    OK future episode, but nothing special. Nice way to explore a
    plotline
    the usual ages don't support. At least it was not trying to be
    something

    After watching it, I am half-hoping maybe they are considering this a
    "pilot" for advancing the age of the characters by a few years. One
    thing

    episodes was how they aged Milhouse. He is normally still short but
    has
    facial hair or something. In this episode he was tall and almost
    looked
    like he could have been drawn by someone else (i.e. like some of the

    Previous episode stuff

    I also wondered what was wrong with Sarah Wiggum's voice.
