I'm not surprised that "Vegas" appears both in the best 5 and worst 5. It was definitely a love or hate episode.

On the other hand, I'm surprised with EATG because to me, it felt mediocre and uninspired but not particularly awful either. I imagined it too average to be so controversial.

Problem with EatG it had a lot to prove. It was the season and series finale, along with being the 100th episode. I think if it was a season finale it would of gotten a lot better feedback from people. People have to understand, the ratings jumped big time, they thought there was going to be a 6th season. They even had the story for the Season 6 premiere ready to go. I think Season 5, for the last 2 eps were brilliant, but I wanted a 6th season. So much more potential.

Can't really think of a 5th 'worst' episode, the rest were just kinda average for me.

Why do people need to understand that? Ideally, every episode should be written to be the best it can be, not the best considering the circumstances, or the best considering the effort the writer may or may not have felt like putting into it. As a viewer, my only concern is how much I personally enjoy the episode. If it's lacking, it's lacking regardless of whatever off-screen excuses are offered.
