There was nothing particularly striking about this episode -- if anything it felt sort of like a table setting entry from ReBoot. On the other hand, the tables being set were far more interesting than more of Dot agonizing unconvincingly over which Bob she would be with.
I have to admit, I didn't terribly care for the prior Rocky the Rabid Raccoon episode, but the part of the episode featuring his game was much more enjoyable this time around. I don't know if it was evincing the style of Tom & Jerry more than Roadrunner, the greater sense of inventiveness with the cartoony, Rube Goldberg machine set pieces, or if the improved animation helped to better depict the Looney Tunes style, but it was much more fun this time around. The random Star Wars parodies didn't do much for me, but otherwise it was entertaining.
And Glitch-Bob's attempts to split himself from Glitch were interesting as well. There was a clear motivation, his various plans for how to do it cohered with things we'd seen previously on the show, and there was some small but subtle pathos to it as well. Here is Glitch-Bob taking great risks because someone he cares for deeply can't accept it. There's something very sad about that, and it makes it meaningful when his tear-splitter plan goes awry at the end.
To the same end, there's also something forboding about Bob Classic at the end of the episode. Maybe I've just seen too many stories about evil twins and doppelgangers and the like, but there was an air of quiet menace to the whole thing.
