Unsurprisingly I didn't agree with all of his conclusions, but unsurprisingly, I think he has a good insight into what bothered me about the translation and time-travel of this ep :)

[1] No, really. Think about it. My theory is the entire episode was building up to this pun, but the producer pulled the plug at the last minute, hence the slightly aimlessness of the plot near the end, and the marvellousness of everything else where they ran around shoving in good ideas with abandon :)
