You make a good point DT. However, I think it's a strategy by the producers. Your description of some of the episodes is intended to lull one into some state of complacency and then follow it up with a blockbuster episode the intensity of which is multiplied. It's kind of like drinking a coke just because and drinking a coke after digging a ditch. The latter is much more appreciated and refreshing.
