Agreed.
But what did they accomplish with episodes and episodes of nothing happening? The mood was already set in the first few and it didn't change substantially during the middle episodes. Character development? Not much. Maybe a little bit with the priest dude (but again, not much other than the fact that he emo and maybe killed his brother). Even the Doctor, the best character in the series didn't change substantially over the course of the middle/boring episodes.
While I don't expect the series to be full of action all the time (although to be fair, that can't hurt), I do expect the non-action portions to be put to good use. I just don't feel that was the case here.
