The problem isn't that those scenes are there. That is a good thing. But they overextended them. For what little happens in those scenes they are much too long.

Just look at the Droy/Jet scene. Why are the Gale-Spawn (or should we call them "mini-Dragons" now?) pause for two minutes between their shots? Why are they just standing around for this long time and give the two FT mages all this time to talk?

At least in the Macao/Romeo/Wakaba scene they were in cover, so one could argue that the Galies attacked more visible targets first and the team only got hit by stray fire or the occsional supressive shot, but Jet and Droy were completely out in the open. How can they still be alive at the end of the episode? Or even 15 seconds into their conversation for that matter...
