I kind of just wish, for once, that the show would step outside of its "realistic" and anti-sensational boundaries and leave us with a nice cliffhanger or a big mysterious whacking or something like that. I mean, yes, I appreciate the show doesn't often use ridiculous plot lines, but sometimes it just gets a little boring.

The show either needs to get more mainstream (lots of hits, violence, guns, etc.) to please its simpler-minded audiences, or it needs to get more abstract (more dreams, more innovative direction choices, deeper character changes, etc.) because this current middle ground doesn't seem to be working.
