Overall, okay, I suppose. I understand some of my comrades' anxiousness to see "something happen," and yeah, I feel the same way. But I truly believe (and hopefully not naively believe) that these kinds of episodes are laying a foundation for some big happenings in future epsodes...maybe I'm wrong. But if you really think about it, only season one had a "whacking" practically every episode. The other 3 pretty much built one on the other until about the final 3 or 4. Anyway, I hope it's worth the wait...
