Homer really loves Flanders! Homer Simpson and Ned Flanders are secretly in love with each other. Both being so completely repressed they can only express this with a kind of passive aggressive hate. All standalone (i.e. non-consecutive) episodes of American Dad! are all versions of the finale. What happens after is that Stan Smith (CIA agent) has a serious nervous breakdown and ends up in an institution. Each episode in question is a version of his final descent into madness!

Democracy is three sheep and one wolf arguing over what to have for Brexit.

Feudalism, such as it is, in  "A Song of Ice and Fire", is an interesting concept when peasants are not bound to the land. There was no Westerosi emperor Diocletian. The great houses operate very much like the old kings of Ireland, and India during the Raj also. In both cases the English monarch became the overlord of these peoples in the same way Aegon the Conqueror conquered six of the seven kingdoms. The Lords are petty kings with the iron throne belonging to an overlord (or High King as was the equivalent case in Ireland). I would assume that every local lord is able to demand some from of tribute from nearby peasants but even this may not be certain. What the main lords subsist on, I would imagine, is their ability to enforce the king's laws and their rights over the lands they rule. This specifically means being able to fine poachers (and criminals in general). One could imply from the television adaptation that each of the main lords depends on their control...

Renting a home is extortion. Instead one should pay a version of rent that basically covers the landlord's mortgage and any service costs. Whatever the replacement system is called, all money paid to the landlord is returned to the tenant when they move. Deductions are made for the landlord's mortgage and any service/repair costs. Housing benefit for people with low incomes should be replaced with a grant to pay towards the deposit and an agreement from the tenant to pay the interest on any mortgage. There could arguably be a citizen's income (or UBI, Universal Basic Income) scheme to cover this and encourage people to work or allow them to study/volunteer. People who inherit property should pay a percentage of the property's value, say 0.5%, to the community as tax or contributions.

The Whole Saga . Well, more or less really. Should the Jedi really not look a gift horse in the mouth by trusting in the clone army? Shouldn't Return of the Jedi fit in better with The Force Awakens/vice versa? Is it right for Disney to completely disregard the former Expanded Universe? How could the saga be changed to adopt to these points? ( With regards to the first point ) It transpires that Darth Maul originally ordered the clone army before apparently being killed on Naboo. It would help the viewer if the Jedi were to be seen (or mentioned) finding this out in Revenge of the Sith.       So, in this case..... A Jedi Master, Dooku, leaves the order. Declaring himself a Count, he establishes the Separatist movement, with the aim of drawing out the real Sith Lord. He even has an apprentice.* This ultimately leads to him (Dooku) turning to the Dark Side and finding out, too late, that Palpatine is the real Sith Lord. I...
