Merry Xmas to all! Watching the Xmas episodes though made me wonder a few things. 1) Santa has been around for 200 years 2) He only visits Earth one night a year 3) People (well, some people like the crew for instance) know where he resides the rest of the year 4) He is just one robot I wonder why he has been allowed to torment Earth every Xmas Eve since 2801. Why haven't the Earth Army gone to Neptune in say June and destroyed him, since he is only one robot and probably no match for an Army. Or why not shoot his sleigh and blow it up as he heads to Earth? I like the Xmas episodes (although I think the first one was much better than the second) and I know they are there to entertain but any possible answers to this would be welcomed. Merry Xmas once again!

Or why not shoot his sleigh and blow it up as he heads to Earth? I did wonder so, too. One atack of the NIMBUS or a similar ship and Santa Claus would be as dead as cold ash. My idea is that Santa Claus is "used" by the Earth Gouvernment to controll the inhabitants of Earth ("fellow Earthicans" ). The society of the 4th millenia is very free: Especially free of cultural tabus. That way Santa Claus is kind of a guarantee that the people on Earth do not forget morals and cultural tabus totally. It's just like with the taxes: If you don't pay them, you'll meet the pain monster at April 15th .. ... and if you spam at PEEL, you'll meet the Tweek

The Earth Army taking out Santa? That's rich. The Earth army is as incompetent as they come. It's a force consisting of frehsly recruited idiots, with units formed and trained on the go. True they might have some good weapons, but when the people behind the trigger is of the caliber we've seen in the Earth Army... Don't count on DOOP either. Their only victories happened against pacifist and/or unarmed opponents, whenever they face serious opposition they crumble like a tincan in a car compactor. Plus in either case, Zapp Brannigan would lead the attack. In the other corner we have Santa, a ruthless killing machine who can turn NNY into a burning ruin in mere hours, have no moral objections at all and acces to advanced weaponry (and a will to use them). The Earth Army is probably more than interested in taking out Santa, they just lack the competence.

Whatever happened to the old santa? Why'd they replace him?

Don't forget how good of a job the Hubble Space Telescope did on Earth's army ! The question is: If Mom's friendly robot corporation could build the original robot, couldn't they build a new one with the correct programming? The original Santa would be ruled evil, and there is a one in two chance that the "good" santa would win.

Good point, M0le. Also, to quote Santa "If I don't complete my brutal rampage, well, it just wouldn't be X-mas." I think people just like him to be around, spreading fear and death. He is like a suicide booth where you don't have to put in a quarter!
