I've never actually come back to "The Compilation," nor felt any desire to come back to it, not even for "Nobody's a Nobody," which I honestly think functions as a means of hiding the episode's inherent flaws - there's almost a lack of confidence, on the writers' parts, in the episode, which is a bit distressing. It's not bad, in my opinion, but there's so little going for it because the episode didn't allow room for itself to become anything more.

Hey, it's just like I wrote about "The Picnic" a while back - it's not a problem with the humor so much as it fails to really reflect well on the show. It's hard to assess because of that because I think it works within what it wanted to do perfectly, but as for depicting the show itself? It sinks.

And yeah, "The Castle" is a solid, underrated little episode.
