And then pick up the checklist again when you give it a rewatch. If we go in looking for what the episode does wrong, that is all we are going to see which will hinder you from enjoying all the episode does right.

And if you go in expecting to find only what the episode does right, it's not going to look right because we will also be confronted with the glaring flaws.

I guess so but now that the invasion II/return to New York arc is over and done with, I can go back to Northampton arc without getting impatient and aggravated because it didn't flow well with the rest of the arc and instead watch as anthology theme mini season.

Part of my enjoyment is dependent of where the episode is. If I was really invested in a arc but the writers detour into something else entirely then I'm going be "Hey! What the hell show? I was really getting into this!"

Maybe with me having pre knowledge of the franchise from comics might have something to do with it or maybe I tend have a....over active imagination that craves speculation and detail like a conspiracy junkie on youtube.

Every new change whatever that be a new character or mutation in a show gets me thinking "Oh man! I wonder where this going" and that change never really goes any where or at least it doesn't go beyond the scope of one episode like the ending "A Foot Too Big" and rarely sometimes does it goes into a entirely different direction like Slash.

Then again a different direction is not always a bad thing depending on execution. The most important thing is this create new stories to tell. New conflict and if this don't create new conflict then we have a problem.
