Re: Comparing the first two episodes of s2 and s3

Well as part of a trend I'd say that s2's episode had more set-up than s1's but less than s3's. S3's just seemed to have so many little bits of story that were clearly going somewhere but didn't within the episode that it felt more like the episodes from the second half of season 2.
