User blog comment:Mattalamode/A Second Opinion: The Extras/@comment-30307603-20170216215640

Personally, I think the problem with "The Extras" is that compared to the other "vintage" episodes ("The Tape", "The World", "The Butterfly", "The Love", "The Compilation") is that as others described, it's lackluster. I wouldn't say it's boring, per say, as I found some enjoyment in some of the segments, specifically the interaction between the Parhams, the workplace joke, and yes, I legitimately liked the bit with the guys from "The Sweaters"), but, I think it just feels unmemorable compared to its brethren. It just lacks that "punch" the other episodes in this category have; I just don't get the same lasting impression.

Admittedly, I kind of feel the same way about "The Compilation", but "Weird Like You and Me" is honestly one of my favorite songs and moments in the entire show, so I give that episode a pass.

Looking forward to "The Dream". I doubt you're going to convince me to not see it as one of the show's worst episodes, but as you once told me, you like a good challenge, so I'm interested to see what you have to say.

I should probably start working on my review for this week's episodes no if I ever hope to capitalize on the popularity of "The Matchmaker" in a timely manner
