   Ooh, well I have no idea where the idea for this episode came from but it was   
   certainly unlike what we've seen before. I liked it, as well as the way the   
   focus was largely off the family, and the more subtle nature of some of the   
   little gags (the cat    
   pipe, Maggie voting, Dopey ear wiggle) in addition to pretty fun moments   
   throughout.   
      
   DYN:   
   ...the opening sequence's cloud entry also had a princess (Penelope)?   
   ...Lisa's unwillingness to eat her vaguely soggy lunch seems uncharacteristic?   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   TABF04, TABF07: Elon Musk's recent adventure mentioned again (and with Richard   
   Branson in the episode, it's like the transportation mogul adventures)   
   AABF23: Homer's mentions of Studio 54, CBGB, The Roxbury bring to mind the   
   Brown Derby/that's-where-it-used-to-be moment   
   JABF06: Jon Lovitz as paparazzo seems to be the same as in this episode, or   
   else very similar   
      
   Meta stuff   
   -the princess counts to 5 on her fingers and has to use two hands   
   -"this is my first montage"   
   -Homer's argument to the king includes the point that you can't strangle a   
   girl (unlike the way he gets to do it to Bart, goes the implication)   
      
      
   Leonard Nimoy dedication   
   Yes, as Leonard Nimoy (9F10, 3G01) died last week, there was a quick   
   dedication to him with a still image from 3G01. This one was more prominently   
   placed (just before the executive producers), perhaps both because of his   
   greater fame and also because    
   putting it between the execs and regular cast would split up the credits   
   music. As usual, I wouldn't expect it to turn up in the episode ever again.   
      
   Speaking of which, last week's 2/22 repeat of TABF05 (Bart's New Friend) was,   
   not surprisingly, aired without the quick "Je suis Charlie" graphic that ran   
   after act 3, so there's the report on that.
