Ah, so that's why Marge is so calm: She writes hate letters and never sends them. And she wrote a ton of them. She even wrote one to Tim Meadows! Liked seeing Artie Ziff and Lurleen again. She'd been hanging onto those letters for decades. I liked that the villain turned out to be Shauna. Definitely a scheme an angry, resentful teen would've thought of.

Fat Tony...is out of town, that's why Marge went to Patty and Selma for help. Loved that fake out.

It's weird to hear "mean bitch" and "angry milf" in this show. I liked how Homer asked if they could say (mean bitch) now. Marge telling Helen "kiss my ass"? That was pretty satisfying.

"You have a photographic memory? For an auditory interview?
"Yes!"

The ONE TIME Chalmers catches on to another aurora borealis...and he thinks Marge is coming on to him.

Oh, that's why she was announced now, she took over as Jimbo in this one.

I’m not just saying this because of Lent, but I really liked this episode! It was so refreshing for Marge to openly acknowledge her vindictive side, and finally owning up to the fact that it is hypocritical to act nice while suppressing your real feelings about people. 

Loved Tim Meadows’ cameo too.

Nice callback for the babysitter. 

We're shifting the timeline up a lot if Marge was a teen when Tim Meadows left SNL. 

Why couldn't Marge just use the money she gets every month?

Helen can go pound sand. Who ran up to Marge to brag about her cruise? 

The horses making out. Brilliant. 

The Van Houten woman is still blowing up Chalmer's phone. 

Yes! They even got Lovitz in there!

Floating timelines where Marge painted portraits of Tim Meadows instead of Ringo Starr.

In December of 1989 when the first episode broadcast half-hour aired, the Wall had fallen in the GDR a few weeks earlier. None of the eight children killed on 9/11 had been born.

35-and-a-half years is a long time...

It's official: Grampa is now canonically too young to have fought in WWII. And even when they're playing the Yankees, the Isotopes still can't fill a stadium. 

And of all languages...Maceconian. Yeah, sure, haven't done that yet. I'm gonna assume it was all accurate. I liked the joke that Walkov taught himself English by watching Family Guy. Baseball has been one giant ad for decades, but ads on the bases themselves were new. I was wondering when they'd get to sports betting (with ads for it being literally everywhere) and Walkov going all Pete Rose...and bam, right at the second act break. This was a long way to go to an anti-sports gambling story. Somewhere, Pete Rose is looking up, mad at how baseball treats gamblers now.

And hey, here's a good excuse to shoehorn Chris Rock and Danny Trejo into the show. And yet disgraced journalist Skinny Weinstein Matt Lauer got more lines than them. (EDIT: I was informed by Michael Price that Chris Edgerly voiced him)

MLB Team reasons for Aeropos to join:

-- Las Vegas A's -- Be part of our proud tradition of abandoning cities and play for us in Las Vegas ..... in three-to-four years.
-- Seattle -- Come play where there's no pressure to win!
-- Angels -- Play in the California Sunshine (that's not LA, San Diego, or San Francisco sunshine)
-- Twins -- When people hear "Minnesota", they think "Baseball"
-- Padres -- Play in the California sunshine (that's not LA, Anaheim, or San Francisco sunshine)
-- White Sox -- WHITESOX@FREE-LIBRARY-EMAIL.COM -- With you, we'd only be semi-terrible!

I liked that the Springfield tire fire sealed the deal for Aeropos to play in Springfield.

My city has an independent league team. I should go sometime. I thought the Isotopes were a minor league team?

Yes,  a bit part of Dancin Homer was Homer getting called up to the Capital City team.

This particular break of continuity bothers me more than it probably should.
