Dangers on a Train is a fantastic Simpsons episode,a brilliant conclusion to the twenty fourth season with a very enjoyable and well written storyline with plenty of very funny scenes.Seth MacFarlane did a brilliant job in this episode,voicing Ben,he is without a doubt one of the most talented voice actors there is,I am a huge fan of him,I never expected him to be on this show because I believed in that Simpsons/Family Guy rivalry,but that obviously isn't real.He was without a doubt the best guest star of this season,they also made great use of his singing voice in one scene,I liked that they got him the play an original character for a full episode instead of just a small cameo as himself.Dangers on a Train is a great episode that wraps up the season nicely.
Coming up to their tenth wedding anniversary,Homer try's to recreate the train that they spent their first anniversary on.Meanwhile,Marge meets a man online that she starts to get along with over a mutual interest in a popular television series,but he wants a bit more than just a friendship.
