Used the 2 episode rule to rescue a show I almost quit

My buddy kept pushing this fantasy series on me, but episode 3 put me to sleep twice. I was ready to drop it, then I saw a thread about sticking with a show until episode 4 because that's when the writers stop setting up. So I forced myself through episode 4, and man, that's when the main conflict finally kicked in. Now I'm on season 2 and I've watched 7 episodes in 3 nights. Has anyone else had a show where the pilot setup just drags but the payoff comes way later than normal?

Sticking with a show until episode 4" is basically how I feel about most things in life now. Like jobs, relationships, even trying a new restaurant, you gotta give it one more shot before you write it off forever. Sometimes the good stuff just takes forever to show up, you know?
