   Notes for RABF10 (Dark Knight Court)

   Well, OK. Not much to say - plot(s) seemed fine, etc. I'm not sure why   
   2013 was the year for the Janet Reno guest spot we've all been waiting   
   for, though. More silly gags than I like, by the way, like a   
   helicopter somehow crashing into the bat signal... I mean, really...   
      
   DYN:   
   ...Lisa suggests that Bart's previously ruined Halloween,   
   Thanksgiving, and Christmas - the last two we've seen, but despite the   
   many Treehouses of Horror, not really Halloween?   
   ...the Dr. Lenny character doesn't seem to be a verson of our Lenny   
   (am I missing something)?   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   7F22: Moe tearfully recounts the "Mike Rotch" gag (though he doesn't   
   quote exactly; the original had a "lately" at the end)   
   DORIS   
   HABF15, JABF02, KABF06, LABF08, MABF12, NABF11, NABF13, NABF15,   
   NABF16, PABF06, PABF15, PABF19, RABF03, RABF09, RABF10   
   IT KEEPS GOING. It isn't the first set of consecutive episodes, but   
   while NABF15/16 aired as season finale/premiere, this is the first one   
   to air a week after the previous one. Oddly, Willie refers to "Dora";   
   was that a joke I didn't get, or are we to take this as a separate   
   character?   
      
      
   Goofs   
   -Both the speed and light and Faraday constant need units to get a   
   useful number, though at least the value used for the latter is in the   
   standard units of C/mol.   
   -Smithers tells Burns that he just turned down the first chance to be   
   of real help (with Lisa), then moments later seems to know that the   
   "Dr. Lenny" situation was real?   
      
   Meta   
   -Matt Groening is the courtroom artist who can't draw Bart at all   
   (which we see with an appropriately Matt-style sketch, plus its own   
   meta gag of "under indictment [underachiever] and proud of it, man!")   
   -Moe is traumatized by the embarrassment of Bart's prank calls, and we   
   see his despair when Bart is off the hook   
      
   Dedication   
   Keep a watch out for repeats - it wasn't in the usual spot, but there   
   was a dedication to a Reno before the copyright/production code   
   screen. I didn't catch all the text. Also Janet Reno's credit had   
   another name underneath it?   
      
   Also   
   The new episode of The Cleveland Show (California Dreamin' (All the   
   Cleves are Brown) (3APS23)) right after this one had a small subplot   
   about Junior rallying people who wear superhero costumes in LA to   
   actually do some crimefighting, and there were a few Batman types   
   among them. Fun.
