When series creator Justin Roiland was replaced and removed from the show the series could have been unaffected if the writers had talked to fans about what storylines they thought were the most interesting; the Pupa/Ayiesha's adventures, and the wall. So far in this season we have gotten a lot of the aliens and fleeting glimpses of the zeniths of the series, which is getting repetitive, the dialogue is getting clunky, and this episode specifically overuses the "meta" trope. I counted 5 meta references and it felt annoying, tired, and frankly boring. They do not beed their old writer, they need to focus on the cream of the crop with this show, and I hope they find it quickly because I do not see the show continuing if the content continues to decline. The magic is there but the fans might not be.
