I really dislike the horrible pacing, but Sasori's prettiness makes it all worthwhile. Seriously he is so incredibly beautiful. I love his design and that tired/bored look he has. Anime villains with that classic tired/bored look are the best! Great voice too. Sasori <3<3<3

I will have to say also that the best part of Shippuuden are those entertaining segments at the end of each episode.

Neji riding on Lee's back, Chiyo playing dead & Tenten slapping Kakashi = all win
