I felt this episode was a lot of continuation, with some new stories opening up for the future. Have they decided to change formats?
Yeah, I noticed this too. Last season the show wasn't exactly a procedural, either, but there was always SOMETHING tied up by the end of each episode, even if it was for the bad. But this season there's always more left dangling than there is tied up. I like the change, personally (though I thought the old format was fine too). I suspect we'll see shorter arcs over multiple episodes, and one big central arc over the course of the whole season.
The radio report about Sharon in the Sinai - I'd like to believe they took a real radio report, but I can't place it in history.

Ooh, if you do place it, let us know!
