I've lost count of how many dramatic speeches Ox has made about his mom and dad throughout this series.

Once more a bunch of nameless background characters have died. This series is full of Red Shirts.

Everything has been so high drama that the supposed danger that now threatens doesn't feel like an escalation, it's "just Thursday". Also, the characters keep switching sides on what is the best course of action back and forth constantly (sometimes in the same conversation) and they keep rehashing things they've talked about many times without getting anywhere...

There's a lot of conversations between the characters of actions and character development that _has happened_, but very few scenes of such things being shown.
