How surprising that I thought that this was a pre-movie episode! Well, it's not really a surprise, considering it's really awesome (and comparable)! The plot is great, the humor is excellent, and it tackles a certain fear that I can relate to. The best part is, it actually handles and resolves the subject in a silly, but solid and sensible way, unlike a certain episode revolving around the darkness...
Overall, barring Atlantis Squarepantis, this episode is my favorite Season 5 episode. And not only is it one of the best post-movie episodes, it's also one of my favorite episodes, PERIOD.
