Hm... very well chosen thread title... well AL 1 isn't that hard to crack. Each alien Character stands for a normal latin one. AL 2 (BetaCrypt 3 ???) is a bit, but realy only a bit, more complex. But it still is an easy algorithm you can decode from simple observing. hint: Whenever there are two signs in a row, it means that the second one is an "a"

"What you talkin' 'bout, Willis?" There are no organised effort to crack AL3, for the very simple reason that it's futile. We have at best 3 examples of AL3 (and 2 of them pretty questionable), and no rosetta stone as we did on AL2.

I judge Leela's bracelet to be the non-questionable one. One of the questionable appears in "My Three Suns" as a sign in the throne room. Pic in this thread. The eyechart was the second questionable one. Either way, we're light years away from cracking an eventual AL3. AL2 wasn't cracked before we got the rosetta stone in "The Day The Earth Stood Stupid", and we'll need something equally clear for AL3. Maybe even a few of them.

I think in "The Series Has Landed" David X Cohen says something about decoding the language. "Tasty Human Burgers" the sign said.

There were no fifth season. "Leela's Homeworld" was the second episode of season 4, there were 16 additional episodes after that one.

Right, we generally go by production season here. Rough Draft studios produced four full seasons of Futurama. FOX Broadcasting spread them out over five airing seasons, because they're retarded. We usually call these "McSeasons" to avoid confusion. Since most people on this board are either foreign, like my Danish compadre above, or got into Futurama based on the reruns or the DVDs, like me, we like to think of it as having four seasons. And no, it doesn't look like there were any more "AL3" appearances after Leela's homeworld. If you really want to see AL3, you'll help campaign for new episodes or a movie ( Check this thread for the latest crackpot scheme.)

There is no OFFICIAL AL3. Yes, those glyphs on Leela's bracelet may be possible, but the series never developed long enough to make that a confirmation. One thing I would wonder is what 3 characters could say anyway (meaningful-wise)... In "My Three Suns", I almost thought that was the Aurebesh font... It isn't though. Some characters look similar. This very site (CGEF) has decoders for AL1 and 2. One character is missing from AL2. If you want even more details, go to http://usuarios.lycos.es/bbrp/index_eng.html He's got all the sightings (even stuff that NOBODY would look for). And other strange characters that show up.
