Lisa the Skeptic

A skeleton that resembles an angel is found during an archeological dig in Springfield.

This is a strong episode with some good themes underlying the plot.

There are some thought-provoking moments as the various characters react to the discovery. The conflict between religion and science is addressed nicely by certain characters with faith and other who are sceptical without scientific evidence. I also enjoyed the great parody of economic exploitation of the masses and how it ties into religion and consumerism.

For me the humour is average and I consider it an episode that is geared more towards cleverness than comedy.

The big reveal ending is very memorable.
