Habeas Tortoise

Honestly, this was an extremely forgettable episode. There was nothing special in it. The plot itself was very uninteresting and I didn't laugh once. It's a shame since the older episodes make me constantly laugh but these new episodes ...they simply aren't just funny.

A very weak start for the new Simpsons season. The new episodes are weakening at same rate as Marges voice (seriously, compare the current Marges voice to older episodes, the current Marges voice sounds like she constantly has sore throat).

But in my opinion, this episode is Simpsons at its worst. The show is barely even watchable anymore.

I dont comment very regularly, and it's too often when I profoundly dislike a movie or show episode. But the treatment that the Simpsons gave to a very sensitive subject in this S34Ep1 felt very appropriate to me, without any heavy moralistic and judgemental stance taken but a more "wholesome" and restrained one, maybe - and really worth commenting on.

There is a fine and intelligent exploration of what is too commonly and dismissively called "complotism" these days, but also a great character exploration and development for Homer. And Bart and Lisa, heck, even Marge! Are surprisingly "philosophical" and poundered on this one.

The episode might not be packed with humor but it's still present, and strikes hard when it does (the very last joke omg!). Overall, I'm surprised by the mastery, soundness and maturity. Very well done. I can only hope that there is room for much more goofiness in other episodes of the season though ;-)

The last season final was awful, with its song and dance about one side being bad and the other side being good. We all know what sides I am talking about and the fact you would, shows how poorly written things are now. I gave this one last chance but it failed miserably.

After 30 years I'm out.

The Simpsons used to just be overly formulaic but now it is overly formulaic and anti anything mainstream media and politicians say is wrong.

The show seems to be this. If you agree with anything Lisa would believe, then you are good and on the right side of, whatever the writers think. If you don't, you are an uncultured and naive buffoon.

A fall that has gone splat on the ground.

A big part of the Simpsons, emphasized in one of the worst episodes ever last season, is that the world has changed immeasurably since the Simpsons started. The single income family doesn't really exist anymore, making The Simpsons a bit of a fantasy.

The show should've stopped long ago, but since it's clear they're not going to stop until one of the main cast dies (and since AI voice synthesis has already replaced Darth Vader in some areas, I'm not even sure that will stop it.) they're doing whatever they can to keep the show modern and relevant. Unfortunately the writing talent is so poor that they think Homer name dropping Tik-Tok is a good means of accomplishing this.

The Simpsons has always been an escape for me, and don't want America's awful current political climate echoed to me in cartoons. It's not even cleverly done, so every plot beat is incredibly predictable. It ends up being a boring slog where you watch returning Simpsons characters navigate a re-framing of our current reality, but without any stakes and with average at best jokes thrown in.

The couch gag was OK, but a tech reference like Google Chrome's lost connection game just seems to me like more evidence of their desperation to stay relevant.

I have long disliked what the Simpsons have become, However i will admit when a fun Episode comes alone unlike haters we see in the reviews of this episode. This episode was a genuine fun episode, I enjoyed it, It was the first time in a long time where the whole family seemed supportive of each other, And no one tried to ruin things for their own agenda.. Looking at you MARGE.. With that said this episode was interesting, Fun, And a good viewing experience..

So why the Hate.. Well the Simpsons has become an easy target for haters.. Fans who hate Anything past season 8 come onto everynew new ep and bag it regardless, I refuse to be like that and If an episode is great i'll admit it if it sucks; I'll admit it sucks, This was a good episode..

As for the Ep Basically a Turtle goes missing from a Zoo and Homer and a few locals go Sleuthing. It's a fun little ep.
