He's not wrong.
There is a formula/pattern to the show, for sure. But it works, so I'm not squawking too much. But, sure enough, I've never seen a TV character get more sidetracked/detoured in my life. Nothing's just ever straightforward/easy.
I'm looking for the upcoming season 3 episode, "The Plan" (as in "everything goes according to it, for once"). He flies from planet A to planet B, nobody double-crosses him, he doesn't have to take out a warlord or gangster who's terrorizing farmers and he just walks into a bar and has a drink without having to kill half the joint to do so. It'll be about eight minutes long, but possibly one of the more satisfying installments!
