A Change of Pace Does it a Favor
Not unlike "22 Short Stories About Springfield" did years ago, changing the format once in a while can be a really strong play for the writers struggling to come up with a new concept after so many episodes. It does feel a little off for a Simpsons, maybe even a little too serious, but I'd rather have a heart filled episode that feels true to the characters than a episode trying to be funny but being untrue to the meaning of the show. I would call this a companion episode to "The Mysterious Voyage of Our Homer", the episode where a chili pepper send Homer on an acid trip through his mind led by a Johnny Cash voiced Coyote. That episode, like this one, feels a little too serious... but is ultimately an important character building episode. Marge's odyssey is a sweet and surreal trip through her fear of losing touch with Bart, which is right in character for her and gives the episode a proper weight of importance. It's a beautifully animated episode which results in a great emotional payoff. This kind of writing is sorely missed from modern Simpsons which I hope we get more of to make these final years salvageable. Could this also mean a simpson 3rd wave of a comeback? We had the first 12 years of classic Simpsons, then seasons 13-19 were mighty shaky, then a sudden come back of funny and cleverness around the time the movie came out Iike they changed over or something) season 20-26, then some really really questionable episodes season 27-34. Could 35 be the start of one final push of greatness? Maybe.
