What was Homer doing so badly that made Marge as mad as she was? I mean, watching the restaurant scene, Homer is being his typical stupid self, but it's not like he's being an asshole towards Marge. I actually thought the walrus face was kind of endearing. Again, these marriage crisis plots are getting old, and it is very rare that they can be pulled off, so why event attempt them at all anymore?
Milhouse's story wasn't as bad, but as others mentioned it reeked of Love is a Many Splintered Thing, but at least we knew why a kid like Milhouse would know about Brando.
Man, I wish we got a fun episode tonight instead of a boring retread. As is, tonights episode was about on the same level as "The Changing of the Guardian". Inoffensive, yet boring and forgettable. I would have loved for another "Hardly Kirk-ing" where it was just plain fun and funny. Maybe the streak of episodes I've enjoyed (Hardly Kirk-ing through to Dark Knight Court) spoiled me. At least "Pulpit Friction" looks good, but like the teaser at the end of this week's episode said, gotta wait two weeks.
