Re: The Prisoner of Benda: IIRC, DXC mentioned that Ken Keeler proved a theorem that provides the denouement for the episode. It's very likely in this image that one of the writers Tweeted a while back: If I understand it correctly, the theorem is really quite simple, about the level of a homework problem for an undergraduate class in discrete math/computer algorithms. I'm guessing what happens in the episode is that everyone swaps bodies and they need to undo the swap at the end, but (1) for some reason they're imprisoned/restrained in such a manner that they can only do swaps where one end of the machine has to operate on one of two specific bodies and (2) the machine has a limited number of uses left, so they have to figure out how to unswap everybody as efficiently as possible.

If Fry was mutated by falling into the lake, that would be a nifty little callback. I honestly have no idea of what to expect from the finale, but I'm excited all the same. This season flew by, man.

With Fry becoming mutated, I assume it is going to end up with the Proff inventing some Anti-Mutagen and creating a question of whether or not the other mutants even want to use it. For instance if Leela used it she wouldn't be the One Eyed, Big nosed, Elbow Taloned Mutant we(and Fry) know and love. Maybe questions of whether being a mutant is what makes them who they are and what not..

Well, the preview does show Fry jumping into the pond and Leela's reaction to the result.

Which is? I'm afraid that I don't have access to previews over here in Europe...
You mean the UK. Damn Brits thinking they own Europe.

If however Fry is to stay like that, I'll still watch this show to the end and beyond.
Because you wouldn't otherwise?

Even Zoidberg is disgusted by him. I'd guess Fry's screwed up genes made him extra messed up.
The professor has his pre mutant genes so he could fix him up which would allow none of the other mutants to be.

That makes sense. Or even just clone him a new body. They got the brain transfer devise, and unlike Scruffy the Proff isn't bound by ethics.

if the mutants don't win their freedom, then how does leela get back? i don't think she would be cured since she's been that way the entire series.
how could leela come back without being cured?
I'm sure there will be some loophole that would allow Leela alone to return to the surface; likewise, Fry will somehow be cured. I also like the theory that some kind of mutant antidote, if you will, exists, but the mutants opt not to use it because they appreciate their hideous mutations.

Lots of news from this interview: http://ifmagazine.com/feature.asp?article=39551. The first 13 episodes of season 6 are being released on DVD in December (presumably region 1 only at this point). 2. Holiday Val-U-Pak is scheduled for a 21st of November airdate. 3. The 3-segment animation special episode is indeed going to be the last episode of season 6. 4. Said episode is named 'Resurrection'. That makes for a nice book-end title along with 'Rebirth'. 5. Holiday Val-U-Pak is a musical. Very minor spoilers ahead: 6. We'd all presumed this anyway, but Robot Santa will appear in Holiday Val-U-Pak.
7. An upcoming episode sees Bender going into the witness relocation program to hide from the Robot Mafia. 8. I'm not sure when the interview actually took place, but David X. Cohen acts like they haven't been renewed yet suggesting that the 3 seasons thing isn't true. Or maybe he just knows he can't talk about it yet. 9. David still wants to make a Futurama movie. Let's all write angry letters to Fox like he says!

Aren't DVDs released later in the US due to reruns and syndication?
