I don't think it was written terribly, and I don't deny it connects in some ways to their present day plot but that doesn't stop it from feeling out of place. This so easily could've been the first episode of the season but I have to assume they knew people wouldn't watch the rest of the season if it were.
It was a hard watch for multiple reasons, and honestly there's not much here that couldn't have been put into a couple lines of present day dialogue. There's little extra benefit doing it this way. It's a massive momentum killer for a season that was going in an interesting direction before this. I hope next week is business as usual.
