The second of the 3 stories in this episode follows the story of Lisa if she had witnessed Sideshow Bob murder bart in Cape Feare. Its a grim turn to the original back in 93, yet surprisingly a fun watch. They maintain a decent amount of comedy throughout the first section of that story, then manage to have a surprisingly cathartic and gruesome ending set to the revisited H. M. S. Pinafore track.

I feel like a more detailed, full episode- or at least two segment slot- coverage of the second story could have made for a more fully enjoyable experience, because the two other stories being told in this one are a little lacking. The NFT segment felt like the entire joke was that they were doing the segment in the first place, rather than any actual humor. The homer virus segment is retreaded ground with a surprisingly-lower quality. It also made me aware of how aged Harry Shearer's Smithers voice is, and I couldn't stop thinking about it all episode.

TLDR: Watch the second segment, trash the rest.

Wild Barts Can't Be Token: incredibly awful. Nothing about this felt like the simpsons...well aside from the pointless celeb cameos, meaningless 'hip' jargon, and flat jokes. Also, small nitpick, why couldn't the three hooded people reveal themselves as the three nerds from Homer Goes To College? Would've been a great callback, actually funny, and would've made a lot more sense than 3 random celebs since the nerds would probably be into NFTs! Ughh...what if.

Eig8t: great Cape Feare ref! Great twists! Great jokes! I genuinely would pay for this to be fleshed out into a full episode. I was cheesing the whole time! If the first segment was a 2, this was a 10. It felt like a completely different show written by a completely different crew with a completely better understanding of the show. LOVED IT!

3: funny concept. I enjoyed it. Leagues better than the first segment but not as good as the second. I think we could've used an actual ending where a cure was developed, but the ending we got was funny too. Good segment!

Overall, solid TOH but man that NFT segment really did a number on me. I don't think i'm overreacting either; i think it was that bad. It dragged the whole episode down a letter grade for me.

The first one is not that bad; they haven't really tackled NFTs before, but to admit it was lacking. The second one starts during the events of Season 5, episode 2 but what if Bob had realized Bart's plan and Lisa saw Sideshow Bob killed Bart brutally. The first thing that I like about this is the simple fact that it is a murder mystery. The second thing is the concept; imagine being Lisa in Ei8ht. Has this ever happened to you? You see your brother get killed on October 7, 1993, and then on October 7, 2023, a cop asks you to inspect multiple bodies, with the only words being "was the first." Then you realize the pattern, which is that they were all firstborns and had to go to an abandoned warehouse with meat hooks. The cop with you splits up and gets killed. You go to the security room, which looks just like your room, and you discover that you were the killer all along. You can't do anything about it because the killer is you. If you tell anyone, you go to jail; if you don't, you have to deal with the fact that you have multiple personalities for the rest of your life. Okay, I won't talk about the first one as long as I talked about the last one. The Plot of having multiple Homers has been done before In Send in the Clones, a virus taking over the world has been done in Don't Have a Cow, Mankind, and Dial Z for Zombies.
