredibly touching, and then when she dreams of her dead brother and he reaches out to take her hand, as if to take her with him to heaven, I got goosebumps. I'll keep watching to see what other hurdles they will all have to overcome.

Chill out everyone. It's a television show, not the opening negotiations for disarming nuclear armed North Korea. Good looking guys (who cares), hot women in bikinis (I care), in beautiful surroundings. Dolph Lundgren is a known going in. He brings what he always brings. J.R. Martinez grows as an actor with every outing. Fresh new faces fill out the show and present the creators with chances for growth and creativity. I anticipate that season two will benefit from the growth in season one and that new story lines will break this show open. Face it, in a world where Brooklyn Nine-Nine can win a Golden Globe as Best Sitcom, SAF3 is a sure bet to be around for a long time.

Without the hype, of many similar shows, it holds promise. I think it is continually getting better. The plot is developing at a good pace.Love JR Martinez! I was an EMT in Alaska and ER Tech in California, while there are some discrepancies, (aren't there always with TV scripts?) it is better than most. The interaction between the team members is good and they are building true relationships working together as in real life.If you are tired of all the trite poorly written sensational junk out there, give it a try.My only real complaint is the theme song. It is pretty bad. Give us some bagpipes and Amazing Grace or something.
