    Agree, the structuring means that there is always too long between significant episodes with bigger events and the ratio is skewed in favour of little by little exposition episodes. They could tell these stories much better through fewer more stacked with action episodes but as the networks order 10 episodes per season, whatever, they're forced to stretch it out and that slackens everything and the tension and excitement are lost

    Some of the most iconic movies are black and white with huge dialogue

    Look at how Ben hur is more action and not half movies like say Maltese Falcon.

    These days scripts are action heavy and dialogue and acting light

    No disrespect to di caprio but you got chewing and buried.. that not an oscar no for me. He was twice the actor in blood diamond.

    I've read a few reviews for last night's episode and it's reckoned to be the best episode yet of BCS. It sets the final episode up perfectly.

    I read a good few reviews yesterday and all said it's the best episode of either series so far. Shakespearian plot lines <ok>
