It's been a few days sine Saturday...has this episode grown on anybody since it aired?

I think it's starting to happen to me - there are many many genuine reasons to dislike this episode and the direction the show is going; when it initially aired, I called it "above-average" and said it was good if you were willing to think very little on it and not ask too any questions...I haven't seen the episode since then, but It's getting to the point I think where, predictably, I don't think it bothers me (whether the episode's foibles or the controversy behind-the-scenes) anymore....I'm at the point where, as I expressed, I'm willing to simply enjoy the episode, and the show's direction, for what it's worth no matter how it came to be.....and as you'd might expect, my interest in the episode has begun to climb because of it.

Some may say it's just 'rolling over', but I could just as aggressively say that those who are especially angry are just cutting themselves from the show -- I suppose in a sense, this is a 'make-or-break' moment for those who still care for the canon episodes, and it doesn't have to be so; I personally want to still watch and enjoy the episodes for what they are, rather then have an elite attitude and only care for S1 episodes or something.

What it comes down to I suppose, is that everyone needs to come to terms with this one way or another, and I suppose the answer is what makes people happy -- me, this season was nigh-flawless for me and I'm willing to look past everything that made MMC come-to-be...for others, perhaps the canon has been ruined forever and it's relegated to material for your fanworks, or you're even willing to leave the fandom entirely which some people have actually said they would do (though in fairness, some have reasons beyond this episode, such as their own changing interests).

Given that this talk page is apparently on the verge of closing, it's a good time to ask this question: More so then how you feel on the episode, what is your attitude toward the future of the show's canon? Do you care for it still and will watch S4 when it arrives, or have decided to cut yourself from the canon/fandom entirely?
