The Man Who Came to Be Dinner

"The Man Who Came to Be Dinner" is the 10th episode of the 26th season of The Simpsons. It was first shown on the Fox network on January 4, 2015. The episode is about the Simpson family being taken to a planet of alien life.

Story 

The Simpson family goes to an amusement park. They go inside of a ride that turns into a spaceship. They do not know that they are being taken to outer space. Two aliens named Kang and Kodos tell the family that they are going to their alien planet. Once they get there, Kang and Kodos put the Simpson family in a cage as prisoners. They get put inside of a zoo. They are told that one person in the family will be eaten for a ritual. They choose Homer Simpson to be the one eaten.

Homer is seen with bacon on him in the ritual. Some aliens (that act like hippies) get Homer and say that aliens should not eat other species. Homer is safe, but he learns that everyone else in the family will be eaten instead. Homer goes back and is part of the ritual again. The queen of the planet starts to eat Homer. However, she gets poisoned because the family eats many junk food. The queen dies from the poison. They are put on a spaceship to go back to Earth. However, the family goes away from the Earth so that they do not have to talk to Grampa Simpson.

Production 

"The Man Who Came to Be Dinner" was written by Al Jean and David Mirkin. David Silverman is the director of the episode. The episode was first going to be the last episode of the 24th season. The episode "Dangers on a Train" was shown as the last episode of the season instead. Al Jean said that this was because the episode's story was thought of being made into a movie. This would be a sequel to The Simpsons Movie. Back in 1992, the episode "Kamp Krusty" was also thought of being made as a movie. Jean said that people who watched the episode would see why it was not made as a movie. Jean was also worried that fans of the show would think that the story is not canon (events that are part of the show's story). He thought that this would be controversial with fans.

Reception 

10.62 million people watched the episode when it was first shown on television. Dennis Perkins of The A.V. Club did not like the episode's strange ideas. He said that the episode is a "product" of "breezy disregard" of what makes there show good. Tony Sokol from Den of Geek thought that the episode is a "singular highlight" of the 26th season.

The Battle of the Oranges is a festival in Ivrea in northern Italy. The townspeople throw oranges at each other. The festival happens every year. It lasts three days.  It is right before Shrove Tuesday, which means it is right before the Catholic Lent season.

Legend says the festival started when the townspeople killed an evil duke.  The duke wanted to have sex with women on their wedding nights, so the people started fighting. A miller's daughter named Violetta cut off the duke's head.  The orange fights are between people pretending to be the duke's men and people pretending to be Violetta's helpers.

There was no festival in 1915-18, 1942-45 nor 2021.

Lisa's Sax

"Lisa's Sax" is the 3rd episode of the 9th season of The Simpsons. It was first shown on the Fox network on October 19, 1997. The episode is about how Lisa Simpson got a saxophone.

Story 

Homer and Bart try to watch television. They can not hear it because they think Lisa's saxophone is too loud. Bart goes to her room and tries to take it from her. Bart accidentally throws it out of the window. The saxophone gets hit by a car. Lisa gets very sad and does not remember how she got a saxophone. Homer tells her by using a flashback on how she got it.

In the flashback, Bart goes to his first day of school. He is sad because school is not going well for him. Homer and Marge go to the school's psychologist. While they are talking about Bart, the psychologist learns that Lisa is very smart. He tells them that they should care for Lisa's smart intelligence. They try to put Lisa in a private school, but it costs too much money. Their town then gets a very big heat wave. Homer tries to save some money to buy an air conditioner. Marge does not want Homer to buy one until they know how to help Lisa. At the school, Bart becomes friends with Milhouse Van Houten and other students because he is humorous. 

Homer learns that musical instruments are great for a smart child. He uses the money he saved to buy a saxophone for Lisa. After the flashback, Homer buys a new saxophone for Lisa.

Production 

"Lisa's Sax" is the first episode to be written by Al Jean without someone else. Before this, he would write with Mike Reiss. Jean, Reiss, and David Stern made small changes to the screenplay. This is the 6th episode to be about flashbacks. The first episode that does this is "The Way We Was". In that episode, Homer graduates from high school in 1974. This made it not easy to write the time of "Lisa's Sax" because the episode is in 1990. Jean thought that the episode was short, so they made Lisa play her new saxophone at the end of the episode.

Dominic Polcino is the director of the episode. He thought that the epsiode was easy to direct. At the start of the episode, Policno made a pastel drawing of Krusty the Clown. He said that it is the only drawing he has made for the show all done by him. This is the last episode that has Doris Grau as the voice actor for Lunchlady  Doris. She died two years before the episode was first shown on television. Tress MacNeille became the new voice actor for Doris in 2006.

Reception 

Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood (authors of I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide) said that it is "a terrific episode". They thought it was nice to see Bart younger. Robert Canning from IGN said that the episode is "very funny" and that it is "loaded with Simpson heart."  Stephen Becker from The Dallas Morning News thought that the 9th season has a "special affinity for Lisa". He thought this after seeing this episode, "Das Bus", and "Lisa the Simpson". The San Diego Union-Tribune said that this episode, "All Singing, All Dancing", and "Trash of the Titans" are memorable episodes of the show.

Standardization

In order to be able to work together, people and companies need to agree on a common set of rules, and units. These agreements are called standards. The process of agreeing is called standardization or standardisation. 

Companies that have products which follow these rules can make their products work together.  One example of a standard is the two pin plug. It provides electricity. It is commonly found in household appliances. Many countries have adopted it. However, this is not the case for three-pin plugs: they are different in each country.  

Agreements do not need to be technical. Lawyers can agree on a standard way to solve a problem, linguists can agree on what the "standard language" is, and bookkeepers can agree on rules how to evaluate a company.

Reset button

A reset button or reset switch is a part of an electronic machine that makes it start again.  It turns the machine off and turns it back on, very fast.

Real reset buttons are on machines, but "reset button" is also a metaphor for other things.  It means "thing that makes everything start over" or "thing that puts things back the way they were in the beginning."

In fiction, especially serialized fiction, like television shows, the writers often use a reset button.  No matter what happened during the episode, things always go back to the beginning for the next episode.

Conditional probability

In probability theory, conditional probability is the probability of an event occurring, given that another event has occurred. Usually this is written as . This is read as "probability of A given B". The two events need not be related. They also need not occur at the same time. In the most general case,

Expressed in words: The conditional probability of A occurring given B is the probability of both events occurring, divided by the probability of B occurring. As a division by zero is not defined, the probability of B occurring must not be zero.

Atmospheric railway

An atmospheric railway is propelled by differences in atmospheric pressure. Pistons are used there. A piston is connected to the vehicle. At the beginning of railways, different systems were in use in England and in France. All systems were only used for a short time: maintenance cost was high, and there were recurring problems with the connection of the piston (tube) to the vehicle. At first, atmospheric railways were used to go downhill. The locomotives of the times didn't have enough power. That way, it speeds up to  were reached. At the end of the 20th century, the airport of Porto Alegre in Brazil uses an atmospheric railways. There is also a theme park in Indonesia with a  long circular atmospheric railway.
