I think where I land on the episode is this:

This episode was kinda fine, for the most part. There was some good stuff, some bad stuff and some dumb stuff. I think this "quality" of episode fits in with like seasons 6 and 7 (which aren't exactly AMAZING seasons). There's certainly been worse, especially in this very season. And this isn't me excusing the stuff that is bad either. But, here's the problem:

- Just being "fine" IS disappointing on its own. We're on the final episodes of the series now, I think we can expect better than fine for the second to last episode.

- This episode is worse coming after 3 and especially 4. Like honestly, coming after 4 creates problems that wouldn't exist otherwise. This episode would be better without 4 existing.

- I think we can say that episodes 3 and 4 are generally considering disappointing if not bad episodes. With that in mind, the backlash towards this "fine" episode makes sense. It's hard to put into worse, but like the "magic" of the show has been ruined. This show has always had dumb or bad things happen, but it's been more forgivable before. The good was SO good you overlook a lukewarm episode here and there. But now the Dam of Bad has broken so to speak, and now that things have gone so south every problem now feels more pronounced.
