I think we can all agree that the story is largely paint by numbers and you can add the character development to that as well. However, the characters them selves are so broadly appealing that I think the staff gets away with it.
More generally, I am glad to see I'm not the only one that thought this ep ruled especially in comparison to the more meh previous episodes. It's interesting, there's nothing revolutionary here storywise (anyone with half a brain can call what Nui is all about) but the execution and build up of everything is just IMPECCABLE. Everything is set just right for a big ass epic battle (which is really all anyone really wanted) with some kickass characters.
Oh and I wanted to yell out at the TOP OF MY FREAKING LUNGS at the second coming of FIGHT CLUB MAKO...............but I have a sore throat.......
