    They just ran out of good ideas it seemed. I don’t remember exactly which season it was, either 3 or 4 I think, where basically every episode felt like only a slight variation on the same theme.

      Yes, the “copy a brain into a computer then torture it” run. Some good episodes there, but they went back to that well too many times.

          I disagree actually, I think that episode exemplified the problem I was talking about. Enshittification is such an old problem now that this episode was just totally devoid of any bite or shock value. Maybe 10 years ago that idea would have been good, but in today’s world it was just like reading the news.
