I know you had much more to say and explain in your post, but if that is a good analysis of BTG, I don't think it's sustainable long-term.
You do say we've ad a lot of revelations in 13 months, but I'd say most of those came in the first few months. We get character and some plot towards something, but then we're left hanging. The show leaves that story for weeks and months at a time.
Then we see new characters added before other plotlines are fully developed or resolved. We also get plot build-up -- highly anticipated events like WinterFest -- that pretty much goes nowhere. Some people thought WinterFest was fine and made excuses for it (such as the show not knowing if it would be renewed), but I was really disappointed with what we got. I'm worried that will happen again with the Cotillion.
We got build-up with the free clinic, and then never saw it. We got a celebration at Uptown. We get build-up about Leslie's shouse, but I'm unsure we'll ever see it. They're painting the exterior and landscape as so ridiculous that they'll never find an establishing shot to represent it unless they use AI. They're trying to build-up the plasma storyline to amp the danger, but that's not working.
So yeah, I love strongly written characters, but I also want more than a sprinkle of plot. I want story and I want movement and resolution.
