I agree, especially the directing, and the over-reliance on end of episode cliffhangers, which are often not revisited until 2, 3 episodes later. I do like how the story is developing though, and I know that often it takes a show one season, one and a half, to really get into its groove. 3 more episodes to go before I can have a more full opinion... All in all so far though it really does seem like just one long drawn-out introduction, with the juicy stuff really starts in season 2 (as teased by Goyer in a reddit AMA - Hober Mallow, Church of the Galactic Spirit, a strong general and a weak emperor)
