The Romeo and Juliet parallels are completely intentional, though, so that's not really a point against the episode. There are a lot of Romeo and Juliet adaptations out there that have gained critical/overwhelming praise, so it's hardly an "original" concept at this point. Has R&J been adapted to death at this point? One can certainly argue so. It all depends on what the adaptation does with the source material. Does this episode do anything original with the concept? Not really. But many agree it has a lot of heart and charm regardless and tells a story that a great number of fans have been waiting to be told.

But hey. Can't please 'em all.
