The first half was a little funny in its own way. Other than the food, which looked extremely delicious, the biggest merit of this episode was the conversation between Gruyere, Wein, and Ninym. The talks about God and scriptures--- it's definitely the highlight of this. There's a mild surprise after, though, which I honestly think ruined the entire conversation. But if they're taken as two separate things--religious and political-- I think the merit stands.
