   Notes for SABF13 (Days of Future Future)

   Ehhhhh. Kinda funny but nothing to connect to. Also it seems odd that there   
   was no setup or framing device to send us into the future, so that was kinda   
   confusing. And I don't care that much for zombies, so that doesn't help.   
      
   DYN:   
   ...Homer's Mac-busy-beachball is a knockoff design?   
   ...Nelson's mom is apparently 57 now (if she's 87 here)?   
   ...Lisa is apparently happy to rely on Milhouse for self-defense?   
   ...a 4-eyed fish?   
   ...Maggie is dining with Gerald 30 years in the future?   
      
   Previous episode stuff:   
   GABF12, NABF18: continuation of this particular future continuity   
   DABF19: many Homer clones   
   8F22: family at Homer's burial pretty similar   
   8F01: abbreviation of "brevity is the soul of wit"   
      
   Other references   
   Among other things I didn't get or am omitting: I think a few bits of Homer's   
   simulation were a reference to Max Headroom, such as only doing his head, the   
   way Frink stutters on words (like "fat") while explaining it, and also the way   
   Homer moves from    
   screen to screen through the house.   
   Also, Gort (The Day the Earth Stood Still) at The Gilded Truffle.   
      
   Goofs   
   -Abe is drawn with his current design in the self-driving car gag, not the   
   even-older design seen earlier in the episode   
   -Jenda's text complaining about Bart probably shouldn't have quotation marks   
   around it   
      
   Also   
   There was apparently a fan couch gag again (with the floor made of bubble   
   wrap); would that have been different in Canada, like in RABF17? Or was it not   
   a fan but a guest?
