Is it overly geeky that it bothered me that Takei was piloting an NX and Bakula was flying a Constitution-ish?

I watched it for the first time, I loved it, I thought it was great. I would say BBS is the best so far, then BG, and then BWBB. I felt like there could have been a little more Fry dialogue, but other than that I thought it was great. Who knows maybe I need to watch it again, which I definitely will. I loved it overall. The intro was pretty cool, it felt like the 60's. That or a drug trip. They go hand in hand ha ha.

On second look, Bakula's ship looks much closer to an Ambassador than a Constitution

Here's mine: Bender's Game v v v v Bender's Big Score v v v v Beast with a billion Backs

framegrabs: note to self: never spend an hour uploading 15 framegrabs to the internet ever But I'm glad you did. If you had told me that this movie was going to have a Fry/Leela shower scene, Leela getting off on a shock collar and an extended Amy/Leela kissing scene, I would have said, "Hell, I'd sit through Mom doing a pole dance to see that!" And so it came to pass.

B+Lots of great "geek" humor, the instant-classic Leela/Amy make-out session (even Bender was aroused! ) and the unexpected revelation of Igner's parentage actually fit (as did the extra background for Nibbler), but the film had a really abrupt ending (and who wants to bet they'll just ignore/reset the whole Dark Matter fuel crisis in the next movie?). Still, there were plenty of laughs in this installment, although I'm still holding out hopes for ITWGY to be an out-and-out ship-fest and give us some Fry/Leela Amy/Kif closure. "Those burgers are great! You can eat live eight of them and not gain any weight due to the diharhea!"

You're lucky, in America ! In France, we can't see "Bender's Game" before April ... And the French version is so bad ! (I don't know if you understand what I say, because I translate my sentences in English with the automatic translator ...).

Actually it's elles sont très magnifiques. ** I liked the Scary Door segment, the part with the montage of Morbo's interviews, and that random bit with the un-camouflaged rabbit getting eaten by the polar bear. Those were all relatively amusing.

Actually it's elles No, I meant the jokes...yeah, that's it...After watching it a few times I'm liking it pretty well. I think the long anticipation of it being a send-up of the fantasy genre had me expecting a different movie. The first time, I was very impatient sitting through the regular crazy world, thinking "when will they go into the parallel fantasy universe?" Now, I'm picking up some of the humor in the first two thirds and it is fairly good. The robot asylum was already over-mined in my opinion, but I appreciate some things like The Scary Door episode and the Professor's moody antics. Leela's anger management didn't do much to develop her character but it was entertaining. And I also liked the killbots. I think "epic length" does not necessarily equate to epic or epically funny. I rank this around the 30th percentile of the series episodes, which still places it rather high in my personal spectrum of the entertainment universe.

Igner made me laugh my ass off. He has to be one of my top favorite characters now. Its because hes so innocent. I wander whats going to happen in the next one considering, we now know Igner is Farnsworth's son. Will he stay with his mom, or go with his dad, or will it be a joint custody. There had to be another dumb person on the Fry blood line sooner or later. The robot asylum was already over-mined in my opinion, but I appreciate some things like The Scary Door episode and the Professor's moody antics. Leela's anger management didn't do much to develop her character but it was entertaining. And I also liked the killbots.
I thought the hammers in the robot asylum were classic. Also the look in Benders eyes when he was sitting in his cell yelling help. That was hilarious, he really looked like a nut job. I think they did a good job using the robot asylum again. It was great to see Roberto again though, hes awsome.

I DIDN'T GET IT. I wrote more about this in my futurama group on facebook. But basically, I'm not into fantasy, never played D & D, WoW, or seen stuff like LOTR...all that humor was lost on me. how sad...

I noticed that, too, but given what Takei said I found it rather amusing. Bender's Game short review: Lot's of gags that made me laugh hard, but I have to admit that the plot (if you want to call that way) was inferior to the previous DVDs. Also, I think it would be a lot less funny if you had to watch Bender's Game split up into several episodes. Nevertheless, it's enjoyable and perhaps the funniest of the DVDs so far.

That could be the reason, but I just didn't like it much at all. I was watching it thinking "Hold on, this is Futurama your fave show ever, why are you bored?". I watched Anthology Of Interest I yesterday and I still flat out love it. So I haven't gone off the show. Once I've worked out everything that went wrong I might make a proper post about it. I'm not used to disliking this show so it's hard...

Plot is weak compared to "interdimensional infinite-tentacled alien dates the entire human raceuniverse?"
