      From: mxg77@po.cwru.edu              Um, police? I'd like to report a missing ending. This episode just sort of       stopped. Anyway, it had a promising start (if one that bends the reality of       the show in the way that can become either great or eyerolling), but totally       lost track. Also, why did        they make such a big deal about using a "Personal Value Quotient" that       explicitly is about more than booksmarts and IQ, then have all the       consequences of the rankings focus on smarts? Super duper duper short. (Also,       fun fact: someone submitted the        episode title to online resources as "Fink Gets Testy".)              DYN:       ...the significant look after "after the antichrist becomes president"?       ...in theory "AOK" (or "A-OK") shouldn't have a period after the A?       ...the rankings are given by first initial and last name, even though that's       incredibly likely to be ambiguous, and almost seems to set us up for a       Maggie/Marge confusion instead of the Bart/Homer one?       ...the writers seem to feel Smithers is going to wind up transgender for some       reason?              Previous episode stuff       3F08: survivors envying the dead       AABF18: Springfield Mensa       4F06: aborted "rebuttal song"       BABF01: the ark/evacuation and taking the most valuable members of society       (with Bart and/or Homer left behind)       LABF02: Lisa's struggle with the I-beam reminiscent of the cargo container       (though with a different scientific principle)       BABF11: "Jebus" (whose help this episode is beyond)              Don:       Football ran pretty long, then even longer, and eventually they just pushed       the whole thing to a nice round half hour (so this started in the 8:30 slot at       the usual slightly-early 8:29).              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
