Even though I don't really like the religious foundations of Lisa's suddenly intense morality, it is pretty realistic for Lisa at this point in time, and "Commandment" is a pretty great episode all-around; very funny, engaging, and sweet without being preachy or forced.
And you all know how much I hate "Lisa the Simpson", which sends out a terrible message, pretty much shits all over Lisa's character, completely undermines all her hard work to be intelligent, to learn, to do well in school, and to consciously and purposefully make herself who she is over the series' run. For Lisa to be happy that she has a magical gene to make her intelligent is a really bad characterization for her too.
