Ban request.
Yep. The whole thing was pointless.

Of course anyone with half a brain that's been following along with this nonsense could have told you that in advance.

Of course, but I was hoping it wasn't going to be so pointless. Serves me right for being optimistic.

Those were the only horrible parts. Everything else was solid.

Oddly enough, that's pretty much true.
It probably says something though that FOX felt it would be a good idea to promote the crossover by showcasing two of the worst segments included in it.
There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about this season. The premiere just wasn't one of them.
There's more reason to be optimistic about next week's ep. Even if the writer doesn't have a good track record, the showrunner this week most assuredly does.
Supposedly he dropped acid when he was animating it. Shocking I know.

I can't believe how un-secretive the whole damn thing was too. It was spoiled by EVERYONE including the creators in their own advertisements and promo materials. Not to mention the fucking title of the episode. COME THE HELL ON.
Remember Who Shot Mr. Burns? NO ONE KNEW FOR SURE! Because it was kept a secret! They handled PR so much better. Now it's all about the fucking ratings. I am so disappointed.
It's a sad day when Family Guy handled their "kill off a character" thing so much better. Theirs had heart. It was a major character. And even though he was brought back, the whole thing went so much better.

I like that older episodes were all over the place, versus 30-minute long "themes" of modern Simpsons, e.g. 'Krusty lost his mojo' or 'Comic Book Guy falls in love.'
btw I wonder why producers chose the James Woods gag over an Adam West gag? He was another celebrity who has been heavily featured in both shows.

I think the main reason is that Mayor West is a character.
Mayor West isn't Adam West, the ex-Batman star.
Hence it wouldn't have worked as well as James Woods who has only ever played the role of James Woods.

I was under the impression that Mayor West is Adam West himself. Of course a fictionalized version of himself, much like John Malkovich in Being John Malkovich or all the celebrities in This is the End.
But I guess James Woods makes more sense.
It'll be even more pointless when they bring him back to life in 10 or 12 years, like they did Dr. Marvin Monroe.

I didn't even know he died.
No, he was just very sick.
Source: Season 15's "Diatribe of a Mad Housewife"
Though he hasn't appeared since that one so he's probably dead for reals now.

I doubt very much that Jackie Mason will still be alive in 10-12 years. Or that they would bring him back if he was.
The only character they've ACTIVELY brought back after having their VA die and the character written out is Lunchlady Doris... who they renamed to Lunchlady Dora.

Well that's nothing like when they killed off Fat Tony and replaced him with Fat Tony.
Or when they got rid of Principal Skinner and replaced him with Principal Skinner. Then got rid of Principal Skinner and replaced him with Principal Skinner.

Or when they killed Snowball 2 and replaced her with Snowball 5.

Those other examples are a little different because they were self-contained within a single episode and these characters were never "written out" to begin with. Lunchlady Doris/Dora was essentially a background character for a number of years before being given speaking parts again (as per the original poster's accusation that they'll just bring Hyman Krustofsky back from the dead in 10-12 years).
As if they've been doing that with other characters like Lionel Hutz and Troy McClure.

Didn't Lisa say something like how she'd still call her Snowball 2?

Was it supposed to be Larry Burns or Rodney Dangerfield? Either way, it barely sounded like either of them.
It was supposed to be Rodney, I was just making a joke.

4 and 5 are required.
Apart from those two, it's a matter of personal preference... so long as your personal preference does not include 22.
You could also just time your marathon for when FXX will be broadcasting the first 24 in sequence.
