Fluffbrain, to be honest, that's a VERY strange way to judge an episode.... O_O

I've never encountered this kind of perception of the show either.

It's almost like you want to get a perfection for an episode: exact combo of the story, dialog, animation, and presentation, and if it's not exact, it doesn't work for you. ( The lesson in the end of "The Point of No Return" would be quite useful for you actually :D )

What I think is that you shouldn't rely on such methods, since they are not reliable. (One time I actually had a mistake judging one episode by screenshots and info what was going on in it, but when watched fully a couple of times my opinion was changed to the better).

What's important here is that everyone I know who watched this particular episode (the point of no return) says it doesn't feel like season 6-8 episode at all, and all people say it does feel like season 1 episode about Twilight. So that's not just my own opinion.

I'll tell you more. There's barely were any episode that feel like that starting from season 6, so while your method worked for all the episodes, I'm not sure it's reliable enough to just discard this particular episode completely.

And I know, it's just my opinion, but aside from humor, what makes this show great is the characters, strong slice of life writing, stories, episodes that just leave you feeling good after watching them.

For example, do you remember "Amending Fences" episode from season 5.

Tell me, did you like that episode?

If you did, remember that it didn't really focus on humor, it was quite a serious episode and a very important one for Twilight. And if you did like that episode, then you should like "the ponit of no return as well" I think. Or at least appreciate the episode how closely to season 1 it's executed and how happy it makes a Twilght fan feel about it.

Well, ultimately it's your decision of course, but you could make an exception and watch the whole episode (not the first minute of it, not just screenshots or quotes from it, but the whole thing, before you judge it).
