   Fine? I think the episode tries to be more profound as a set of character   
   studies than it actually is. Also weird that with the tweak in episode order   
   we wound up with two wilderness survival stories in a row. The story of Martin   
   (and Bart) was fine    
   until the groan-inducing way he saved the day; Lisa's only-child fantasy came   
   to a sudden end for almost no reason. And are these additional character names   
   all new: Jimbo *Shapiro*, *Gareth and Gloria* Prince?   
      
   DYN:   
   ...Grey Griffin (new voice of Martin) has a new name?   
   ...the film student's phone doesn't seem to back up to the cloud?   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   1F06: Title makes the same reference   
   3F17: Put Milhouse in Dolph's place and you'd almost have the spring break   
   crew!   
   AABF22: Martin's on Focusyn (among other things)   
   BABF18: Some elements of both the horror movie shoot and reveal that it is one   
   are reminiscent of one here   
   2F03: At the end, Willie expected "the wee fat one" to have been eaten; one   
   supposes he means Martin, but in 2F03, he thought of Bart as "the little fat   
   boy" and we really can't rule him out either!   
      
   Meta   
   Homer wonders if he even has toenails (indeed, they are usually not seen on   
   Simpsons characters)   
      
      
   NASCAR update   
   Same story as last week: the race ran long (into overtime, if that's any   
   different from last week) and didn't actually end until almost 7:30. Coverage   
   ran for another ten minutes or so; at 7:40, a Call Me Kat title sequence ran,   
   and at almost 7:42, that    
   show's repeat was joined in progress. The 7:00 third airing of QABF19 (The   
   Wayz We Were) didn't run here in the east, though if last week is any   
   indication, it will run in some western time zones. I did hope to determine   
   whether it was time compressed    
   and whether it retained the dedication from the second airing (probably not).   
   Maybe I'll find out!
