I'm not sure what you mean by "episodic" exactly. Could you clarify?
From my point of view, I would say the plot is weak principly because it relies on the boring and inconsistent plot device of Red Matter and a series of glaring and implausible coincidences in the pivotal sequence on Delta Vega.
To put it another way, I think the movie succeeds in spite of its plot and not because of it.
What is very heartening for me is the fact that the sequel should automatically have a better story since the reboot is over, the origin story is told, and time-travel from the Prime universe will presumably not be necessary.
I can't wait to see this crew, this ship and the new pacing and effects in a better story.
