    "Perfect"
    By Iverson82094, Jun 15, 2011 Report Abuse
    In this year's spooky series of Halloween stories, Bart discovers that he has a special new sibling, Lisa discovers that she is a God to a race of tiny people, and the American people discover that Bill Clinton and Bob Dole are actually aliens Kang and Kodos. In the first segment, Bart investigates noises from the attic and learns that his formerly conjoined twin, Hugo, is locked up there. Hugo is a wild, fish head-eating savage who was locked away because Dr. Hibbert determined that he was evil at birth. When Hugo captures Bart and tries to sew himself back together with his brother, it's up to the doctor to save the good twin. But can he tell for sure which is which? In the second tale, Lisa generates microscopic life inside a plastic tub that quickly evolves into a full-blown species of tiny humans. The tiny people consider Lisa their God. In the final story, Kang and Kodos beam Homer aboard the spacecraft and ask him who the President is. Homer thinks it might be Bill Clintonor is it Bob Dole? Kang and Kodos beam Clinton and Dole aboard, assume the identities, and both run for President. Homer makes it his mission to expose the two false candidates.moreless

    Oh Yeah! this three house of horror special has to be amongst the top 3 ever. The humor in this special makes you think that it is not a very horrible situation but in reality if you think about it and remove the jokes, these are rather horrible things that you wouldn't want to happen to you. The first segment is the weakest one but it is still very enjoyable. I love the pidgeon-rat created by evil Bart.

    The second segment is amore or less a copy of a Twilight ZOne episodeand it is still very good. I really like the secen in whcih the spaceships go and attack Bart (the camera shot is really cool).

    And the third segment is just hilarious with many jokes about those hated...politicians. A great episode wih great jokes.moreless

    The Thing and I- Bart learns he has an evil twin named Hugo. He tries to sew them together, but at the end, it is revealed our Bart is the true evil twin {shocker!}. Grade- B+

    The Genesis Tub- Lisa creates her own society, who see her as a God, with Bart as the devil. Grade- C+/B-

    Citizen Kang- Kang and Kodos run for President. In the end, Kang wins, and so all of Earth are the aliens slaves. Grade- about a B+

    Overall, pretty good show, first was best, third was second, then last. Overall grade for the whole thin: B+/A-moreless

    • (From "The Genesis Tub") Principal Skinner: This mini universe you've created is even more impressive then Martin's milk carton ukulele. (Shot of Martin in background in a grass skirt playing the ukulele.) Edit
    • (From "The Thing and I") Dr Hibbert: That means the evil twin is and always has been...Bart. (They all turn around and stare at Bart.) Bart: Oh, don't look so shocked. Edit

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • 2001: A Space Odyssey The corpses of the real Dole and Clinton drift into space like the body of Frank Poole from the 1968 Stanley Kubrick film 2001: A Space Odyssey. Edit
    • Cocoon In "Citizen Kang," Homer being abducted in a fishing boat is a sly nod to the classic 1985 film Cocoon. Edit
    • Microcosmic God: The "Genesis Tub" story is more of a reference to Theodore Sturgeon's classic short story, rather than Rod Serling's "The Little People." In Sturgeon's tale a scientist creates life, in the form of fast-evolving little people who refer to him as the Creator and come to worship him. There is no creation in the Serling story; the astronauts just happen upon the civilization and there is no evidence of the rapid evolution of the tiny civilization. It seems just like 20th century earth culture. Sturgeon's story was published in 1941 and was probably an influence on Serling's tale. Edit
