While each episode is exciting on its own, the first quarter of Season 4 is essentially laying the groundwork for bigger events down the line. As a result, Escape Velocity is a bit of an odd episode. So much of it is setting up future storylines that the episode itself is paced slower and more deliberately than most.
This is just a roundabout way of saying that the first half of the season isn't very good. Or as good as it could be.
ReplyDeleteI think that there are other shows (LOST) that are better at "laying the groundwork". The result: the setups are just as interesting as the payoffs.
I feel like I shouldn't have to wait until the payoffs to be entertained.
