Well,I'd say that this sort of writing is intentional,building up the characters we will all love or at least like,leave the seeds for extreme plot there but not yet grow them until things are supposed to get meaty,and overall display the average lives of particular people living in a setting that we all go through in their own context. It's like Red vs. Blue. It's pretty innocent in the beginning,no real plot twists or whatnot until about the middle of the series or so. Then,it'll probably shift focus afterwards to reflect this new-found plot. Finally,it might even go as far as to explain what's been going on this whole time whilst we thought our favourite characters were simply dealing with the tasks of everyday life at Beacon. I agree that this focus being done now appears to bring down the show,but honestly,I'm guessing they're going to pull off a Red vs. Blue and make us feel stupid for not being patient with these finer details.
