Never trust a weirdo
Dec. 13th, 2004 02:47 pm( Religion quiz results )
Regarding last night's Simpsons episode, I thought it was all right, but probably the weakest of the "regular" episodes (i.e., everything except the Treehouse of Horror) so far this season. I liked the way it started out, with Bart's midlife crisis. His fantasy-turned-insurance-commercial and the Viking burial for his toys were clever touches. The magician/agent was good for a few amusing moments, especially in terms of Homer's reactions to him ("Wow, you broke and entered!" and the comment about being excited about a weird older man becoming interested in his son). The resolution also managed to tie in the subplot with Homer and Lisa, which was good. Only one part of the plot was actually resolved, though. Homer never got his job back (although that's pretty much to be expected by this point), and we never find out how Lisa fared at the science fair. Aside from that, though, I didn't really notice anything particularly wrong with this episode, which is good. It just wasn't AS good as the last three. (If I had to choose, I'd probably say the Nelson one was the best so far.)
I haven't been playing Mario and Luigi quite as much recently as I had been in the past. I'm currently trying to get through Joke's End. I have to say that I hate the parts where you have to get past those spiky rolling barrel-type things. I thought I was done with those after retrieving the pearls for the Jellyfish Sisters, but then they reappeared farther on in Gwarhar Lagoon, as well as at Joke's End.
