Its one if the greatest failings of modern scifi. It uses cgi and effects as a crutch for story telling. We have some exceptions to the rules of course, but in general they move fast and skip story beats or discussion.
I think it’s quite possible to still tell a good story in the time allocated these days (noting that streaming shows have more variability in episode length too), but I agree that there is far too much focus on SFX and fast pacing that often leaves the story lacking (and gaping plot holes).
cgi and effects arnt the only crutch. its the unnecessary added characthers with thier unique personalities in the shows that dint advance the plot that much.
