Spoiler See what you can do when you keep the intro simple? This was seriously way better than THOH XXX. Right proper horror, this was.
A-Gobble-Ypto: I was actually caught off-guard by how gory this one was, but it was a pretty creative twist on things. Truly, man is the ultimate horror movie villain.
The Fourth Thursday After Tomorrow: Another inventive tale, with Marge as both protagonist and antagonist. Gotta love a good "blurring the line between technology and humanity" tale.
The Last Thanksgiving: Ah, the classic monster-on-a-spaceship plot. Never gets old. The cranberry blob was another creative twist, and the reason for its thirst for bones was classic sci-fi/horror sort-of-science. I'm gonna miss Russi's voice, but at least Martin went out stealing the show.

Spoiler Fine, going in. I seriously don't get people. They complain when things are lazily written and pointlessly mean-spirited yet love when the show does those things even harder. By that extent, Miracle on Evergreen Terrace must be a classic , On a Clear Day I Can't See My Sister is a heartwarming tale in comparison.
#1 Really didn't go anywhere. Spose it's hard to have anywhere near a decent story when most of it is just gobbling noises. So of course it's mostly just random acts of gore, then an egg hatches and that's about it.
#2 All good things start with an exposition dump. I thought Marge's voice was okay in Marge the Lumberjill but it's gone back to strained. It's a whole lot of dead air wrapped up in a marriage crisis. Oh a firewall being a literal wall of fire. That's new. Technology bad. It's boring as hell but probably the best segment.
#3 The rest was just 1/5 material but this, this one is the one that bumps it down. It wasn't even a "kids as adults" thing or even a reason why it had to be kids, someone just has a sick obssession with killing children. And while Marcia Wallace got a sendoff in a little dance fantasy and Nelson and Ned stating how much they missed her. Russi's sendoff is Martin being ripped open and all of her characters being graphically murdered. That's actually offensive . That's supposed to be a loving sendoff? If I drew something even half as bad with Lisa and @'ed Yeardley Smith, I'd be blocked. Hell with how thin-skinned she is towards Lisa I'm not sure charges wouldn't be pressed. That's a sickening slap in the face. And then it has the gall to be one of those fake bullshit happy endings because the monster "just wanted to be a side dish (even though it could have been in the first place)" and Bart and Lisa see nothing wrong with eating something made up of the rest of humanity and Lisa narrates like it's an uwu happy ending. Fuck off . God she needs to die next thoh. What a fucking load.
This wasn't just bad or even as bad as I thought, this is easily the worst, most pointless and mean sprited pieces of shit ever put on the show. The show has never gotten so vile to the point it's actually disgusting but how Russi's entire lot were treated as a "sendoff" to her cinches it. Dan Vebber is a hack, when this isn't being boring it's being disgusting and not in a THOH-y way but just plain shitty.
Can't wait for none of Russi's characters to get anything other than this for like three seasons either. Seasonal depression was kicking my ass and this just made it all the worse.
Reading around, it seems I'm maybe one of three people that ever gave a shit about Russi Taylor. Yay.

Spoiler I don't know, I liked this one.
Didn't particularly like the turkey short, but The Fourth Thursday After Tomorrow was hilarious; I love that virtual Marge escaped into the infinite world of space and ended up in Etsy, and claiming her revenge on the real Marge by admitting she was the one who cooked dinner.
The Alien parody was just all right; the show's done worse. I'm pretty sure this wasn't put together with the foreknowledge that Russi would pass when she did. I know this was her last work as Martin, but I think there's voice work for her other characters coming up.
