I think this implies that subtext should get easier (or at least there are more possibilities) the further into a movie/show you go, right? So if a writer can nail subtext in the early scenes of a pilot episode — before the characters and scenario are there to provide extra layers of significance to a line of dialogue — that's really impressive.
