  • Notes For 37abf07 (sepera

    From MIKE POWELL@3:633/10 to All on Friday, January 09, 2026 09:24:00
    Eh. What's it building up to? Nothing. A cynical summation can work
    but
    here it feels like a cheat of a rug-pull. And it doesn't even seem self-consistent, let alone consistent with the series; Homer wasn't
    an
    enervated zombie after work before (unless the idea is that he never
    works hard enough anyway), and neither was Marge after a long day.
    How

    IMHO, I think that the gag here is that there really was something
    implanted into their heads and the company lied about it. I have never
    seen the show that was being spoofed so I am not sure if there is any
    parallel there or not.

    I thought it wasn't a bad episode, not great but it did keep my
    attention.
