Okay, I hate pointing out errors and stuff in Futurama, cause it's a comedy and who cares, but whatever. Anyhoo, There's one that I saw that has been bugging me. In AOI 2 when the "Fryhole" opens, you see Leela, Bender, the Professor, and Zoidberg. If Fry had never come to the future, Leela would still be working at the Cryogenics lab, and Bender would be dead. Leela would have no idea who the Professor or Zoidberg were. Zoidberg would be working for the Professor, though. Dunno just bugged me for a while. Who cares, it's funny, but I just wanted to point it out.
By the way if this is a repost, sorry. I searched, but usually I suck at that.

Fry is supposed to come to the future, right? We can then conclude that Bender and Leela are supposed to work at PE - certainly supported by Leela being The Other. So perhaps Leela manages to get fired, or gets the strangest urge to quit her job and become a space captain. Perhaps the suicide machine ends up not killing Bender (nothing that looks particularly deadly to robots, considering the abuse we've seen Bender take), or Bender also gets the strangest feeling that he shouldn't commit suicide and should get a job at a delivery company as a front for his porno ring.

Originally posted by spaulding: but they brought it back For one episode. And Fry didn't remember them. That was the joke. they also abandoned axe instead of ask. 1. That wasn't from the pilot. 2. It wasn't abandoned, just used inconsistantly. Hey, spaulding, do you mind not posting that boy band sig of yours after every post? One per page is more than enough.

I've recently read people talking about Benders full name being Bender Bending Rodriquez. From the Episode "Bender Gets Made Uncut:"
Bender: How 'bout "Blotto"? It's witty, it's got street cred. Plus I can keep my monogrammed slippers.
Wouldn't that suggest that Benders full name would consist of 6 words? B.L.O.T.T.O.?
I don't get this. Am I misunderstanding what monogrammed means?

No, because monogramming involves initials. So instead of "BBR" for "Bender Bending Rodriguez," it would be "BRR" for "Blotto Bending Rodriguez."

Back on topic before this thread gets closed.
I think that Bender never would be killed in the suicide booth. Maybe the knifes and such only got his torso and never reached his brain. Though, Bending in the Wind might disagree with this theory.
Also, Leela would've met them sometime, since she is the career chip consuler person. To that, she might've met Zoidberg before going to PE, since he immigrated from Decapod 10.
Also, if there was a Fry Hole on one end, it's on the other, so the Professor might've had a Fry Hole in the PE building open up, and Bender might've been trying to break in the building at the same time, and Leela may have been updating Zoidberg's career chip or something, so they were all there at the same time.

That's because it hit one part of his brain. It could've been the "flying through space" part, so that could've been the reason why he didn't fly through space rather than drift.

The part of his brain that tells him how to fly through space, showing how he didn't remember he could fly through space rather than drift through space forever. It was just an idea about why he had to drift though space and to explain how the metor went through his brain but didn't change him.

ABI 2005!!! Your English looks ok to me, conparable to my abilities back in 2002, when I took my final Abi exams. English was my third subject to take, it was ok for 13 points. Welcome to PEEL, fellow German. enjoy your stay here at PEEL. PS.: Nice homepage . Anyhow I think you shouldn't show that link here, where also younger people could see it. "Muschis" are a bit too much for them. - ok, shouldn't have posted it. edit: oh, and Bergy was obviously right.

Maybe we'll find out some day...in a comic, or a movie, or even a new episode...more likely one of the first two. Wow, that would be a good movie. Just what if Fry never went into the tube. How would it effect the future? What would Nibbler do? How would Fry's life change?

Perhaps at the other end of the "Fry Hole", it wasn't actually showing the Year 2999/3000, as it is without Fry, but is actually showing said Year when Fry arrives. Was there actually any confirmation that the vision of Bender, Leela, Farnsworth and Zoidberg was actually the year 3000 without Fry? Maybe the "Fry Hole" actually showed an alternate future, in which Fry does go to the future (e.g the year 3000 we've grown accustom to). I mean, we never heard Bender ask past Fry "who are you?". With the exception of Bender's "he's back... and he brung nerds!", there's actually no acknowledgement that Fry is even there (although, there's Zoidberg asking for the pizza and what not, but none directly refering to Fry). It could be as easy to say that in the Year 3000 (when Fry does arrive), the Professor creates a "Fry Hole" (or as he would call it a "Farnsworth Hole" ), and they look into the past and discover Fry. There's no mention to whether or not the crew that appear in the "Fry Hole" don't know who Fry is, and Bender's "he's back" line could be interpreted either way (as in "he's back" refering to Bender not knowing his name is Fry, or "he's back" refering to the past version of Fry). Perhaps the fact that Bender is the only one to appear later in the "Fry Hole" is a sign, that after a day, the other three don't meet up and aren't there, and when Fry and the "Nerds" are sucked into the "Fry Hole", there's no one present on the other side. Because, of course if the universe ends on January 1st 2000, then there'd never be a January 1st 3000, and the "characters" in that time started to vanish away (and maybe that's why Bender disappeared from the "Fry Hole" after Fry smashed the Cyrogenic Tube with the Plus One Mace).
As for the 1st tale, maybe Leela met up with Planet Express just like in the pilot, except Bender isn't present. Fry outruns Leela by himself, lost in the world, and gets trapped in the "Hall of Criminals", Leela begins to feel sorry for Fry throughout the museum scenes (you can actually tell she was getting a little bit concerned already with "don't use force" line), but in the alternate universe without Bender, perhaps she feels even more upset for Fry; whom doesn't have a friend and is trapped in the Year 3000. And actually, throughout the thing, there was again, no reference to whether or not Fry worked for Planet Express or not. Maybe both he and Leela did, but they just weren't "friends" without Bender being there.
Don't you not love it when I write out this boring essays that are nothing but complete assumptions, interpretions and theories and bare very little "real" facts to the actual show?
