What did you think?
TBH, I kind of wish this had been posted by someone else this time around, because there's otherwise a landslide of things to say about this excellent ep, which I usually try to add on in good faith. And I've done that for many, many episodes here, so far.
Still, how about this @aeronmelon@lemmy.world-- what did YOU personally think about this ep..?
