We fans have really big differences of opinion.
I was stunned then I first see it, even worse than the puke contest between Mr C and the real Dougie Jones, which the last won in the form of a one-way ticket to the Blacklodge.
Seriously it's as if a mini Yoda floating in the air said Luke to take all the money and run off. Quirky, yes, but you can't mix goofy humor with the most magical element of the show without ruining it.

To introduce the new hero of TP, the one who will Defeat Mr C in episode 18 with his magical green glove? At that point I don't give a damn anymore, and will be happy with an utterly crazy ending (characters singing, Tammy Preston pole dancing in a thong...). As the proverb says:
Plus on est de fous, plus on rit.
