But it's either getting worse or I'm just getting tired of it.

(SPOILER)There was NO drama behind Cara's "death." She just... died, so suddenly and anticlimactic that it was so obvious that she was coming back somehow.
Yes, the episodes are becoming too much about sidequests rather than the main quest. I don't really agree with you on the writing becoming worse, though. I actually thought that the last two episodes were quite enjoyable.(SPOILER)Yes, Cara's death was anticlimatic (even though her still torturing the soldier after having her throat slit was pretty badass) and you totally knew that she would recover/come back, but I still liked the episode. It was really nice to see the growing desperation of Cara, plus this episode pretty much entirely focused on her and the conflicts this new state of hers brought. It's never bad when Cara gets some more spotlight action. But yeah, I still agree with the fact that the episodes are getting really episodic.. but that's how the show's been all the time, basically. Also, I was glad to see Ted Raimi return. That guy's awesome.
