    I mean, I would do the same if I ran a comedy show for over a decade. It’s always very obvious when the Simpsons write an episode based on research in fan sites/wikis as well, as suddenly obscure plot points from the past are brought up lol

        It must be hard for authors to keep track of what actually happened because I’m sure there are dozens or even hundreds of plotlines and side stories which they thought about while writing or even started writing before axing the idea and never made it into the story.

        Keeping track of what did and didn’t officially make it into the story must be extra difficult than readers just remembering what they read.
