Talk:El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer (The Mysterious Voyage of Homer)

Untitled

Doesn't it translate to "The Mysterious Voyage of Our Homer"?

Jomer v. Homer?

The SNPP article lists this as "Homer". Which is correct? --DDG 20:17, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

• The DVD says "Jomer". Also, I've always heard this as "The Mysterious Voyage of our Homer". Eric Sieck 04:54, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

One of the best episodes

I just have to add that this is by far one of the best Simpsons episodes, and I wish it would get more airtime. I've only seen it played a few times. --Thoric 23:40, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Song "At Seventeen" in this episode.

The song "At Seventeen" by Janis Ian plays in this episode as Homer is walking through the town of Springfield after the vision he has. This should be noted somewhere in this page. --Snooziums 00:26, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Page name

I have reverted the page move as it should have been discussed here first and is wrong anyway. The "(The Mysterious Voyage of Homer)" part is not meant to be a literal translation, its just the sub part of the title. The fact that it is also called and literally translates to The Mysterious Voyage of Our Homer, is mentioned in the article. If you think it should be changed, then please state that here. Gran² 06:53, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

"Simpsons World: The Ultimate Episode Guide" lists the title as "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer" in the contents, then adds the English translation on the entry page as "The Mysterious Voyage of Our Homer". The page should be moved. – PeeJay 18:43, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

I'd recommend starting a new discussion rather than replying to a post from 2007 if you're serious about this. DonIago (talk) 19:58, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

GA notes

This is well on its way to Good Article status! Just a few things I'd like to see before I pass you:

1. Expand the synopsis section a bit. It doesn't necessarily have to be as long as the one at Lisa's Wedding, another Simpsons article that recently attained GA status, but it could be. There are plenty of details that could be added to flesh this section out, like more of Homer's experiences, the short shorts party at the end, etc.
2. Break up the production section. It's one long, multi-topic paragraph right now.
3. Give the whole article a once-over copyedit. Start with the misspelling of chili and inappropriate semicolon use in the plot section ("...Chief Wiggum's chilli; spiked with..."), and the awkward comma in the Production section ("...a mystical voyage, that was not induced by drugs...").
4. Shrink the head screenshot a little bit, and the butterfly image a lot. Put {{fairusereduced|~~~~~}} on each image summary page after you do this.

That ought to do it. Take care of these items and I think this is an excellent article. In particular, it is very well sourced. :) --Masamage ♫ 03:57, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

• I have taken care of the requested items and put tags on the images so that they will eventually be shrunk. -- Scorpion 04:14, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Wow, you're fast! Okay, looks pretty good... A few things got wackied up in the rearranging, though. There's now a fragment sentence at the end of the lead, and I note several sudden changes of tense in the Synopsis, plus some inventive words like "starnge" and "rund". Maybe copy the whole thing into Word or something to make sure and hit all the spelling and grammar errors? While you take care of that, I don't mind shrinking the images myself, as that needs to be done before handing out GA status, and I don't consider minor image work a conflict-of-interest. --Masamage ♫ 04:30, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
    • I shrank the images. They should probably also be placed in Category:The Simpsons images. --Masamage ♫ 04:40, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
      • And I have completed the copy editing. -- Scorpion 04:42, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
        • Wonderful. My only remaining nitpicks are one remaining tense-switch (Homer eats the peppers in past tense) and the fact that the production notes say Homer woke up in a golf course, but the synopsis does not. These are tiny details considering how fast you've responded to everything, so I'll let you attend to those and go ahead with upgrading this article to GA-status. Great work! :D --Masamage ♫ 04:49, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
          • Thanks for the help. -- Scorpion 04:53, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Requested move

El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer → El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer (The Mysterious Voyage of Homer) — This is the official title of episode, as the Official site shows. The page was called this up until yesterday when a user moved it, claiming "The English translation is not part of the official title" but as they source shows, it is. As this user seems against the orignal title, I decided it'd be best to have an official move discussion, rather than getting someone to move it back, as there could be others who agree with them. — Gran² 10:31, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

• Support We should be using the official episode titles for our pages. Ctjf83Talk 17:56, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
• Support. The English translation is as much of a part of the title as the Spanish part. I would say moving the page back is pretty uncontroversial; go ahead and do it. Xnux the Echidna 19:01, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Discussion

Any additional comments:

• For the record, I did try moving it back myself, but it wouldn't let me, so I thought it best just to do this. Gran² 19:04, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
  • Very well, I shall relist this under uncontroversial moves at WP:RM. The user who moved the article did so with an invalid reason. He has been notified, so hopefully this will avoid confusion. Xnux the Echidna 17:27, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
    • Done. :D Xnux the Echidna 19:37, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Easter Egg

About 15min though, when the camera does a pan from upstairs to downstairs, you can see between the floors his telephone wires have been tapped. NSA, FBI, ATF, CIA, KGB, and MCI are all visible. This may be due to his run-ins with those organizations (though mysteriously nothing from the IRS considering he worked for them). Ghostalker (talk)

Gabba Gabba Hey

Is that me or Ned Flenders' "diddley" eventually winds up to "gabba gabba hey"? Approx at 8:15. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.175.233.116 (talk) 19:35, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

He does indeed say "Gabba gabba hey". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.113.104.58 (talk) 23:15, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Default sort?

Since "el" is an article meaning "the" in Spanish, should a default sort be added to this article so that it shows up in the categories under the letter V instead of the letter E? Zephyrnthesky (talk) 05:02, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Horatio McCallister

When he sees the lighthouse, he tells his coxswain to turn right ("Steuerbord") in the German version but the vessel turns to the left. I wonder if this is just a flaw of the dubber or a genuine mistake. --Hodsha (talk) 18:08, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Unless a third-party reliable source took note of it, it would seem to be trivia in any case. Doniago (talk) 19:45, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

In the English version, the exchange goes something along the lines of:

• Sea Captain: "Turn to starboard"
• Coxswain: "You mean port?"
• Sea Captain: "Aye, port"

That's why he turns left. – PeeJay 21:16, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

"The Mysterious Voyage of Our Homer"

According to "Simpsons World: The Ultimate Episode Guide", the correct translation of this episode's Spanish title is "The Mysterious Voyage of Our Homer", which makes sense since the Spanish title uses the word "nuestro" (Spanish for "our"). Any opposition to a move? – PeeJay 21:10, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

"Sunrise sunset"

I can't seem to be ale to find it on the internet, but there's a painting, or otherwise artwork, by some... artist, that changes from sunrise to sunset (or the other way around) if you want towards/away from it. I believe homers experience is a reference to that. I don't know what punctuation the name of the artwork might have, but if I remember right, it's called "Sunrise sunset". GMRE (talk) 17:46, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

I think that there may be many such.
