Hmmm... okay... where to start...
Massive... and I mean MASSIVE improvement over the first episode.
The looking at the script on the desk problem seems sorted, and it seems like people have relaxed a lot more on set. I don't know whether you guys got an teleprompter or whatever, but people's focus seems a lot more on the camera and less on the desk. Whatever was done has worked very well.
That said though, the set still needs sorting, and the sofa and table need to come back 
The dialogue at times still seems a little forced, but it's a massive improvement over the first episode and flows a lot more smoothly. It looks like people are settling into their roles a lot more, and the nervousness is definatley starting to vanish.
The CCG feature was well presented, I personally liked the fact you left the balls up with Spiral wiping the pillar our in the final cut, it adds a lot of character to the show, there should be a lot more of this. It was nice also to see people being interviewed with a bit more structure.
The profile on the Rokh was well edited and had some awesome fraps to back up the audio. The fleet shots of the long range Rokhs were awesome, moar of this please. (I'm sure loxy is the one behind this  )
The report on the article regarding CCP and Goonswarm was intersting, although it would have been better if it were padded out with a few quotes from what was posted by both sides to enforce the opinions a bit more firmly.
The tenth anniversary coverage was kick ass, it's always good to see some features from CCP, and to hear their thoughts on where Eve should be going. It's good also to get opinions from Kieron once in a while. Personally I'd like to see more of him on Eve-TV with regards to Dev-Playerbase relations after what's happened in the past.
The report about the north was pretty sketchy, but it was short and brief enough not to afford a lot of detail. Rather just these guys are fighting here, because of this, and are shooting eachother.
The mining feature with regards to Eve-Uni is a good thing, more of this is needed to show the rookie players of Eve who are watching where they can go for help and advice.
The feature on the upcoming tournament was well done, but I think it would have had more weight if LeMonde or another of the CCP organisers were there to discuss the baselines for rules and entry requirements. It did seem to take up a large chunk of the show, and people not interested in it may have had trouble concertrating on the rest of the show, so being the main feature it might pay to split future coverage that length up with other articles to pace the show a little better.
The Pandemic Legion pilot's blog was a nice addition, and brings a little more of the community spirit into the limelight. It wasn't necessarily needed in the show, but was added and gave a bit of a lift to be honest. It'd be nice to see more of this kind of stuff from community members.
Overall? An immense improvement given there's only been 7 days since the launch. The dialogue just needs to flow that little better at time and it will be spot on.
As for the rest, the nervousness seems to have decreased massively and people look a lot more comfortable, however I still say ditch the set and go back to the Real Eve-TV set.
As for a score out of 10?
10/10 for advertisement (as always, it's everywhere)
10/10 for effort (A lot has gone into realising the community feedback)
8/10 for editing (Some great ingame footage and nicely edited features)
7/10 for sound (still some slight volume issues in places between cuts)
7/10 for content (A bit sketchy in a couple of places but otherwise great)
8/10 for presentation (Enormous improvement from the last Epsiode)
Oh and by the way, free Stevie's hair. It looked way better in the first Episode tbh.
