Talk:The Father, the Son, and the Holy Guest Star

message: So how does this episode affect continuity?  Is Bart still at the Catholic school or wil he go back to Springfield Elementary?  And are Bart and Homer still Catholic? Sonic Mew | talk to me 18:43, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: We didn't see them go back to normal, though, which we normally do, (however cheaply), and this episode references the fact that Lisa is still a Buddhist. Sonic Mew | talk to me 12:11, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

text: Well, we'll see soon, anyway.  Though, isn't most of the plot of All's Fair in Oven War two years in the future? Sonic Mew | talk to me 16:13, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Do not use piped links to create "easter egg links", that require the reader to follow them before understanding what's going on. For example, do not write this:
    [...] and by mid-century the puns and sexual humor were (with only a few exceptions) back in to stay.
The readers will not know Thomas Bowdler is being spoken of until they select the link — in a print version, there is no link to select, and the information is lost. Instead, reference the article explicitly:
    [...] and by mid-century the puns and sexual humor were (with only a few exceptions, see Thomas Bowdler) back in to stay. 
Please do not change Commander Cuckoo Bananas to George W. Bush

replies: text: I've added "[i.e., President George W. Bush]" after that phrase.  --zenohockey 01:08, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

text: Of course it's referring to him!  Who else would it be?  And while you're right that most people probably don't care, there is a whole book on The Simpsons' anti-establishment streak (Leaving Springfield), and people interested in that aspect may find it helpful to have this reference explicitly pointed out.  --zenohockey 05:59, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Ok before starting a edit war may I know why some punk have deleted the section with the quotes and added a external link with those? most of the episode have a quote section on the page, a link to wikiquote and a link to the simpsons capsule, which is the only link useful that every page with a episode should have.--ometzit<col> 20:39, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm sure of this because the image was on a bop bag I had as a kid. That whole scene is various jokes about Bart's early days (see the Bartman costumes and his followers quoting his old catchphrases)--HellCat86 19:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Anyone else think that the part with Willie and the rats was a reference to Willard? Never seen it, but they both seem to have a similar theme of "tortured social misfit uses rats to wreak his vengeance upon those who were cruel to him," might be worth a mention in the Cultural References section. 72.25.33.197 06:25, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Which song is playing during the appearance of "Springfield Shopper" with a headline "LOCAL FATHER, SON MAY SWITCH RELIGIONS", Homer and Bart putting out a candles, with Father Sean going to "The Frying Ditchman", shotting from the Thompson submachine gun, playing Bingo?

message: It is mentioned 3 times in the first paragraph that Bart hates his role in the medieval festival.  This is redundant. Kwyjibear (talk) 22:01, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Perhaps some negative reviews can be located and quoted to balance the Reception section of the article? I know I can't be quoted in the article, but..... as well the positive central message of the episode that there shouldn't be fighting amongst Catholics and Protestants, the episode contains a number of racist perceptions of the Irish [disguised by references to Catholicism in general] and an overall ignorance towards the underlying historical causes of the "foolish" feud between Catholics and Protestants [British colonalism/Cromwellian plantations etc.]  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.125.64.32 (talk) 17:38, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

message: telegraph.co.uk featured an article yesterday about L'Osservatore Romano praising the episode. I added a tiny paragraph about it, anyone who can actually read the original paper could probably expand on it. Hazlzz (talk) 21:21, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
