Moe’s rag has a whale of a tale to tell – if it survives a kidnapping attempt by an unknown assailant.

Meanwhile, Millhouse and Bart refuse to speak after Bart takes his friend for granted once too often.

This plot could have been an amazingly well-told one.All of the Bart and Millhouse stuff is golden, extremely well examined and written.It unfortunately crashes headlong into the rag’s story, which would have worked best as a Treehouse of Horror one-shot story instead of as an actual part of canon.

I dread repeating this eco for the millionth time, but it felt too much like a story deposed from an episode of Family Guy.While the story was intelligent, suddenly making Moe a yeti is a disservice to the plot.

RATING: C+ for the sum of its parts; would be higher if they were TOH
