Yeah, this year (or Season 6 thus far for all intents and purposes), has been perfectly fine for the most part if not somewhat coasting during its middle portions. With that said, for better or for worse, I found that a lot it blends together and that only a handful really stand out. I will say that when an episode was really good, it was really good.

Interesting that "The One" has grew on you even if it was only by a slight amount since it first aired. I remember when it first aired you complained that the episode's focus need a bit more tightening. It is certainly an issue I have noticed with each viewing after it aired, with the ending being the ultimate symptom of that problem. However, I still appreciate its ambition with what it tried to do with Tobias, and the episode is just so comedically strong that it offsets that problem.

"The Shippening" just has such a fun air to it with the way it just indulges in the subject matter. It is less of "we're doing this because we can" feel that is common in a lot of this season's notorious jokes (the climax to the "The Understanding" or the chatbot scene in "The Silence" come to mind) and more of a genuine "we're doing this because we can." Granted, the subject matter is not for everybody, and given that you're just not into the fanfiction scene, I understand why the episode just doesn't click with you.

Yeah! "The Vegging" has grown on me! It's an interesting premise with amazing jokes. It also has great rewatch value to it. If I'm being honest, I think the episode is a little overlooked given just how strong it is.

"The Founder," on the other hand, is an episode I have warmed up to after the first viewing, and I think it is a good episode, but I just didn't find it as noteworthy as the other picks on this list. That's not to take away from its quality; episodes such as "The Anybody," "The Rival," and "The Slip" fall under the same boat for me— enjoyable episodes, but just not enough to make a list like this in my opinion.

Merry Christmas to you as well, dude! Hope it goes well for you!
