The Simpsons finally learn to cook for forty humans.
Get their recipe here.
The Simpsonshad to go to another galaxy to beam down a classic episode.
Or was it another season?
Another reason to love the steady but firm hand of Al Jean on the series.
Jean co-wrote this episode, which is a singular highlight to this lackluster season.
And okay, theyve kinda played the Kubrick2001thing to death, but this is classicSimpsons.
The Simpsonsstart where they all began, kinda, at Dizzneeland, the happiest hell on earth.
Its funny how an episode made for another season can still be so relevant at any given moment.
Though, chestnuts like these are perennial.
Disney will always be a cash machine and a uniform never met a nightstick it didnt like.
Kang and Kodos live on Rigel VII now.
All the Rigelians look kinda like Principal Skinner to me.
AtDen of Geek, we always appreciate a goodStar Trekreference.
Tonights episode had a tribbleful.
Marge may be a blue lady from Orion but the Simpsons will never develop tentacles.
There are a lot of similarities between Dizzneeland and Rigel VII.
It is a small world, after all, and the escape is futile at both places.
Only the space broccoli are sensitive enough to empathize.
Lisa has never been that good at bouncing anyway.
Remember the trouble she had when she was bumped to second chair sax?
Well, the kids got talent, but come on.
As always, Homer does the right thing.
The sight gags were great tonight.
They even came with extra ketchup.
Some of the Dizznee rides threw me for a loop.
The subtly not-so-subtle threat from Fat Tony is the stuff Arthurian legends are made from.
Kang and Kodos rode the family in a pet carrier strapped to the top of their vehicle.
Touching in a way that is only possible for the tentacled.
Rigelian porn stars also have cheesy seventies mustaches.
Im torn between two minor lines as to my favorite.
the other line is about the Space Broccoli, which cried for six years after being stepped on once.
Though, like all Rigellians, there will forever be an empty space in my stomach for more.
