What do you think? Do you think Snowball II is...

  • Dead...
  • Part of a plot twist that'll pick up in the future...
  • Alive, and the one that was killed was the crazy cat lady's cat?

Kind of odd for them to kill off a 15 year character in the first five minutes...

Snowball II is dead, but "Snowball V" is now Snowblal II... so *a* Snowball II is alive.

They depicted the cat lady as an angel...so maybe the cat lady/angel brought back Snowball "1" to Lisa...It's possible in a cartoon.

I think Lisa, in accordance to her Buddhist beliefs and the myth that cats have 9 lives, sort of thinks that Snowball I was re-incarnated into Snowball II, then Snowball III, Coltrane and Snowball V/II-2. Four more lives left.

Riiight....Snowball II was reincarnated into three different grown cats in a matter of days. The Buddha must be spinning in his grave!

Well, it didn't say how long it was between each visit to the shelter to get the cats. It must've at least been a few weeks, as it was long enough for Bart and Homer to have all those matches, and I doubt those were daily. Juxtaposing this against the aging of unimportant animals and babies in the series (eg. SLH's puppies were as big as him in a few weeks in "Two Dozen and One Greyhounds", Bart's lizards went from eggs to full growns in a few days in "Bart the Mother", Apu's babies grew up pretty fast in comparison to Maggie) it's entirely possible, though admittedly not very plausible. But not impossible, and therefore, I'm not wrong. Stop acting like I'm crazy. :p

There was absolutely no indication of this in the episode. Nothing Lisa said or did lends itself to this theory.

This is why you should read more carefully. I clearly started with the words "I think" indicating an opinion. And besides, the behavior and expressions of Snowball V almost seemed as though it knew Lisa, and felt bad that she was rejecting her at first. Besides, wackier things have happened in the show.

Yes, I realized you were expressing an opinion. I was stating that the facts do not support it. You should change your thinking.

Maude Flanders was killed in the first five minutes also. Major character deaths don't seem so shocking anymore after that.

At least that was the "A" story and not the "B" story.

"Maximum signature size is 254 characters."

China Beach. They killed off some of the characters on that show.

12 O'Clock High. This goes way back, now. Robert Lansing, the star of the show, was killed off and replaced by Paul Burke. Read about it at the "Jump the Shark" web site.
