I think the 13th season is when The Simpsons started to rebound a bit. The episodes were never the same as their peak period, but the episodes are entertaining, and they don't annoy in the way that the weakest ones do.
So this episode is actually pretty good. Homer gets a strange first act, which is still pretty amusing, and then there's always something enjoyable about seeing Burns-heavy episodes. It's fun. The last act feels a little rushed. Once Snake is introduced, the story moves much faster than it should. The pacing could have been fixed by eliminating the first act, picking up with the second, and developing the story a little better.
Regardless, the episode is perfectly fine. Still not my favorite of the season - that was Jaws Wired Shut.
