This episode started something that would later become very popular, especialy in the Jean era – three parters. The episode contains three different stories of each family member dreaming of themselves as Bible characters. I think the idea quite original and fun, although I’m not a religious person.
The first story of Adam and Eve is a classic and is probably the best of the three. Flanders was fantastic as God. Some of my favorite moments in this story is the pig of Eden offering ribs to Adam, branch monster, ‘’You’re pretty uptight for a naked chick’’ and the magazine God gave to Eve.
The second story is about Moses and Israelite slaves. Milhouse got the part of Moses, which I found rather strange. Nonetheless, the story was very funny, with many great jokes with Moses, like the one with converting. Also, some hilarious scenes made by Skinner (Pharaoh).
Homer’s short dream of being King Solomon was brilliant, but it was interupted by Bart’s dream of being Kind David. This last story was weaker than the rest of the episode, but it didn’t ruin it overall. The ending was absolutely incredible and made the episode even better, with the family waking up in the church, realizing apocalypse has come. All five are sent to hell, by the way…
