I caught up on this series last night and absolutely loved it... right up until this episode.
It started off well enough, and it still shared one of the greatest strengths of the series - astonishing art. But the resolution of the crisis of the week wasn't exciting or funny or even particularly interesting. It was just cheesy and forced and unsatisfying.
I do see a glimmer of hope though - with as self-aware and meta as this series has been, it's possible that that cheesy solution is going to have consequences somewhere down the line - that it's going to be recognized as an unsatisfying ass-pull in-universe, and have to be fixed or ret-conned or something like that.
Or I guess it's possible that a series that had been notably good just face-planted for some reason...
