THAT is terrible pacing, Episode 4 had perfectly fine pacing but this was terrible, even without BroGoat the fact that they screwed up Battlers denial scene makes this episode terrible.

And, seriously, no red text on the sin? The flag battle I knew was going, I finished mourning it long ago. But, like, isn't this a massive clue? Heck, doesn't she use the red after Battler quite plausibly accuses her of not telling the whole truth? Don't we need it confirmed? I don't know, maybe DEEN's budget ran out of red crayon or something.

You can hate to admit it or not but...we don't know what is important and what is unimportant yet. As long as Ryukishi really does have an eye on how they are structuring the episodes all is good and well, if not we may run into some massive fail, but still...we don't know.
We neither know what Goats are supposed to be, or if they have any purpose except being magical cannonfodder at all...everybody can argue that DEENs portrayal works against his/her own interpretation or theory, but if it is harmfull to the mystery nobody except Ryukishi himself might know.

might be true for you, but for me this part of the VN crawled like a sick snail on valium...somehow it was lacking any real effect for me at all.
That IS subjective, of course....but it shows that different people regard different things as important and as long as we don't have rock solid proof that important stuff was omitted it is all subjective.
