  • Notes for 35ABF19 (The Past and the Furious)

    Hey, it's another streaming-only episode! Well, as keep-trying-to-fix-time-travel-mistakes plots go, this wasn't too bad, especially staying very focused and close to major characters. Maybe I'm
    just becoming more savvy or maybe the "Wuhu" menu's explicit labeling of
    this as a fantasy episode was very helpful, but it was nice to know this
    was part of a separate reality/set of rules... since the hypnosis/time-travel/quantum-leaping would otherwise be a bit silly.
    Nice that this had a little room to breathe, too, clocking in at a bit
    over 22 minutes vs. the typical 21.5 broadcast max these days. A few
    good gags as well, though I take issue with some of the loose linguistics.

    Previous episode stuff
    4F12: Homer claims Marge keeps leaning on Cheap Trick but he seemed to
    be the fan before
    9F07: Barney specifically mentions having used to be the Plow King
    (Many episode stills in "Wuhu" menu with cheeky categorizations)

    Speaking of streaming
    It's interesting (to use a certain someone's favorite word) that 7F24 is
    still banished from streaming, FXX reruns, etc., while TABF04 is
    suffering no similar fate, even as the subject of ITS adulation, well...
