Since Linda died not long thereafter of cancer, not yet 60 years old, one can assume her diet did not do wonders for her health.
>notorious for being overly preachy
But it's not? Apu's quote in the OP sums up the lesson Lisa learns about NOT being preachy and forcing your beliefs on others. The fact Lisa didn't learn that lesson and became insufferable later on isn't the fault of this episode, which actually had a good message about living your life the way you want and allowing others the same courtesy.
Solo Paul is pretty fucking lame. Seriously, Wings hasn't aged well and felt more like canned music product than anything.
Seems like a pretty hypocritical message when McCartney literally forced the writers to make Lisa canon vegetarian.
The episode's entire message would have been rendered meaningless if Lisa didn't stick to her beliefs in the end while also conceding Homer is allowed to stick to his. I don't think there's anything wrong with permanent changes to characters if they're in character, and this was. Lisa was always shown to be someone with strongly held convictions.
Wings was more just Paul with a bunch of professional musicians making inoffensive chart-friendly hits for money. I think if anything he probably made more money than he ever did with the Beatles (John said once that they certainly weren't millionaires). I don't think he was that close to his bandmates on a personal level the way he'd been in the Beatles and couldn't quite be as open with them about his feels.
I liked how the old guest stars were done, they appeared briefly for whatever reason, and that was it. New ones make the whole episode about them being in it, not just a brief cameo.
