Futurama News (pre-season 7)

[Reply #400 on:]

It looks sort of spider-webby outside the windows. A giant ship-catching space spider, or they ran into some Tholians?

They just said that it was a giant space spider that chewed the ship in the podcast! 

[Reply #401 on:]

I know!  I was thinking the same thing:  He called it.

Also, Fry glowing because he drank too much Slurm Loco = genius!

[Reply #402 on:]

No offense, but this forum has definitely gotten a lot jerkier during the time that I've been gone.

Just ignore it. I do.

Where is it that people can't get the podcasts? UK?


*squee*

El-Man predicted it! Woo!
Wonder what's in the Slurm Loco to make Fry glow-y? Are we getting another trip to the Slurm Factory?

Probably gamma rays.  Like they use in dream ads except in extreme quantities.  Then you get special Slurm dreams all night long!

Do I do the 'nailed it!' dance now? Nah, I don't want to look like a dick. 

Anyway, space spider! Wonder if they'll make it look extra creepy?

Planet Express Prom?

THIS IS SOO EXCITING OH YOUR GOD I can't wait.

[Reply #406 on:]

This might sound weird, but does anyone else think Amy's voice sounds a little off in that clip?

[Reply #407 on:]

Voice actors are aging too .

Youtube: Futurama Preview - World is Ending Again for the non USA fans.

[Reply #409 on:]

Uploaded by the wonderful droobey!

Also, that shot of the PE building is awesome!

Also also, noticed an error.

There's 2 chairs between Amy and Zoidberg, plus Zoidberg is stood up, and the Professor's chair is inbetween Amy and Hermes in this shot...



Yet in the shot exactly after this, Zoidberg and Hermes have moved much closer to Amy, the Professor's chair is gone and Zoidberg is sat down...

[Reply #410 on:]

Don't worry. The person who made that mistake was fired... out of a cannon... into the sun.


'...before Fry blew his pants out of the sky, it detected the onset of a catastrophic sun spot cycle'
I know I'm taking the sentence out of context, but it's funny by itself.

People jumping out of windows: what, suicide booths not good enough for you?

This might sound weird, but does anyone else think Amy's voice sounds a little off in that clip?

Maybe Lauren Tom had a cold? I know John DiMaggio recorded some of 'The Series Has Landed' with a cold

[Reply #411 on:]

Ha, Slurm Loco sounds like the 4-Loko of our time!  . What is next??

[Reply #412 on:]

Obviously the Professor's chair floated away somewhere else during the scene change.

[Reply #413 on:]

Maybe the scenes do cover two different meetings. (It appears to be same meeting, though...)

[Reply #414 on:]

This looks sweet.

[Reply #415 on:]

Fry's pants seem to be coming off frequently this upcoming season, and I am very okay with that.

[Reply #416 on:]

Fry probably placed his pants over the water so Leela could cross without getting wet when the tentacle grabbed her (Probably how she broke her leg...)

[Reply #417 on:]

Good call.  The real mystery here is how Fry got his pants off without taking his shoes off first.  Also, aren't Fry's pants supposed to be blown out of the sky at some point during this episode too?

[Reply #418 on:]

Even in the 31st century, it seems people throwing away their pets into the sewers is still a problem.

[Reply #419 on:]

Like Leela?

[Reply #420 on:]

"Mom!  I know I don't call you enough but this is just crossing the line!"

[Reply #421 on:]

This looks sweet.

Show spoiler

Which site did you pull that from?

[Reply #422 on:]

This looks sweet.

Tentacle porn?

[Reply #423 on:]

Oh my... that scene looks so wrong, but I mean that in the best possible way.

[Reply #424 on:]

For some reason it reminded me of this moment:



BECAUSE THEY COULD HAVE JUST GONE AROUND THE DAMN PUDDLE


Why is Leela reaching upwards? Not where I would be reaching out, unless there was something off-screen.

[Reply #425 on:]

Maybe she's being pulled down into the sewers?

[Reply #426 on:]

Maybe she's being pulled down into the sewers?

Probably could have been avoided though... I think we can safely assume Frys pants are to blame. They seem to be causing an awful lot of trouble in this ep.

[Reply #427 on:]

Not sure...But for the first time in his life Fry's heart was beating out of his chest.

[Reply #428 on:]

Fry and Leela prom photo? The quiet but ever-present shipper in me is happy.

[Reply #429 on:]

Why can't Fry and Leela move a couple of meters to their right? There's no water at that side!!

[Reply #430 on:]

Which site did you pull that from?

Same place where we get all the other preview stuff from, either the Comedy Central website or their Tumblr.

[Reply #431 on:]

This looks sweet.

Tentacle porn?

Yep, seems they are aiming for the Asian market...

[Reply #432 on:]

Fry's pants appear to be causing a lot of mayhem.

In other news, a new title has been revealed by the Copyright Catalog: "Leela and the Genestalk".

[Reply #433 on:]

Interesting... Sound sci-fi-y...

Maybe about her Mutant-ness?

[Reply #434 on:]

Interesting... Sound sci-fi-y...

Maybe about her Mutant-ness?

Maybe yes. Maybe not...

[Reply #435 on:]

Well...I hope not.
Purple hair, ellbow talons and a singing butt boild already kinda took Leela out of the race for "least mutated mutant ever". I'd prefer that character to remain on the initially planned "except for the one eye, biologically a completely normal, ordinary human woman" concept.
The writers already granted her enough unnecessary mutations for throwaway jokes, I'd rather not think about their plans should they wish to put the biological aspect of Leela's mutant heritage in the center of an episode...

[Reply #436 on:]

Purple hair isn't part of her Mutant-ness is it?

And the Elbow Talons seemed like a quick throwaway gag, and Susan Boil seemed like a one-time thing too.

[Reply #437 on:]

I assumed it was given that both her parents have purple hair and the regular humans seem to have normal hair colours (excluding hair that was most likely dyed).

[Reply #438 on:]

Yep,
at first, I thought Leela's purple hair was kinda "natural" the same way Simpson-y blue hair is.
But that colour is rather uncommon among NNY's population, so it appears to be a mutation (Of course, with lots of women dying their hair, none that really attracts attention).

[Reply #439 on:]

Ah yes, and her Grandmother and Great-Grandmother.

*edit*

WOW!



I'm guessing this is where the Mayan parody stuff comes in. It also reminds me of something you'd see in Doctor Who, and it reminds me of Alien vs. Predator too...
