Errors Mr. Burns and Smithers are by Moe's tavern when the first notice Gloria ticketing his car. Suddenly he's at the edge of the road, and Moe's Tavern is no where to be seen.
Review Huge improvement over the last two episodes. The first two acts featured a lot of great gags (such as the dragon, Homer trying out Burns sexual stimulant, Burns cheerfully firing Carl). The show does lose it's footing once Snake takes Homer & Gloria hostage (though I LOL'ed at Homer's "mmm...pistol whip" line). Overall John Swartzwelder's best episode in a few years. (B-)
