As for fan voting, I've seen polls where "Ageless" was voted one of the bestest episodes ever. So, you see where I'm going with that.
And I'm sure changes made due to the writer's strike are to blame for the choppiness and lack of excitement.Comment

I'm sorry, but "Veritas" was not a great episode. It wasn't the worst episode ever, but you could just feel that huge chunks were missing. And nothing really happened. There was a lot of exposition, the introduction of some things that look like they might be interesting. But the episode itself was kinda flat and non-actiony.
Really, it felt like part one of a two-part episode. So I do think the stuff that was set up in "Veritas" will start to pay off in "Descent." But "Veritas" itself was kinda blah, and not the kind of ep that would wow and excite new or casual viewers.
How many new viewers begin watching a scripted drama in its seventh season and understand what dynamics exist and the cause-effect relationship that occurs in the actions of the characters? Very few.
I don't look at SV's purpose as being something to pull in new viewers. Instead, I see its purpose as keeping its core viewership and pulling back fans who might have lost interest last season or sometime this year. Over 5 million households watched SV twice this year. Good plots, good dialogue, good continuity and good acting pulls viewers back who may be following the season from afar.Comment
