She Used to Be My Girl -- 12/5 Episode Discussion

[another yahoo person]

Maybe that is why they are focusing on Marge. Homer, Bart, and Lisa are lead characters on the show. Marge winRAB up being a supporting character. She's not my favorite character, but she does deserve more storylines.

[Mr. Dyer]

Someone maybe I'll buy this software and learn how to do it Thanks for the info.

[Jael]

That requires additional hardware and/or software. I use something that video captures the episode, converting it to a movie file. Then I use either WinTV2000 or WinDVD to watch the file and make screencaps.

Thanks guys

Yeah I'm wondering that also, the writers might do that Marge decides to go back to school. Because they just left the episode again like the previous one without any closed ending, they left it open.

Excellent synopsis Liz!

I saw most of the episode, but didn't get to hear the dialogue -- makes more sense now.

Now it kind of makes me wonder if the writers will pursue a storyline where Marge goes back to school part time to study Journalism.

[Cubhouse]

I didn't notice that until now, but I can't really think of a reason. Marge has never really interested me, and likewise, I've heard very few people name her as their favorite character. But who knows.

I like the continuity with Barney's helicopter-flying, and it came in handy, too. There were a lot of funny moments, and no one went crazy with cake, so I think the ep was a success. I just hope they'll shift the focus over to some of the other characters soon.

Firestar007, thanks for the synopsis! I was having trouble remerabering the episode; it's been a few days.
