I think there's something really special about this era. The storytelling is nice and simple, the characters are great, and I'm glad I can keep track of an episode without feeling like my brain's going to explode.
I'm the complete opposite, I quite like a story to be challenging and thought-provoking. With this season so far, I don't feel as though there has been much to discuss in the way of interesting plots or storylines.

Yeah, I agree. It's a shame because his writing in past episodes was never this wooden or bland. I think he's just trying to shove every cliché he can into the series and it's slowly morphing into a parody show. Also I'm pretty sure we've had the obligatory "get off this planet, or you'll have me to deal with" scene in every episode so far. It's boring.
