At first I was excited, thinking it was a sequel to "Ripper." However, when they started trying to incorporate all the other shows into one "clip show," it fell really flat for me, especially since there were a TON of inconsistencies between this and the other shows they were referencing.
Without the clips to sustain it, the writing and overall arc of this particular episode fails miserably. I think it could have been much better if they'd left the other clips out and worked a little more on the actual story (two aliens trying to convince a cop that they are the actual good guy). As it is, it's just lazy writing.
