It's always great when SU does narrative experiments inside its narrow runtime. The first time I watched this episode I was just warming up to the show and I remember being really impressed that they fit this Inception-esque nested flashforward into ten minutes of storytelling, and that they had thought to do so in

Well they already dropped Dracula Untold from being part of it so maybe there'll only be three movies in the continuity at any given time as they keep trying to get the franchise engine to turn over.

It's an incredibly roundabout way to make an even worse version of LXG.

In this context I think Aleppo is just [generic virtuous thing] to serve as set up for SNL's continued baiting of him.
