Eternal Moonshine Of A Simpson Mind

The Simpsons' latest episode. An improvement from the season's quality?

Eternal Moonshine Of A Simpson Mind


This episode was a slight improvement from the last episode, and among the best of the current season. However, it wasn't a perfect episode, but very impressive. The episode was funny throughout, with entertaining jokes - the Duff blimp, the Forget Me Shot, Homer having a nose bleed, the dog attacking Homer being somewhat entertaining and more. The entire marriage crisis was a mystery, which was an awesome idea; not ruining characterisation, and keeping the quality straight. However, when it reached the 'surpise party' theme, things started to fall; it wasn't expected, and worked, but didn't work perfectly, and failed in the emotional aspects.

The animation is worth highlighting here; it's maybe the best on the season. It provides some awesome standout, and it really shines several jokes, such as Moe being freeze-framed. The previous episodes refrences was a delight, and was entertaining. There wasn't many cringeworthy jokes during the first and second act; except the silly 'Apu as Homer's first kiss' scene, that was so... hateful. The last act wasn't that beautiful, but was an understandable mystery. Its excution of its 'cleverness' was nice, but nothing special. Patty & Selma's character was certainly classic, too.

But he best part was the beautiful, hilarious and lovely YouTube Homer's life video. Not only it brilliantly parodied the ending of YouTube videos, it standed out with an excellent music montage, some neat animation, some great background jokes and some stunning direction. The ending was great, with 'The End?' being an unexpected finisher. Overall, this episode was great, and was very realistic. The jokes also managed to be very interesting and funny.

A-

Total note: Best episode since season 18's "24 Minutes", and a modern classic so far. The season is managing to be an improvement, with some great episodes, if a little incosnsistant.
