Well,I kinda liked the Crud Gang,these are cool designs! but anyways I have the feeling I'm not gonna like this episode at all. I know, Bender is a very popular character or maybe the easiest to write but I think he's getting a lot attention,too much in my opinion, oh well at least we're having a Leela and Fry centric episodes (as characters not as pairing) this summer and I hope that I'm wrong saying this but yeah the plot sounds ridiculous.

Or just I'm maybe a little pissed off because they didn't show a lot from Saturday Morning Pit and I hate to wait. 

Edit: My first TOTPD.

Where is Bender’s shiny metal ass? That’s what he, Leela and Fry are trying to find out in this still image from the upcoming Futurama episode, “Assie Come Home.”

Indeed...

Equipment don't look very modern.

[Reply #404 on:]

I like how Fry and Bender are clearly struggling to walk (low gravity?), while Leela's just putting up with it.

"DEAL WITH IT"

I like this image, it gives me a much better feeling of how this episode is going to turn out; A bit better than rubbish. Bender-centered episodes are mainly not my favorites...

Or because of buoyancy...

I think they are deep sea diving. Diving bell with cable, heavy suits & helmets, darkness, beams from lights, etc.

[Reply #408 on:]

In the trailer it also looked like that

[Reply #409 on:]

Well if any of you guys actually bothered to check the CC post, you would have noticed the picture is entitled "Leela, Bender and Fry Underwater"...

I like this image, it gives me a much better feeling of how this episode is going to turn out; A bit better than rubbish.

I really don't understand comments like this. How can a single still of a scene that may only last a minute or two change an entire opinion on an episode.

....the episode hasn't been shown yet.
I thought Near-Death Wish would be awful, but it turned out alright.
So this Bender-centered episode could be great.

Well..the present image seems more sci-fi-y, and features the trio.
Which is bound to create a better impression than the previous information:
- Bender looking for his ass (a plot suspected of cheap toilet humor)
- A rather present-day streetgang (risk of being not futuristic enough)

Also, Bender is easy to write due to his over-the-top character. Yet -when being left alone- his random shenanigangs might be a bit too much. So, the image indicated the plot -at least partially- will be carried by the Trio.

So, yeah, I can see why that image is eligible to improve the opinion so far.

[Reply #412 on:]

I know it hasn't been shown yet Why would it have a promotional image released if the ep was already out...

What I ment was more like how I tought it would be only looking for his ass and be a bit like the start of Free Will Hunting, it turns out his ass might be underwater. what in heaving is his ass doing in the sea?! More interesting than I tought it would be ^^

[Reply #413 on:]

Looks like a fun episode to me baby, wooo!

[Reply #414 on:]

No irony, I think "Assie Come Home" is such an awesome, hilarious title. I assume people at least get what it's a pun on? Maybe?

The episode looks like a lot of fun to me. As has been said, the main problem with Bender episodes is that he often spends too much time out on his own (though this worked in Godfellas' favor), but since this looks to heavily involve the whole trio/crew I don't see the problem.

[Reply #415 on:]

I remember them in the suit in the trailer

(Sorry I've gone for so long video games) but this isn't the place to talk about that

Right. I didn't actually realise they were underwater.

I'm guessing he is mugged within the first few minutes of the episode, managing to find his other body parts in a montage or a cut scene. The rest of the episode will have him, including Fry and Leela, hunting the entire Universe for his ass plate...

[Reply #420 on:]

And the ass plate is at the bottom of the ocean? I realise now the potential for many inuendos like there was in War is the H-Word

[Reply #421 on:]

I just caught up with the Countdown to Futurama tumblr. My favorite picture has been of Bender carrying apathetic Fry for "The Inhuman Torch". I want Apathetic Fry to be a new meme.

[Reply #422 on:]

Got any captions in mind?

[Reply #423 on:]

First episode goof:

- Bending Units are very common.
- Spare bodies must be available, as they have backup units (except one )

So, getting another spare part ass plate should not really be a problem.
Most certainly Robots-R-Us will have them available in their stores.

[Reply #424 on:]

Well it is Benders ass plate, so he probably has alot of fond memories of it and wouldn't accept anyone elses ass plate that easy. I know I would. Plus it's supposed to have a mind of its own in this episode which I'm pretty sure and hope to God is really rare for robot asses to have.

[Reply #425 on:]

This handsome fellow here is Tarquin. He's a lighthouse keeper who can be seen helping in the search for Bender's ass in the upcoming Futurama episode, " Assie Come Home".

[Reply #426 on:]

So the lighthouse is in this episode

[Reply #427 on:]

That's one of my favorite episodes, so I hope that is the case.

[Reply #428 on:]

My guess:

The Crud Gang steal all of Bender's body (except for the eyes and mouth, obviously) in order to sell it to someone. Outraged, Bender gets the guys together to go rescue it, in which they succeed, however, the gang have already sold his ass as it is probably the most valuable part (they probably sell it to some space merchant or something). Thus begins the quest to save Bender's shiny metal ass.

I think the episode will be fun, to me it sounds like the main trio getting to fly around the universe on a fun/epic adventure, even though it may be for something silly like saving Bender's butt. It is kind of iconic though.

Also, the design for Tarquin is pretty cool.

[Reply #429 on:]

I like these kind of episodes.
The main characters going on an excruciating adventure in order of fulfill a silly goal.
I'm looking forward to this episode.

[Reply #430 on:]

Also, the design for Tarquin is pretty cool.

He looks like the Futurama version of the sea captain from The Simpsons. Which gives me a certain expectation for his voice, and I'll probably be slightly disappointed if that expectation isn't met.

[Reply #431 on:]

The adorableness. It's so cute, it's killing me. Also, Tarquin reminds me of Dr. Marvin Monroe.

Heh. The beard. I see it now. Although, now that you've pointed this out, I'm going to have difficulty in unseeing it, so it might not be as amusing to me in an hour or so.

[Reply #433 on:]

Haha! Oh my, Hermes looks ridiculously funny. In a good way.

ACH is probably one of the episodes I'm less interested in. On the other hand, the character designs for SMFP are too friggin amazing to ignore.

I still want to see John and Hubert in that style. Actually, scratch that. I'd rather see stuff from the other segments.
