Futurama News (including but not limited to Countdown to Season 7)

Called it.

[Reply #281 on:]

Does Hermes get an Iron Man heart.. b/c it seems that way.

So he's becoming more Brock Sampson esque... cool.

I'm glad this suggests that the dumb Mecha Hermes will only be in a small fraction of the ep... or just in one act.

[Reply #282 on:]

It seems that implants are to Hermes what butter is to Amy.

Also, I just saw another ad where a spotlight turret emerged from the top of the PE building and shone the Planet Express logo into the sky like the bat signal.

[Reply #283 on:]

These previews seem to be a little random, which is a good thing.

Here is the plot description of "Fun on a Bun":

Fry is the victim of a horrific sausage-making accident.

I guess that title is a literal translation then.

I nearly choked on my coffee when I read that. It sounds deliciously random.

To be honest, All of 7ACV07-7ACV10 sounds brilliant. Like, a four week streak of excellent episodes.

I fail to see how this will be "epic" or "the best of the season" but I can't wait to see how it turns out!

[Reply #288 on:]

This is the Emmy-shot episode too.

*edit*

Today's Countdown item, the 'Mark 7-G Robot'. Loving it.

[Reply #289 on:]

Derp.  They put the scale lines on there but nothing to scale it to.  Probably about as tall as Fry though.

"Mark 7-G" doesn't mean anything to me.  Something from the Central Bureaucracy perhaps?

Well..there is one human body part most suitable to be mistaken for a sausage. Should that be the case, this episode will have difficulties reaching an "epic" scale, but will probably get lots of "Woo-hoo" shouts by Bender

Today's promos.

[Reply #292 on:]

Today's promos.

Very Frankenstein-y - My guess is that the bottom promo is how he'll look once every metal component is removed...

[Reply #293 on:]

Looks pretty disturbing...

Something that caught my attention, in one of the podcasts, not sure which (possibly the 3rd one), DXC mentions that Bender becoming a photographer in TTOB is just a B-plot, which suggests the 'life-force removal' thing is gonna be more important. They also mention that the process of removing the crew's life-forces is pretty creepy yet sci-fi.

My guess is that the bottom promo is how he'll look once every metal component is removed...

The notes say "Ventriloquist Dummy", and the image is named "Lil Hermes".

[Reply #294 on:]

Poor Hermes, fucking eh.

[Reply #295 on:]

Oh my. Now that is exactly the kind of thing I wanted from this episode. At least we know now that he won't jump from being a fat bureaucrat to an oversized tank in a few minutes.

Glad to see that it'll be gradual progression.

[Reply #296 on:]

Aw man, Hermes looks so cool in that first drawing!  I can't wait for this episode.

I'll bet there's gonna be some interesting interaction between he and Bender.

It's probable that Bender will favor the upgrades (with Hermes approaching the highest form of existence, the robotic one ).

After how well he and Bender got along by themselves in LI, I would be very excited to see them hit it off again.  You know, going out and doing robot stuff.

[Reply #299 on:]

There might also be another (logical) reason for Bender approving Hermes upgrades:

There will probably be two voices in Hermes head, one going "Yep, that's the right thing to do" and the other "Nope, this is wrong, don't".
Showing that inner conflict/though process with Hermes alone is rather difficult .
But it can be done by transfering those inner voices to external characters, with Bender saying "Do it", and another "Don't" (probably Leela as "voice of reason", though she is basically not in the position to critizise someone for becoming over-obsessed with something;) )

They could use the Professor for that role. It could open up subplots involving flashbacks where the he also once decided to be a cyborg (or something).

[Reply #301 on:]

Yep, theroretically, it could be any character.
The "human turning into a cyborg" plays just too much into the "mad scientist field", that I would really buy Farnsworth objection (personal opinion, of course).

creepy

I'm glad we're seeing some Zoidberg, looks cool

[Reply #304 on:]

I'm always up for seeing Zoidberg's comedy routines get booed off the stage.

[Reply #305 on:]

So they use Hermes remains to make a puppet? That is creepy... I imagine it's the Professor's idea... And Zoidberg sees it as an opportunity.

[Reply #306 on:]

This episode looks more and more fucked.

Zoidberg performing again is good, he'll probably be a hit with the cadaver puppet.

This episode seems very Sealab 2021 esque to me.

Hermes becomes a Freakbot.. if you catch my drift.

[Reply #307 on:]

Anyone else hear a skipping record?

[Reply #308 on:]

No, just a mewling quim.

[Reply #309 on:]

I can't say that I'm surprised.

Seriously though, this one's looking great. Can't wait for more info on the next two episodes.

[Reply #310 on:]

Good thing to see Hermes being a puppet......Without the brain part of course! I wonder what kind of "humorous" Jokes Zoidberg has for us this time!  

[Reply #311 on:]

No, just a mewling quim.

You lack conviction.

[Reply #312 on:]

No, just a mewling quim.

At least say whining cunt.. this isn't 'The Avengers' fourm.

I like the Hermes with the robotic visor, arm and chest... so take that people who think I only hate.

Sorry... that I think Sealab beat Futurama to the punch almost ten years ago... and that they are being far too hard on poor Hermes.

I bet Chubby Carol will have a cameo... she had better.

Un true.. every time you do acid/boomers... bazzziiiingggg, you see things never before seen, and can experince feelings never before felt by your own mind.. or anyone else's!

It hasn't all been done yet... that's BS.

As an agnostic I had to look that up.. bravo..  I rarely have to do that.

This thread is for adult discussion of upcoming Futurama, not childish fighting. Knock off the bullshit, all of you.

WTF.

[Reply #318 on:]

No, but seriously, Futurama is an excellent show and "The Six Billion Dollar Mon" is my most anticipated episode of this upcoming run at the minute.

[Reply #319 on:]

I was just browsing ebay, and I suddenly realized this cover for Season 4. I don't remember it looking like this! Does anybody have a clue to what this may be about?
