   That felt really solid. The hipsters and so on were really getting   
   annoying, but that was the point after all. Am I surprised in the   
   least to see a Matt Selman exec credit (his 4th if I'm not missing   
   any)? No. The sense of danger at the overtaking of the town (and its   
   being played for drama, if lightly) was well-done in particular. I'm   
   still not crazy about the clouds-only opening style, but considering   
   the episode was at the current max length and there was plenty in it   
   already, I'll let that one slide.   
      
   DYN:   
   ...it's rated TV-14 (DLV)? (I was going to assume it was for the   
   breastfeeding scenes, but wouldn't those be S? Maybe D.)   
   ...there was a *lot* of post-animation line replacement?   
   ...Homer grew his hair back awfully quickly after he broke up with the   
   cool family?   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   AABF06: Seems Homer also has a taste for music sold at car washes   
   3F21: Theme of Homer wanting to be cool (though done very differently,   
   including the kids' reactions)   
   1F13: Star Trek fight music played   
   9F15: Burns' old-timey electricity reminiscent of the atom-splitting   
   scene in that ep   
      
   Meta   
   The discussion of The Onion made me think of the show's habit of jokey   
   headlines, though (unlike in EABF12) this was not mentioned.   
      
   Don: Episode did start on time for me.
