What I'm worried about is that it might be _too_ similar. Ofcourse this one is actually shot to resemble a video game, not reference it a lot, but it will have a lot of video game influences as well, no doubt. I don't think it's just about the video game animation, but about the style it is written... can't come up with a good example for the video game one, but with anime for example there would be massive action sequences and a lot of exaggeration in the vocal lines.
Shouldn't this be in the speculation thread, not the news?

I'm liking the sound of this animation styles ep, but two things need to be done properly. One it needs to have a reason for these different animation styles. It shouldn't just be because they can, it should be integral to the storyline in some way, even if it's the What If Machine or something like that. Secondly the 8-Bit one should literally be that, 8-bit, not some cop-out, but actually go the whole way, the real deal! I bet they won't. Also make it better than the new Xmas ep, for the love of god!...

Is that what you can deduce from the lack of information or is there an actual article on the matter?

I'm not merely deducing on this one. But there is no article you can link in your wiki, either. Or does the same statement on CGEF count? :P

Yes, that at least is easier to link to. I am not sure how to perfect individual postings on this here forum. Some forum software allows single post viewings, which can be used as reference where context (i.e. the posts surrounding it) are not important.

The excuse is still lame. I have never been a fan of universal translators in science-fiction.
It might be lame, but I really don't see how it ruins The Sting. That's just silly. Marc's news: Dang. That is very discouraging. Hopefully they will make a decision shortly after the DVDs go on sale? The ratings started strong, but seemed to gradually drop , so that might be what is making the decision-makers hold off on ordering more episodes. Still, it's hard for me to believe that it's flat out unprofitable, when you factor in legally-paid-for downloads and DVD sales.

I'm a little bit worried about Ghost in the Machines... they already killed Fry and had him reappear as a "ghost". Such an episode need a real emotional turbulence in the moment of death and until he reappears, and 20 minutes is rarely enough time for that. They did it well in The Sting, but can they do it as well again? AND find a good reason for him to resurrect without it being entirely non-canon?

I'm sure it will turn out fine. No need to worry.
I have a feeling that we may see a good Zoidberg ep for once.

Yeah, me too... I hope for the Zoidberg one to actually be emotional too.

You seem sure that he's writing Overclockwise, CommanderZapp. Can you please tell me when and where they said that he was writing the canon finale?
Also, the episode where Fry becomes a cop is the only one I'm not too happy about. Seems like it's been done many times before, but I guess it may turn out to be decent.

You should at least check the Infosphere or Google before asking stupid questions. "Now I will say at this point, having written the last episode for FOX, and the last DVD for the DVD releases, and now being back again, and being pretty far along in production, we’re the show with the most experience in writing our last episode ever. We’re getting good at it – we’re doing our third one that we’re actually working on here at the moment – they’ve all been written by Ken Keeler, I should mention, who is writing his third last episode ever." — Cohen, David Zalben, Alex (22 June 2010). http://www.ugo.com/tv/futurama-david-x-cohen-interview

Oh, I thought that meant that he was writing the Reincarnation episode. Sorry...

It meant he was writing the finale, which also was exactly what you asked about. What is considered the finale is a totally different question, but they seem to mean Overclockwise.

The quotation is on The Infosphere, as is the link. But the quotation in itself is misleading, as it doesn't say which finale Ken Keeler is writing, the "real" one or the one that is the final episode. Confusing? Yeah.

The quote is misleading, and the article in question to should take that stance on it. While I cannot say for sure, I am going to assume Keeler is writing "Overclockwise" and not "Reincarnation".

That's my thought too, and that should be cleared up in the article when I have the time, or some gentle soul (Svip) comes by and does it.

If the almighty "Svip" says so, the "Svip" shall people follow.And, yeah. That's what (almost, perhaps...) everyone thinks anyway. Thanks for clearing that up.But still, Mike Rowe shall NOT write "Futurama Reincarnation", We want to bring back Eric Kaplan!
