If the "mundane" is true, that's ok by me. I don't like "cheat" storytelling. That's not to say I don't appreciate a red herring or five, but I frown on a story being told to blatantly suggest one thing only to have some twist for twist's sake reveal the opposite to be true after months or years of story direction.
The stuff that's really bugged me this season have been screenwriter/storytelling issues ... so I have zero faith in them wrapping it up well. If the reason for last night sucking is that they didn't want to give too much away for the last episode in the next-to-next-to-last episode, I say the writers are talentless hacks.
This is supposed to build a climax, not putter and stall towards a climax.
