This felt more like a silly action movie than it should have. I've seen good ungrounded episodes, and that's not the problem, but why not make the focus on the consequences of Moe's revealing all the secrets? Or even keep the silly anti-booze chemical
thing and examine the guys' sober lives besides a few punch lines? Or get more into the secret bartender society? That seems more like classic Simpsons. (In fact, I keep thinking of Homer the Great here as a basic template.) Also, by the way, where do
the bartenders of these secret bartender bars go when THEY need to unwind? And should there have been some subtitles for the skull bottle in the credits (see also below)?

Moe thought that Barney worked at SNPP, and Carl mentions that it would certainly lead to some "good stories".
And
The 7:00 repeat of QABF12 (Panic on the Streets of Springfield) dropped the dedication to Edwin Aguilar, as expected, but was not compressed (even though it was well over 21 minutes). Actually, I have heard of a strange extra-long version of that episode
running almost 23 minutes (with the credits scene of Marge's past running on its own and then a separate credits bit), and I don't know what to make of that - including where it might have aired or streamed, etc. But with that on my mind, I wonder if
tonight's episode has some extended format too, possibly with subtitles on that final scene that got messed up in the shortening. Any leads?
