Zod, the fact that we are complaining about the flashbacks is not hypocrisy. It's because the flashbacks are not a good way of finding out what happened right after "Auld Acquaintance". A lot of people would rather see the loose plot threads from Season 1 be resolved consecutively and in chronological order than scattered all over the place like they would be in flashbacks. We weren't complaining about them before because they were a good way of getting into the main characters' backstories in Season 1, but right now, we would need a lot of flashbacks to cover at least half of the loose plot threads that we want to see resolved and with 6 less episodes than Season 1 and a big alien invasion plot line going on, too many flashbacks would take away too much from the main plot line.
