Also, that way, the mini-arcs can concentrate of character development, rather than apocalypses, which tends to prevent the former, rather than assist it.

Plus, like Idea Guy says, long big bads? Lose all threat after a few weeks. HOWEVER Angel season 4 which, imo, is a good representation of perfect serial TV, had an overhanging arc, but THREE big bads (beast, cordy, Jasmine) all with different tactics, different goals and methods, that prevented stagnation. Then, on top of that, you had the inter-group dynamics (connor, fred/gunn, fred/wes, angel/angelus etc etc) that pushed the pace and upped the episode content by a whole ton.

I'm not saying we go for something that compacts, but mini arcs, culminating in a BIG mini-arc would definately work. (Though I would LOVE to have aspects of the rest of the season's mini-arcs foreshadow and hint at whats to come..something to get the audience, in retrospect, to go 'bloody hell, how did I miss that'... But I think thats just the speculater in me : )
