I gotta say, the best way issues are taking place on The Simpsons these days, the long-running TV cartoon comedy feels prefer it has extra in widespread with Breaking Dangerous or The Sopranos than the rest.
You would possibly bear in mind on the finish of Season 36, when the present made the stunning determination to depict Marge Simpson’s demise within the far-off future — briefly creating one thing of a longtime canon inside a present the place the characters haven’t aged in any respect throughout greater than three a long time.
Fortunately, Season 37 is underway, and good ol’ Marge is alive and properly — however throughout the latest episode “Sashes to Sashes,” which aired on Nov. 16, the present’s overlords spilled yellow-colored blood but once more and did away with one other longtime Springfield resident.
The deceased in query? First Church of Springfield organist Alice Glick, who keeled over mid-organ-pump within the opening minutes of the episode. (Maybe you recall her pump-work from this iconic scene within the Season 7 episode “Bart Sells His Soul.”)
And in contrast to Marge, it would not sound like Alice might be returning quickly — or ever, for that matter. “In a way, Alice the organist will stay perpetually, by means of the attractive music she made,” the present’s co-executive producer Tim Lengthy informed Leisure Weekly in an announcement. “However in one other, extra vital sense, yep, she’s useless as a doornail.”
Wow. RIP to an actual one, I assume. If solely there have been a gang of roving Homers to assist followers take care of their grief…
