I figured.

Here's to more DVD movies after a nice break.

[Reply #201 on:]

Ew! Please tell me they're joking with us. It sounds really awful. I guess The Simpsons really is ending after Season 25. It'll most definitely be Non-canon though.

[Reply #202 on:]

I don't think that he meant that the crossover is happening, I think he meant sometime in the future, if possible. Check the infosphere, there's no episode this season with the crossover and if there is and for some reason this is the first time we hear about it, I am 100% sure it isn't in the finale.

[Reply #203 on:]

The crossover is a Simpsons episode, not a Futurama produced episode.

[Reply #204 on:]

oh okay

[Reply #205 on:]

Hey did anybody happen to be at the Futurama panel today? How was the first act of the final episode? I only found like 5 clips on instagram

[Reply #206 on:]

What clips?

[Reply #207 on:]

I saw a Vine post on Twitter of the live table-read, it was just Katey Sagal screaming in Leela's voice then Billy West shouting "Leela!" in Fry's voice.

[Reply #208 on:]

Yeah I saw that one too, along with one clip of Fry crying and saying
he didn't even tell her he loved her and bender saying you
told her 140 times.

Aha, I like the reference to how the show has only 140 episodes so far at that point.

I didn't catch that 140 refrence, that's funny.

Stop doubleposting. Use the damn edit button, or else just wait for somebody else to say something that's not a complete waste of time for other people to read. Go read the manual, and come back when you know how this place works. Don't make a concious decision to have less value than a half-sucked goober.

Sounds like somebody is picking up Futurama for more.

Matt and David said they aren't allowed to talk until CC has finished airing the episodes, but to get excited for more!!

Futurama forever!

There will be a Futurama crossover episode. The plot will revolve around bad boys Bender and Bart: “Bender has to come back from the future to kill Bart because there’s something that Bart does now that makes the future really, really, really bad,” says Al Jean. The crossover episode was penned by Simpsons co-executive producer J. Stewart Burns, who has also written for Futurama. It is slated to air on Fox as either the season 25 finale in May 2014 or as the season 26 premiere in fall 2014. (InsideTV Entertainment Weekly)

Well, I'll be sure to not open this thread until I see the episode due to fear of spoilers.

Bye, fellow "The LAST Futurama News Thread... Forever? (Caution: Spoilers)" PEELers!

I, for one, read the "MAJOR SPOILERS!!!" article and from what I can tell, it's very promising! Regarding the cliffhanger of the first act, that's no surprise, as we all saw that in the very first preview clip for season 7B.

Even more detailed about 'meanwhile' SPOILERS!!

Show spoiler

Spoilers ahead!

We begin with everybody visiting Luna Park, where people on the rides are advised to "barf with the wind." When Bender vomits up a bunch of bolts, one catches in the machinery and sends Leela shooting outside the Moon dome to her death. Luckily, she has a Leela-sized balloon with her and manages to survive by inhaling oxygen from it and hiding inside a stuffed animal (long story). When she returns to the Moon safe and sound, Fry realizes that he can't live without her and needs to propose. "Awww, my little meatbag is growing up," Bender says when he hears Fry's plan.

Get ready for Futurama‘s death by snu snu

Let it be noted that as the table reading was going on, producer David X. Cohen was reading the set directions, one of which included: "Fry's eyes narrow as in the Fry Meme image."

Meanwhile, the professor has invented a "time button" which allows him to reverse time by 10 seconds. There's a great scene, full of careful time travel plotting (yes, really) where we see the principle. Why doesn't the button take them back infinitely, if you press the button again and again? Well, it needs ten seconds to charge up again. So you can relive the same ten seconds, but you can't go any further than that. Plus, the professor also has a "time shelter," which isn't affected by the backwards jumps. So time keeps going forward normally inside the shelter, but changes outside.

Immediately, Fry and Bender use the button to steal a ton of diamonds for the ring that Fry presents to Leela later that day at a restaurant. He tells her to meet him at the Vampire State Building that evening if she wants to accept, and not to show up if she doesn't. Fry's plan is to keep hitting the button over and over so that the sunset lasts for a really long time while they enjoy their proto-nuptial moment. What could go wrong? Pretty much everything.

Leela doesn't show up, so Fry decides to throw himself off the building. But then he sees Leela arriving, and realizes his watch is 35 minutes fast because he's been jumping backward in time but his watch kept running. So Leela has come! Luckily, Fry can jump backward ten seconds in time and erase his jump . . . except unfortunately he can only go back to the point when he started falling. It's an infinite jump loop! Can the gang inside the time shelter help him? Given that the second act ends with Fry splatting into a giant pile of bloody goop in front of Leela, there's going to be a lot to, um, clean up in the final act. When it airs September 4, you'll know all.

Oh, so

Show spoiler

Leela's close death is explained in a proper way. Sweett! Now the only thing I don't like is how Fry decided to die, just cause he was rejected again. He should be used to it, man. But maybe that'll actually work for me once I see it.

Real excited for this Final Episode!

Sounds like a great way to close off :/ I'm sure time travel will play a role in bringing Fry back.

[Reply #226 on:]

Most admit:

Show spoiler

I did not really like the past season-6A-whiny Fry, and the suicide in Overclockwise was not really the best plot device. So, a repetition of the "Leela is gone, that's my only reason to live and I will kill myself" theme does not really get me hooked for the last episode. I was expecting something more epic. But whiny Fry trying to end his life sounds rather underdimensioned...

[Reply #227 on:]

My thoughts/prediction:

Show spoiler

I have a horrible feeling that the way they 'save' fry, is that they don't 'save' him from death at all, but rather just find the duplicate fry from 40% leadbelly and have him instead. I know that this is an awful idea/twist, but I just have a horrible feeling that this may be the case.

I doubt they will use that solution. Like Robot Fry, Plastic Duplicate Fry will most certainly never be seen again.
What I wondered: Fry and Bender made a big effort stealing tons of diamonds for the ring.
Now, it's been established in movies that lots of diamonds are often necessary for certain machines, e.g. a doomsday laser's lens. Yet -so far- we haven't heard of any use for the ring beyond the proposition. So I assume that ring's nature/background will turn out to be plot element to clean up the mess.
