Rome-old and Juli-eh

"Rome-old and Juli-eh" is an episode of The Simpsons that explores the idea of a woman like Selma being married to an elderly, senile man like Grandpa. This concept is intriguing and offers an interesting commentary on societal expectations surrounding marriage and age. However, like many episodes from the late 2000s, the episode has its share of problems.

The biggest issue with the episode is the final act of the B-plot, which goes against the show's earlier, more realistic tone. The battle of cardboard boxes and the appearance of a dragon feels out of place and ridiculous. This departure from the show's roots left a bad taste in my mouth, as I felt that the show had lost its way.

While the A-plot has some interesting moments, it still feels almost as absurd as the B-plot. The episode tries to tie together the idea of Selma's marriage and the Shakespearean story of Romeo and Juliet, but it never quite comes together in a satisfying way.

Overall, "Rome-old and Juli-eh" has some interesting ideas and commentary, but its execution leaves much to be desired. The episode suffers from the same problems that plagued many episodes of that era, and its departure from the show's original tone is jarring and off-putting.
