Ok I do get it.

Warning: Spoilers
The artistry and tightly crafted script are amazingly executed in this episode. I love it when IM starts talking about "controversy," and there's a lot of things that are just so illuminating--for those who care and have the eyes to see it.

Yes, it requires a bit of a refined pallette to appreciate it. That's the way it is folks. Sometimes that's life.

Look, it's like such an ornate, beautiful, layered episode like a matroyshka doll. It just keeps giving and giving. I APPRECIATE this episode in the way that I might appreciate a 15 minute walk through a baroque era house, admiring the finely crafted wood, the ornate decorations, the furniture, the stairs--but it's not home.

It's just kind of not entertaining I guess (which is weird for IM, can't think of any other films of his I wasn't interested in, and I've seen Gods and Monsters). At least not the way I normally like Family Guy. Pointedly no cutaways--like, conspicuously. I like cutaways, they make me laugh. I didn't turn on family guy to see an arts and entertainment level theater production. I do however believe this could be a part of art history and theater classes 500 years from now.
