So slow

The pacing of this show is driving me crazy. So much time is wasted with flashbacks, or just panning over a character's face. There's one episode left and suddenly they're introducing a new conflict, right after spending the longest time trying to resolve a conflict that wasn't even there. Some of this doesn't even make sense to me - what is this random room that Itt has taken over to fill with Pai's pictures? Why are they suddenly bringing up the gear exchange when it hasn't been mentioned at all? Why was Itt such a jerk if he was never angry? I get that some of the things he did were for Pai's benefit, but why did he have to treat him with that kind of volatile attitude this whole time if he wasn't upset in the first place? Pai's parent's really showed up /right then/? Yeah, seems unlikely. I guess I'll watch the last episode when it comes out just because I've made it this far, but if I could go back in time, I'd tell myself that watching this isn't worth it. Note: bumped up my rating a half point just because of Sammy's appearance... what can I say, I'm in love *shrugs*
