The episodes are not self contained - so far all three were open ended. It's frustrating having to wait another week. I don't remember them doing it this bad before, but I could be wrong there.

They did very so often, but not with this scale. For example, the BP, Cthulhu episode was divided in 3 parts; The "Black Friday is coming" Game of thrones episode was also 3 parts; and the imagination land one became a trilogy as well.
In the end, I really enjoy this new format, it gives a sense of "hype" for the next episode. -

YEa I like the serialized nature the show has taken but yea this season has really amped it up and made it more one long story. The last couple seasons were serialized but each episode still felt like it's own.

The last season did that too. Every episode was a continuation of the last. Seems like that's what they're going to be doing for awhile now. Probably to get people to keep watching, as opposed to catching a few episodes here and there and then moving onto something else.
Yeah well, you know thats just like, your opinion man. -

Agreed, the three parters were some of the best SP stories out there. As for the whole series taking on this format, if this was a 40 minute series, I could do waiting till next week, but for a mere 20 odd minutes a week? That just leaves me a little frustrated.

Agree, they just suddenly stop when they haven't really gone anywhere yet and have just reached the minimum of jokes to pass as a new episode. They feel shorter than normal, but not because they are so "good", but because one is really waiting and waiting for it to take off Aaand it's done.
