Well I can't say much regarding this episode, but last week was a time travel episode. Inherently they are gonna be predictable, especially one that uses a 'stable time loop', like 'It's About Time".

Anyone who has any concept of how a time paradox works could infer the twist of that episode. And to be honest, that's okay. A time episode isn't about building up to a conclusion, its about going along for the ride as a less genre savvy character(s) struggles to avoid the time loop. Depending on the shows theme will determine whether comedy or tragedy will result from the struggle, and the point is to focus on what is happening in the moment, not expecting something from the future.

So yes, the last episode was a cliche, but it is the humor and the characterization that makes a time episode unique, not the plot. As for this week's episode, I am unclear how I want to rate this.
