Going nowhere? We've had the world and its rules (sort of) explained to us, to be fully discovered later on. We've seen the main characters go to Beacon, we've seen them all meet and interact with each other. And then, finally we've seen the first part of their initiation, and half of the team pairings of the Alphas. I wouldn't call that nothing, especially for episode 5 (technically episode 3) where the episodes have been 5 minutes long on average.

Also, I'm almost positive next week is going to be what 'fixes' the series for you. :P
