The biggest disappointment, IMO, is there was an opportunity to introduce a "National Treasure" type historical vibe but instead, they went with the witch angle.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering the limited creativity of the principles.
This is more or less my take on it. I don't mind the supernatural to an extent, it is after all a ghost story originally, but the apocalyptic avenue is going too far, IMHO. I have grown accustomed to the story being bastardized but, this seems to be straying way the hell out there.

I also agree that a National Treasure type tilt would a have a chance at being more interesting. As it is, it was about as stupid as I feared. Though I'll give it one more shot just because it can be hard to tell from the first show as that is primarily a set up episode. I am not optimistic though.
