Best episode in ages
This is easily the best episode in a very, very long time. It's not forced, it's not overplayed, it's not unfunny, it's just the opposite of those things. During great scenes, I couldn't help thinking to myself, "Okay, when are they going to ruin this perfectly good scene with loads of potential, with a dumb Homer joke?!" and that joke never came. This is a serious episode, with a really innocent, sweet ending. See, they have the potential to do so much with the show, yet they always waste that potential by trying to appeal to their new target audience: Children.
I'd give this an '8', but considering how much better this episode is to the rest of this season, and season 18 included, I will up it to a '9' because this episode really impressed me.

Beautiful
Who is the cause of his ailment mourns himself, this could be summed up as this episode where a man disturbed by a difficult childhood goes to prison and Marge does not keep her promises until it is too late.

Surprisingly Good Episode
The basis and foundation of those YTPs of The 8-Bit Guy and Techmoan
This episode of The Simpsons felt like the origin of the plots that take place in YouTube Poops of what goes on between The 8-Bit Guy and Techmoan.
How I see it, is that in this episode, Marge Simpson was the "crewmate" and Dwight Diddlehopper was the "impostor" in a similar fashion to how The 8-Bit Guy is the "crewmate" and Techmoan is the "impostor" in those YouTube Poops.
For this reasoning, I'm always going to be appreciative of this episode, in particular how its plot inspired those YouTube Poops of The 8-Bit Guy and Techmoan. I feel as if this episode is too underrated and underappreciated.

Good fun
This is another good episode from the 19th series of the show, in which Marge breaks her promise to her convict, and disaster follows.
With a nice guest voice turn from Steve Buscemi this was an enjoyable enough episode.
