   This felt more like a silly action movie than it should have. I've seen good   
   ungrounded episodes, and that's not the problem, but why not make the focus on   
   the consequences of Moe's revealing all the secrets? Or even keep the silly   
   anti-booze chemical    
   thing and examine the guys' sober lives besides a few punch lines? Or get more   
   into the secret bartender society? That seems more like classic Simpsons. (In   
   fact, I keep thinking of Homer the Great here as a basic template.) Also, by   
   the way, where do    
   the bartenders of these secret bartender bars go when THEY need to unwind? And   
   should there have been some subtitles for the skull bottle in the credits (see   
   also below)?   
      
   Meta   
   Moe thought that Barney worked at SNPP, and Carl mentions that it would   
   certainly lead to some "good stories".   
      
   And   
   The 7:00 repeat of QABF12 (Panic on the Streets of Springfield) dropped the   
   dedication to Edwin Aguilar, as expected, but was not compressed (even though   
   it was well over 21 minutes). Actually, I have heard of a strange extra-long   
   version of that episode    
   running almost 23 minutes (with the credits scene of Marge's past running on   
   its own and then a separate credits bit), and I don't know what to make of   
   that - including where it might have aired or streamed, etc. But with that on   
   my mind, I wonder if    
   tonight's episode has some extended format too, possibly with subtitles on   
   that final scene that got messed up in the shortening. Any leads?
