   Matt Garvey to All   
   Notes for QABF05 (Diary Queen) and dedic

   From: mxg77@po.cwru.edu   
      
   I like the core idea, that Bart could be inspired to do better by   
   misunderstanding Mrs. Krabappel's diary, and the resolution that Ned knew she   
   did see his potential regardless - but however they did it (painstakingly   
   pasting together words from past    
   episodes, amazingly apt unused old takes?), I find the "resurrected" voice   
   work a little too eerie, being both too late (over 7 years now) for this to   
   seem like part of the aftermath and grieving process, and too soon to   
   implement a clever reconstruction.   
    This would have been a lot better without Edna's voice - and also without the   
   (here we go again) sad retrospective ending. (Other parts I could have done   
   without, too, so it still wouldn't have been stellar, but better.)   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   8F16: recreated(?) tableau of Edna being "stood up" by Woodrow in montage at   
   end   
      
   Meta whatever   
   Edna is shown, at the end, watching The Bob Newhart Show, on which Marcia   
   Wallace starred.   
   Blackboard gag about missing Mrs. K. stuck in at very end.   
      
   New voice cast   
   I guess Julio is too non-white, or else Hank Azaria forgot how to sing, so   
   here's Mario Jose. Oddly, Hibbert seems to be a holdout still, or else it's a   
   VERY good impression.   
      
      
   Speaking of death (not Maggie, or the cat, or Maggie again): fleeting   
   dedications added to episode RERUNS again!   
   1/31/21's second airing of QABF01 (Sorry Not Sorry) added a dedication to   
   Larry King (with a screenshot from 2F02).   
   2/7/21's second airing of QABF03 (A Springfield Summer Christmas for   
   Christmas) added one to Cloris Leachman (with a screenshot from 7F21).
