Not because it had emotional connection or topical subject matter, no, I mean it was really difficult to keep the episode running and not switch it off.
Now we know why the good actors are sticking around for this stinking sinking ship. They're allowed to practice their directing skills on this summer camp of a series. Alycia Debnam-Carey's turn this week and, was it any good. Hard to tell as the material was so bad.
As others have noticed it's the same plot point over and over. Daniel's dementia, and the others running round in circles in order to placate him.
It wasn't interesting the first time they used it way back in the second season and it's no more interesting 5 seasons later.
It all seems a diversion to hide the fact they've got no story arc. They've got nothing to say but they've still got to fill the space.
