I would say depicting your critics as being unreasonable characters in your show is a clear sign of professional and emotional insecurity (good writing tends to speak for itself), but I honestly don't know what the deal is with this episode. I don't feel any connection with the writers anymore. I've lost track of what they're trying to do episode to episode and I don't really keep tabs on fandom responses, so I have no idea if this episode was meant to reflect or address criticism from the show's audience, or if they were sincerely trying to just make a story based on a more general idea of criticism, or whatever else. I will say that it seems pretty believable they were inserting some facsimiles of criticisms for the show, but to exactly what end besides self-validation I couldn't say.
