I'm not going to call this a return to form just yet, but it's looking like it.
Who ever messed up season two seems to have either learned their lesson or been replaced by someone who understands the strengths of this show and what works and what doesn't.
Firstly the comedy is stronger, makes more sense and is kept on track with the whole premise. The long established childishness of Harry is a rich seam, and they mined a couple of nuggets from it in this episode.
Secondly, we've got a decent story brewing, sort of. Not sure about the Grey's motivation and hoping we don't overshoot the mark with earth bombs and global networks of things.
I did like the portals and the new character at the end, but the true task is to keep it local and believable while making it entertaining. No need for light sabres and x wing fighters, keep it to they move amongst us.
