eh, i feel the zircon joke was dated. back in 2000 yeah, the two parties were similar in policy and appeal, but today they’re pretty damn different.

pretty sure it was a Bowie parody who sang Mr. Universe.

humanity’s always been used to gems, they’ve done weird things in and out of BC and no one ever comments.  my theory is that there’s a subconscious aversion to acknowledging gems that came from the diamond blast.

nah, that’s just fandom. the same kind of review could be found after popular video game turned into a movie that isn’t super serious and brooding. also any star wars movie.

it’s “Mobius” not “Moebius.”  Moebius was the parallel evil sonic universe in the Archie comics.

i agree the harts is less lively, but i think that’s the point.  it’s clearly going for realism like KOTH, which also took some time to get its feet.  duncanville seems a little too much like the litany of other cartoons which didn’t make it, like napoleon dynamite, wacky, but not too wacky.

I’d give it a B, but having Betsy Sodaro automatically bumps it up to A-.  She is a treasure.

i think the first one was where bob mentioned the raccoon sanctuary next door while talking with mr. fishoeder.

so they’ve replaced martin’s voice actress?  I thought the thanksgiving of horror was the last episode she did before passing.

it was luanne’s side of the family who started the cracker business BUT kirk and luanne are COUSINS and the portrait is a really subtle reference to that (at least that’s how i interpret it).

you’d think lisa would have been a little more hesitant around dr. goodall considering what she did to those apes in her diamond mine.

the guy who legitimized dan crenshaw doesn’t get to accuse others of being embarrassing.

kinda thought Bort the Garj to come back.  It seemed like they were setting him up to have relevance later in the season.

they missed a HUGE opportunity to have Krieger turned into Crackers for a moment.

i really expected this to be shown as the REAL continuity, while the previous nine seasons were all dreams in that capsule.  It would have been resolved all the lingering plotlines in a delightfully unsatisfying way.

i just want a spinoff where frank and robert california fuck their away across asia.

with blackjack and hookers.  ...you know what, forget the series.

the 3 eyed crow can live for one thousand years, instead of a blood king they created a god-king anointed by the aristocracy. This feels like a lateral move at best.

next week’s chalkboard gag: “we will not defame upstate new york.”

the whole, “kill the head vampire and rest will fall” bit felt cheap.  far too easy a solution imo.
