   This could have been pretty enjoyable, but it just didn't feel quite right.   
   Lisa felt fairly out of character when it came to the mitigation videos, the   
   videos themselves weren't quite right, and the resolution with the Welcome   
   Back Kotter keychain was    
   almost brilliant but then destroyed with a sledgehammer. A more happy ending   
   would have been neat, but a classic downtrodden Simpson resolution building on   
   that same idea after a longer journey to get there would have been welcome too   
   and better than    
   this. Oh well. Very short. Also, I really don't think anyone would agree   
   German is Earth's closest language to Klingon.   
      
   DYN:   
   ...there was nothing in the clouds even though it was a typical long-ish   
   opening?   
   ...one of CBG's giant novelty dice is inaccurate (3 and 4 pips on adjacent   
   sides)?   
   ...the waveform below the mitigation video in the editor isn't remotely   
   accurate?   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   7F21: CBG certainly didn't seem this obsessive about his Radioactive Man #1   
   way back when! (It was near mint, at least, at that point, right?)   
   2F20: Del Toro's repeated references to "Senor Burns" might be a slight nod at   
   the Tito Puente song

   Now you see it, now you don't   
   Last week's second airing of Daddicus Finch (YABF01), predictably, dropped the   
   Ricky Jay dedication, de-compressing the credits back to their typical length.   
   Now you know. Fun additional fact: Ricky was the subject of a clue on Jeopardy   
   a few weeks ago,    
   in a round with a category about 2018 deaths, but not part of that category.
