Ya, the show has always had the main big plot that they will touch on at the beginning of an episode, once or twice briefly in the middle than finish up with another few minutes at the end of the episode, and then have a small plot that is the majority of the episode.
I don't have a problem with any of the small plots, I think the big plot has been getting stretched too much. I don't necessarily mind where they have taken it now, but before this season it was just a layer upon layer of conspiracy and cover-up that it made it seem a little bit ridiculous in my opinion. It was like playing Mario, every time Michael caught up with the supposed "mastermind" of his burn notice, the new plot was "Thank you Mario! But our Princess is in another castle!"
