Since Randi's not around, I guess I'll make some salutations to the noob. Welcome to PEEL, Pachyderme. Look around a little, it's a big place. And check out [wikipeelia]WikiPEELia[/wikipeelia], there's a lot of knowledge and some FAQs there to help you out in your noobdom. Holdiay spcieal is well special :P I just dont understand how they made such a horrible ep! Same seuquence of events in every part
It had a tough act to follow after the previous two top notch Xmas eps from the original run, but it failed so tremendously that not only does it not deserve to be cited alongside those two; it doesn't even deserve the Futurama name. I almost feel dirty owning it on DVD. Utterly terrible episode, so bad I think a certain Calculon line would sum it up best...
I know I do! I don't think I've watched the episode twice, not even sure if I've watched it with the commentary yet either. Now that makes me feel dirty.

I was thinking more along the lines of this one: That was so terrible, I think you gave me cancer!...

No, you don't want to sit too near Macaulay Culkin now that he's had puberty installed. It was my fault, on this rare occasion I underestimated you, I'll try not to let it happen again ...

I'm sure Michelle could serve a purpose in the show as the bitch ex-girlfriend we love to hate, but as long as the rest of the episode isn't dragged down because of it. It seems somewhat coincidental that The Cryonic Woman went from a really decent episode to a train wreck soon after she arrived. Perhaps this was more down to the storyline than her character, but her character fuelled the storyline. I guess we'd have to see more of her to know for sure, but I wouldn't mind not seeing her again let's put it that way...
Well, I think she suits perfectly as long as that is her role. And Sarah Silverman acts awesomely as a pain-in-the-ass girlfriend. Hi all, first time poster, so I guess this is my first post Welcome!

I'm sure she does. She's excellent at it though (though I don't know if it's her being herself, or if she's merely good at acting).

Duh.
Who honestly believes that Michelle was ever meant to be likeable? The only reason Fry ever liked her was that he was desperate, and even he couldn't stand her.

Really, That's Lobstertainment was my least favorite episode... Too much Zoidberg!

Haha, the cancer line is so good! Makes me sad that some of the new eps don't have as funny of one liners like the old seasons.
In the new episodes' defense, there were 72 original episodes and we've only seen 13 new episodes (or 29 if you count the 16 episodes that make up the movies/Season 5). As for The Cryonic Woman: I'm pretty sure I've already said this a few times but I don't really hate it. It's not a great episode but the first act with the stuff at Applied Cryogenics saves it for me. And I've said this before as well but I think That's Lobstertainment is actually somewhat underrated. Again, it's not the best episode but it definitely has its moments.

I find that not many like that episode or The Cryonic Woman, Pachyderme. I attribute it to the lack of a Fry/Leela storyline and Zoidberg having to be "on" the whole episode. There are some great moments, like the barbecuing pirate (what? hahaha) but in general I didn't find the storyline as compelling as say, Roswell That Ends Well or The Late Philip J. Fry.

Yeah, but wouldn't TL have to be funny to begin with? I love the sweet Fry/Leela storylines like in Time Keeps on Slippin and The Late Philip J. Fry. We have many shippers here actually, lol. I don't claim to be of any group but I do enjoy the sweet storylines...I didn't think The Cryonic Woman was as bad as everyone said. The storylines involving Leela's parents always dragged it down for me, imo.

Spamming? Didn't think I was doing that. I guess that's up to each individual to decide. I don't think you've spammed either. The ranks (crustacean, delivery boy, professor, et cetera) come from the number of posts you've made. Haha, the cancer line is so good!

Second. The new episodes have had pretty funny one-liners, at more or less the same rate as in the original seasons.

Definitely agree with Aki, lots of good lines in this new season. It had one of my favorites of the entire run (surprisingly from Prop ∞): "Hopes .... deleted." So fantastic.

I didn't like Future Stock that much, I don't know why, I watched it once and never watched it again.
