The story of Emmeline, "The Little Girl Who Was Forgotten by Absolutely Everyone (Including the Postman)," is such a lovely little morbid thing. Screenhead put it best when they said it was "so freakin' Goth that it shits Live Journals."

Awesome.

My Advice: Grab it if you're a Simpsons fan.

The Simpsons are back with four classic episodes. In "Dog of Death," Santa's Little Helper needs an expensive operation. The family resents having to sacrifice other things to pay for it, and he runs away, only to become an attack dog of Mr. Burns'. Bart gets caught shoplifting in "Marge Be Not Proud," and has to find a way to earn his mother's respect again at Christmas. "The Secret War of Lisa Simpson" finds Bart sent off to military school after a typical Bart incident, and Lisa decides she wants to go, too, only to find herself the butt of the other cadets' hazing because she is a girl.

Manor Farm has a problem...its human owner. Mr. Jones is a cruel drunkard, who sleeps off his hangover while his animals go hungry. Finally, after a stirring speech by the porcine patriarch, Old Major, the animals decide they've had enough. They drive off Jones and successfully defend the farm, making it their own. The problem is that after a revolution, there's always the question of: now what? Stay free...or become something worse?
