Seems like they've been taking more time with the character moments
They are!
Although I guess there's a bit of a trade-off here. The character moments are coming at the cost of 'bridging scenes' that show more about what's happening in the plot. The Daedelus Variations wasn't so bad about this, but the first three episodes had a lot of "this is what's been happening in the meantime" infodumps.
Still, I have been enjoying S5 thus far. I'm waiting for the first 'big clunker' of an ep to turn up: something that leaves me cold.
