I love the fact that it pissed off the Nolan dorks though. I feel I'm biased to the point where I'm not really in a position to say it's a great episode but I don't really think there's any way you could hate this episode unless you're insecure about someone criticizing The Holy One's Perfect Piece of Cinema.

It was a pretty straightforward criticism of the movie too. I remember with "Cartoon Wars" a lot of people were in denial and felt Trey and Matt couldn't REALLY hate "Family Guy" and I'm sure some of that is going around, though I'm not really seeing it here. I may check out the IMDB boards because I'm sure there are people out there who have themselves convinced that they couldn't possibly hate The Greatest Most Awesome Movie Ever Made. I do definitely get an "I hate this episode because they trashed something I love" vibe from this thread though.

"Yes, you are hurting sheep by hoarding them."

Yes. But were they trying to get away with ripping it off? No.

Well, their excuse is that they had 6 days total to do the entire episode. I agree that it was extremely lazy and very stupid, but I don't think they were trying to get away with ripping anyone off (as someone accused them of). I think to make it up to the CH people, they should hire them as writers, or at least pay them royalties from that episode.
