I'm with digdux on the topic. Personally I feel they've followed the fandom to the point where they've lost much of the original creative vision, the thing that I really got into. The show became successful (in my book) because the writers recognized the subtleties of great writing, something that broad fanbases collectively tend not to fully understand. Also, fans tend to disagree on what they want from their object of admiration, so catering to one group may alienate others... the latter of which is how I've been feeling lately.

I don't think listening to and interacting with a fanbase is a bad idea in and of itself, and honestly that being the premise of this episode's story doesn't suddenly spoil it for me. I just think bending the writing to the whim of the loudest majority has a lot of potential to derail the unique style that made the show stand out when it started. If the original formula wins fans, and sticking with it keeps them coming, seems reasonable to me to conclude that something about the formula is already appeasing the fans plenty.
