I liked this episode a lot. No "just you wait until you see X" teasers and no overly drawn out "let's pretend to dunk on Jeff B" bits is a big plus in my book.
@mancombseepgood:I suppose I'm two years late replying to this, but the fallacy you're applying here is thinking of the fan-base as one single block. The problem arises with there being two competing sorts of thinking, as could happen in any large group of people. In this case, I feel like a minority had the urge to spoil all of the OP stuff at the expense of the majority's enjoyment of them playing the game "for real." It doesn't matter too much since the game gets really easy regardless, I suppose.
