I've read the lars trans post and it has a lot of compelling evidence imo.

steven never seemed upset by the idea of the rebellion until he found out about pink diamond. That seems to be what's bothered him this whole time (that and not being told about it). Given how bubbling works as a great way to imprison gems, i've read it as his concern being that she unnecessarily went too far.

the war criminal line was both really funny and confirmation that gem shattering is supposed to be equivalent of committing a war crime, not the equivalent of killing. Since the shattering of pink diamond (and especially with Bismuth) there's been an argument that the show is trying to say that people shouldn't stand…

bazinga, or some misspelling if you're being ironic.

the best part had to be Tina's alien rendition turning into freaky friday on a dime and it completely working. That is not n angle many people would have expected and it was wonderful.

I'm sure this will have aged well

exactly, heh, heh, heh. …doh!

it's not kurns stupid, it Mr. Snruk.

last season's electoral map and use of selena as blue and her opponent as red made it pretty clear she's a dem.

This isn't a big thing, but the joke about Hillary not visiting PA was wrong, she went to PA a LOT. They understood the necessity of the state and poured lots of resources into the state. Wisconsin was the one she didn't visit enough (and Michigan). Again, not a big thing, but if felt like they had a joke they…

Sons of Tuscon, new on fox? When was this? I watch Fox all the time and never heard of this.

he had a short term substitute a few years ago when they all went to burning man. the teacher was eventually fired and got a job at the prison where he met sideshow bob.

parodying the original pokemon theme song probably just makes it seem even more ancient since that song is almost as old as the simpsons. modern pokemon fans probably don't even know of the original theme song.

is this the simpsons' first take on pokemon? If so, not bad, it only took 20 years.

greg baldwin sounded better in this episode and seems to be a bit better in every episode. He's no Mako, but whatever's missing is becoming a little less noticeable. Or maybe he was purposefully having it sound different since aku wasn't yet in his ME-laiiiiiiiisee yet. Or maybe my expectations are just lowering…

seems like time travel has become a big theme this season. timeless on nbc, time after time on abc, making history on fox and now this.

let's just cut to the chase and fast forward to sean hannity press secretary already.

joe scarborough. He is simultaneously a partisan prick with enormous political blind spots engaging in some of the worst of the childish modern conservatism (blaming obama for racism, white people have it worse, taking sides in partisan battles that have no explanation other than partisanship). Worse, he constantly…

they sure advertised this episode.

so that was a thing we all read.
