Really liked this one, loved the music and Italian Job / Ocean's 11 parody.

Is the basis for this episode rooted in any real-life examples?

That was good. And it was fun. The part at the end where Gaiman made himself the author cracked me up.

I liked all the jokes and references in this one. It seems the writers aren't quite as lazy as they had been in recent seasons.

But the highlight for me was the smoking dinosaurs in one of the rooms they ran by at the beginning. I have a shirt with this Larson cartoon on it so I recognized it instantly!
