It would be nice if they started to "go somewhere", but at the same time, it's nice to see them taking there time for character and setting development.
The recent movies are way too fast-paced (other than the useless casino filler part).
I'm sure that as the series progresses, the plot will get more interesting and the stakes will be higher.
As for the most recent episode, a few things bugged me:
-Why did that daughter just uselessly stay in the puddle when the village was being attacked. Why did she force her mother to risk her life just to retrieve her. Does a 10 year old child not have enough common sense to run away? All the other children were...
-Why were they using wooden sticks to fight? Under no circumstances would sticks be a better weapon of choice than high-tech blasters. Not even in close range.
-Why did he break the tracking device while they were still close to the village? They should have flown to another planet, broken it there, and then left for another planet.
-Why did he take his helmet off while looking out the window? Any of the children could have easily seen his face. Assuming it wasn't some police force one-way window.
But I did like how the episode was longer than usual. It's nice to see they can just choose the length of the episode depending on what the plot requires. Every single character is great IMO.
