Rather than writing an entire blog post about this episode, here are my brief thoughts:

I adored this episode; not necessariy enough to make it my favorite for the season, but pretty high up there for now. This episode has two main things going for it that make it great for me:  it calls the fandom out on its bullshit, and I persoanlly consider it the "COTLM of Season 7" (granted, the only reason I do is because I felt the same way going into this episode as well as after it). I ad to pause the episode several times to compose myself whenever a character would say something that the fandom has been saying for years. It's nice to see just how close the fans and the show staff are in this sense; this episode is SOL, but less forced. On a side note, I really like how the writers left the problem open-ended, rather than hastily resolving it, because that's what happens in real life; to quote Josh Scorcher, "I love the show when it pokes fun at reality," which is exactly what we got with this episode.
