The last time they had Mona on the show, Homer assumed she died in that prison bus accident, but she did survive. How are they going to clear up her "death" from the last ep?

With a script, some voice actors and an animation staff.

True, but he did find something that said "I'm Ok" which he assumed was from her, so he did believe that she survived. at least that was my take on it.

fake death coming. na. the plot line has her ashes being spread over the lake

I think they should have really brought her into the series as a regular.

She was a good character.

IMO, My Mother the Carjacker should've never been made and Mother Simpsons should've been the only episode involving Mona.

Yeah, My Mother the Carjacker wasn't that good. But they obviously wanted Glenn Close back that season for a sweeps stunt (it aired in November).

But I don't see what the big fuss is, really. I've been a Simpsons fan since day one, but Mother Simpson was not an intregral part of the series. Marge's mother, who's basically a background character, has had more screen time. Mother Simpson's reappearance this season just seems like another attempt to go back to well because the writer's are getting dry and repeating stories. Like revisiting Lurleen Lumpkin (although I did like that new episode).

This episode better be a **** tearjearker to make up for needlessly killing off a 3 time character.

I agree, I want to be in tears by the end of the episode. I think it'll be good. I just hope they don't cover it up with comedy.

Absolutely not!! Why should we mourn a peripheral character. This is a comedy, not a soap opera.

When they killed Maude Flanders, a regular supporting character, they mined it for laughs, i.e., Homer admitting he parked in an ambulance zone preventing any rescutation. LOL.

i think mona has been overused... she was meant to be a one time character. but this is a comedy, and as such athough emotion is fine and dandy, i don't think it should be overy emotional... if the episode lacks a good plot. yes there have been some brilliant emotional tearjering scenes in the smpsons like lisas substitute or when bart passed third grade or whatever... but there have also been countless huorous or non emotiona scenes that one recalls equaly if not ore fondly. i don't give a darn whether its emotional or not. i just want it to be a good ep all new eps should be. i said should be, not are.
