I liked the episode a lot (it could still go to hell but I don't think so) and while it's weird to have such a huge change in the cast it's also really interesting to have a show that reinvents itself and gets away with it.

I admire you for deciding to give up Tumblr. I've thought of doing that (mostly during exams) but I can't manage it. It's disconcerting how addictive that website is :/
