I liked this weeks episode. My biggest problem is that Hawkins never wants to talk to Lodz. You'd think, by this point, he'd want to get some stuff cleared up and Lodz obviously has some important information to share. Hawkins constant refusal to talk seems as silly as Scully telling Mulder that he's being ridiculous for believing in aliens after 8 seasons of seeing crazy shit going down. But I guess he has his reasons, above just being stubborn. I'm sure it'll all come out.

The only problem with the pacing is that the show is already half over. They don't have 22 episodes to work with. We've only got 7 episodes left and Justin and Ben haven't even met yet.
If it turns out that more seasons are guranteed I'll be a little happier, but right now it seems like this epic final showdown between good and evil isn't going to be so epic.

Spoiler:
It is no wonder he is antisocial. I think the show will be redeeming when Hawkins finally overcomes his personal problems and uses his powers to save the world, or whatever may happen...

I don't mind the pace at all. It's nice to have a show that doesn't wrap things up in an hour.
I will, however, be disappointed if what Josh-da-man has to say in his spoiler ends up being true though!

I've yet to hear anything definate about whether this is supposed to be an actual series or just a mini-series. Does anyone have any conclusive info on that?
