The uncritical part: Squee! I wasn't entirely sure last week, but this episode ended hitting on all cylinders and going strong, with everyone getting something to do. (Including poor Haresh, who seems to have taken both Clyde's and Alan's place as the butt of the jokes.) The moral was a little heavy-handed but not noxiously so, and it grew organically out of everything that had gone on before.
The critical part: by George, this season I think they got it. They finally, finally got how to handle families, minorities, supporting characters and ( things that belong under spoiler cut )
