Let me first say, that this was an incredible episode of television. It was wildly impressive and entertaining. So many people put in their best work, from the actors, to directors, animators, composer, editors, costume design, set design, on and on and on.

And I really mean that. Every single person that toiled to make this happen did an incredible job.

It’s a shame that they’ll be associated with one of the worst endings in television in history because the writers are the only people in the team that can’t carry their weight.
