Strange Twists and Collapsing Ratings
“I’ve had one of my unpredictable changes of heart.” – C.M. Burns About three quarters of the way through “The Daughter Also Rises”, the episode took a weird turn. Lisa went to ask Grampa for advice, which led, without any setup whatsoever, to her, Grampa and “Nick” being chased by the police, which in turn lead to her and “Nick” rowing a boat out to an island. No reason is given for why things went from relatively sunny and untroubled to dire and suspenseful. They just did. Similarly, “Nick” went from being suave and charming and generally very Colin-from-the-movie to…

Use It or Lose It
“There’s something I used to do in this situation, but . . . can’t . . . remember.” – Bart Simpson “Ha-ho?” – Nelson Muntz Atrophy is a merciless bitch. Similar to entropy, it’s the rule that says every living thing, from people to protists, have to keep doing stuff to avoid becoming dead. If you stop using your legs, because of laziness or injury, pretty soon they’ll wither to nothing. Ask anybody who’s ever had to wear a cast about how quickly debilitation sets in. The same principle applies to creative endeavors like television shows. If you stop doing…

Synergy Half-Asses It (and Tacitly Admits Zombie Simpsons Sucks)
Not content this week to slurp at the company slop bucket merely by pretending to review Zombie Simpsons, IGN has run a series of quotes from Moe. There are eight quotes in total, of which only one is from Zombie Simpsons (it’s from Season 18). Of the seven that are not in Zombie Simpsons (although there’s one from Season 11’s “Pygmoelion” which is right on the line) only three of them are correctly quoted. The others are either missing important words or outright mangled. A cursory check of SNPP – SNPP! – would’ve gotten the correct quote in several cases,…
Quote of the Day
“Man, you go through life, you try to be nice to people, you struggle to resist the urge to punch ‘em in the face, and for what? For some pimply little puke to treat you like dirt unless you’re on a team. Well I’m better than dirt, I-well, most kinds of dirt. Not that fancy store bought dirt, that stuff’s loaded with nutrients. I, I can’t compete with that stuff.” – Moe
