Talk:The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson/Archive 1

message: I watched this a few weeks ago and they had edited out all references to the WTC. They didn't have Homer go to one tower, then the other, for instance.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.16.225.228 (talk • contribs)

replies: text: I'd love to know how this was done, seeing as the note Homer got about his car mentioned the WTC, and going to the WTC to get the car back is what drives the plot.  How could they remove all WTC references without making the plot nonsensical?  Unless this claim can be verified, I think the passage regarding this in the article should be removed, as it is unverified and highly unlikely.--Tiberius47 09:23, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't know what's the generally accepted format for articles on TV show episodes, but I'm questioning whether it's encyclopedic to have those gigantic lists of quotes for each episode. It just strikes me more as something from a fansite than it does an encyclopedia article. And isn't this exactly what Wikiquote is for anyway? --Foot Dragoon 01:32, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

message: "In the final scene the Simpsons are seen driving across the Brooklyn Bridge. Which is a bridge that connects Long Island to Manhattan Island. Indicating that Springfield would be located on Long Island, which does not seem likely."
well, it seems that the ending confused someone, they were on their way out of new york to long island to the US mainland to travel back to springfield....or am i wrong here?
:They could very well be talking the bridge to Brooklyn, (which it does connect to from Manhattan, Brooklyn being part of the physical Long Island) with the intention of then taking the Verrazano Bridge then the Gothels bridge, which is a logical way to get to the U.S. mainland, especially if you are heading generally southwards.

replies: text: On the DVD commentary Dan Castellaneta (who voices Homer) say that Homer indeed says a swear word when he's trying to bite off the parking boot, and you can hear it if you listen closely. CitiCat ♫ 02:35, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Woohoo! Fantastic clean-up. Here are my tips for improvement:
*The lead's plot synopsis could be a little long, and there is no mention of the episode's vanishing from syndication after 9/11 or its Emmy win.
*The images: I feel it'd be a lot better to show the Twin Towers in the infobox. I also feel it could do with images of the ending shot and the Emmy-winning musical scene. I'm sure you editors can easily make those images with FU rationales.
I can do a little copyediting myself and pass the article after these are done. Alientraveller (talk) 11:39, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

message: For me, "received" -- an active verb -- implies what is grammatically termed the recipient or even, IIRC,  the patient, of the action, and there's nothing grammatically wrong with that. Nevertheless, psychologically, receiving reeks too much of taking notice of, accepting, maybe even regretting or protesting the documents, when it isn't even accepting or noticing it. That grammatical convention is a vestigial metaphor whose tiny itch can be avoided, e.g. with any of a number of more explicitly passive voice, even if I haven't nailed the ideal construction or nuance. I'm not arguing for any specific verb or construction, but for more effort at crediting the car with any hint of acting, knowing, or caring. A fine point, yes, but IMO an insignificantly distracting one.--JerzyA (talk) 10:43, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
