I review the progress in understanding the structure of pulsar magnetospheres, including the questions of plasma supply, spin down energy loss and magnetospheric reconnection. While some persistent questions about pulsars are getting answered, new questions invariably appear, such as the physics of intense current layers and its connection to pulsar emission processes and particle acceleration. New observations of transient pulsars are providing a direct probe of the magnetospheric current system. I outline how together with numerical simulations they help to constrain the physics of the incredible magnetospheric machine.
