Definitely. That's what I was talking about last week, too - the show knows that it's being predictable, so it works more carefully on getting to the climax than the climax itself. We know what's going to happen; we just don't know how, and that's where all the fun in the episode lays.

I like "The Pony" because it's such a simple episode. It's such a classic, overdone idea, but the show is able to make it fresh by injecting it with something undeniably distinct. "The Misunderstandings" was great too, but the fact that the episode just sort of ends - I get the joke, but it just doesn't work that well - makes it feel a bit underdone. TAWOG is one of those shows that knows how to make a proper ending too, so it feels off that they couldn't figure out something a bit more exciting to end the episode with.
