The Simpsons Season 29: 10 Excellent Things You Need To Know
1. The Game of Thrones Homage Will Be Epic
The premiere of season twenty-nine boasts an inventive tribute to the action-packed drama, with the participation of Thrones actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. His character shares a surprising, poignant bond with Marge in a homage sure to satisfy fans of the popular series.
Producer Matt Selman describes The Serfsons as "a love letter to the fantasy genre of books and movies and TV shows." The Simpsons ventures into fantasy on a routine basis but the premiere's premise is tied to a character who's rarely highlighted in the series.
Marge's mother is a background character with rare appearances in The Simpsons' long run. In the medieval world of the premiere, she's transformed into an Ice Walker, with Homer and Lisa teaming up to save her. This episode allows Simpsons fans to be reacquainted with the sour-faced matriarch in an enjoyable way.
Devotees of the monstrous hit Game of Thrones receive a fantastic salute in scenes featuring the actor behind Jaime Lannister. Coster-Waldau plays the enigmatic role of Marge-Like Man, prompting viewers to question his backstory. There could be a romantic connection for the pearls-loving mother. Selman teases that Marge-Like Man engages in a sexy connection with one of the series' main characters.
With a visionary premiere and fantastic Thrones references, season twenty-nine should spark some interesting conversation before winter comes.
