Point, counterpoint, extend, crisis, reversal.
It is a high compliment to a new series that by Episode 8 in the first year the writers feel comfortable enough that they not only can do an entirely episode on "personal issues" but they can deconstruct their own (original) plot arc with the intent of catching the viewer offguard.
The result is entertainment of the highest order.
I do not know if this series will stand the test of time. No one does. But it is easily one one of the most interesting series in the history of TV and I am looking forward to s02.
