The problem I had with this episode is that it felt very much like a strawman attack on science and scepticism. Denying observed phenomenon because you can't explain it isn't what happens in science and scepticism. The reason why scientists don't tend to believe in the supernatural is because of lack of evidence, not lack of explanation.

The episode concluded on a low note as well, with TS giving up on trying to find an explanation for a mysterious phenomenon. Yes, there will always be things about this world that we don't currently understand but part of the wonder of that is having the curiosity to seek out explanations, even when they're not immediately forthcoming. We shouldn't be content to wallow in ignorance.
