Canon: So far, so good.

Favorite Moment: Burns's dinner with the Simpsons, especially the part in which Marge serves Blinky on a platter and everyone in the room has a dropped jaw, then one person's jaw drops even further

Review: Alright, it definitely picks up during the last act. We get to see a lot of the evil Burns that we grow to love over the course of the series. This is the first episode that makes a comparison between Burns and Charles Foster Kane. This is a great moment in the life of Burns, especially him smashing the meager possessions in the Simpson residence. B+
