    Good Choice: Finding out that Ralph was Wiggums son.
    Bad Choice: Selma adopting Ling. She's pretty much non-existent nowadays.

    Oh man do I agree. I mean, opposites do attract, but just don't last. They are basically polar opposites (Edna & Ned.) And it's completely out of character for both of them. I honestly think the Simpson's legacy is too important to be subject to voting. While watching the episode where they end up staying together, the whole time I was waiting (and hoping) for them to fall apart. Much to my dismay, such wasn't the case. I was genuinely surprised, and not in a good way. It's just not realistic. Naturally such a reason wouldn't hold water in just any cartoon, but we know the Simpsons is an exception. (If not the only one.)

    I'm going to say that Edna and Ned is good...at least at the moment. My hope is that she makes him more accepting and less super fundie conservative Christian.

    Good: Lisa becoming a vegetarian

    I'm going to play devil's advocate here, and disagree. While I enjoyed bachelor Apu, I think having kids helped him grow as a character. The put-upon dad version of Apu is at least as funny, plus the kids open up different storylines for him. Not saying they're all gold or anything, but they make for some variety.

    And even so, saying that Apu's kids ruined him only applies when his kids are in the scene. Apu by himself in the store, is still... Apu by himself in the store, just like in the classic era. Of course the writing sucks now blah blah blah, but you get what I mean.

    Initially... good for the characters, but I notice some people interpret it as good for the show.
    Well, whatever the thread keeps rolling.

    That episode (I forgot the name), It also kind of ran into the episode "Boy meets curl". if you've seen the episode, you'd know how things start making no sense when looking back at the older episodes.
    Last summer I revisited the tightly-packed, but hearty streets of Taipei. I'm a foreigner in Taipei and I was hesitant to go, but it's full of uniqueness upon arrival. Every street corner, shop-filled of savory summer treats. The urban zone; some parts tattered but still colorful. We hiked the rolling mountains and hills, experiencing the humid, tropical air of Asia-- stretches of tiny shrines are seen across the terracing hills. Waves after waves of hikers rested on wooden benches and portable tables, sat and enjoyed socializing with dry pumpkin seeds and small cups of herbal tea. It was so different, but yet the people are so full of connections to my home in Canada and Denmark.

    This is my admiration-- Enjoy new horizons. Explore.

    The Principal and the Pauper

    I personally liked that Boy Meets Curl retconned it.

    And wasn't it the original Seymour? I mean... the one we saw in The Principal and The Pauper?

    ...Tamzarian.

    Although I want to forget that name, I just do not succeed in doing just that.
