Some of the writing is top notch and then other times it's like wtf?

You get lost easily on the plot development on this show. Its brilliant to retarded.
When it gets retarded, you often need a website critic to recap the episode for you.
As predicted, its difficult to 100% follow every single plot development or even understand the implications of a thread without having an insider website feed you the recap and tell you how to interpret it or fill in exactly what something was supposed to mean.
Which I don't mind, but albeit the masses are barely following along. Sometimes on 5.1 surround sound I have to rewind a sentence just because its critical plot development (apparently) and the sentence will make absolutely no sense or have any meaning to me-- that's where you feel better after hitting that recap blog.
There is usually 1 moment of plot comprehension frustration per episode, if not 2. Oh and before some sperglord hauls off with "NO I understand the plot". Oh yeah, believe me, I do too....No, I am not talking about what you think the major story arc is. Its the plot thread development where the confusion is. The sum of parts, and the dialogue which is meant to advance the plot is very poor.
And often times can't be made any sense of at all without a guru with the inside track (usually those cable TV review website blogs) handing you the entire summary of the episode.
I know I can't be the only one who feels this way.
Essentially, yes we know the major plot arcs. But the DETAILS of these arcs and story threads are being told in a very messy fashion. The exposition dialogue is very "welp, hope the audience makes sense of that steaming shitter haha" , "CUT. WRAP! We're done."
Don't have specific examples offhand, my brain isn't open to recall at the moment.
