Was The Oracle from The Matrix the "new Dee?"

[edit] Nope. She died in 2001.

Thank you, "Pepe Silvia". I agree; the episode was a tad off in terms of quality (1 out of 8 episodes is not so bad). The approach of a "bottle episode" was too jarringly obvious. Is the show trying to set up a unnecessary romance between Dennis and Mac?

I thought it was ok, maybe not the best thus far, but it was quite good to see some activity in the bar after getting ever more outlandish (in a good way) this season.

Almost seemed like a Season 2 episode...

It was a great episode, even if a little odd at the end. It had that classic Sunny formula: Dennis sets some kind of task/scheme/goal for the gang to pull off, but he can't get any of them to perform their assigned role because each of them is fixated on some bizarre personal obsession.

I thought it was the best of the season. After a rocky start, the season seems to just keep getting better.

I liked it too. This and the waterpark ep are my favs of the season.
