Originally posted by Apple Tea: Wow, I was under the impression you guys were older than that. Man now I feel old for some reason. How old is jle? I always thought she was like 13 or something cuz of the 1993 in the name. Holy smokes. Fry_B asks how old Leela could be and hell breaks loose . How many posts were there since I left for the day to break my back for the environment (Crimes of the Hot and Birdbot really make me crack since I'm a bit of environmental person - maybe a bit more than Leela and less than that guy in Birdbot that didn't know spaceships can go up & down) ? Apple Tea, how old are ye? I feel like bloody Grampa and a bit lonely here now after these age disclosures... maybe they are fake (looks hopeful). Well it doesn't matter, young is young at heart ! On Leela's biological clock...phew...was she fighting for Fry++ because she wanted to have kids before her eggs got spoiled (remember Zoidberg's line on her eggs?)... Oh well, all right... take some biologiocal urges in the mix of dark and sweet...shake, do not stir...one Leela coming uuup !Holy Zombie Jesus, the Leela character part should really have been in the Deep Down. I actually wonder if Deep Down should keep going or what the hell the situation is - some moderates and puts deeper discussions on Fry & Leela characters and relationship In Deep Down, should it be closed down and we spill our guts only in the humongous Lovenasium... who is looking after these things ? Shiney, Xanfor, Buddha, Jesus, Robot Devil, someone - can you advise please this uncertainty is killing me or am I getting too excited and Hermes-like for no reason.

This thread only has two more pages of life left in it anyway. Ahh, time flies.
The biological clock thing is interesting in a future context where life-extension seems to be a reality (the Professor is 1.5 centuries old). People probably have a lot more time to kick around and procrastinate.

True enough, although... despite that him being an historical anachronism is something he should remark upon more often when Leela walks all over him and he is demeaned for knowing nothing about the world. He was alive before anyone else and grew up in a time when the modern conveniences of the 3000s were the stuff of science fiction. *****************
FRY: "You know Leela, I was walking this Earth back when your most distant ancestor was still suckling on its mother's breast, so don't treat me like a damn simpleton."
LEELA: (gapes in surprise) "I'm... I'm sorry."
FRY: "A little respect for your elders isn't too much to ask."

Strange, he's younger than Bender(atleast the head) but Bender has 5 girls at a time. The Hip Joint.Interior shot. Bender,Fry,unknown fembot,unknown human woman present. Unknown fembot: So how old are you two? Bender: Me?I'm 25(a lie his either 1050+- eighter 6 (by the end of the series)) Fry: Well I'm 1029(true)
10 minutes after the first scene. The Hip Joint.Exterior shot. Bender,Fry,unknown fembot,unknown human woman present. Bender and unknown fembot sit in one taxi and it goes to Robot Arms Apts, unknown human woman walks away fast, Fry stands all alone. Fry: What did I say rong?

No, Xanfor didn't delete posts...posts almost NEVER get deleted (not even by mods, which neither Xanfor nor I am). What he did was find and quote great big hunks of shippy discussion from OTHER threads in the Shipper Thread so that we'd all get to see more. He was sort of a Shippy Reader's Digest editor... And yes, this thread has gotten "used up" faster than the original (20 pages is thread maximum)...so, shall we start debating possible new names now?

At the moment there are good posts in both, more in Lovenasium. If you don't use it as a successor, DD could be(come) a sort of repository of deeper analysis although there are some off-topic posts (and there will be more of course). To really achieve that someone would need to cut&paste from Lovenasium 1,2,3,... Doing it too much however simply means duplication, & possibly DD becoming boring and a dead duck. What you CAN have is a Lovenasium-style thread coping all the flak (i.e. posts ) and some deeper stuff and more detailed analysis of interesting posts of Lovenasium in DD. I leave it to the more experienced posters to make a decision. If DD becomes the successor I can edit my first message in DD to include a link to Lovenasiums I and II [/u] Ok, enough ranting... oh look, I became a Delivery Boy - don't tip me - at this rate I may get to be a Space Pope before I die of old age

Are we to making new thread time already? >< Bender:... he's either 1050+- eighter 6 (by the end of the series)) Bender's only 5. It's mentioned in some episode I can't remember. Bender: Mischievious little scamp aren't I? *drinks beer* *smokes*

I did... Originally posted by coldangel_1: What do you mean, KKBF? Like, a blow-job? No, probably not her style... I'd say she'd have done something sweet and boring like let him walk her home while holding his hand... *yawn* ...Heh... probably not my finest hour though. No relationship eventuated after that episode so I think we can assume that the kiss was all that happened.

If nothing else, I am a realist.
But you never know... she could have taken him home and had one of those one-night-stands that sometimes happen between friends. You know, the ones that never get mentioned again. She might have shagged his brains out, then gotten worried in the morning about what would become of their friendship and Fry, being the nice idiotic guy he is, would have agreed to let it pass without making a big deal. ...just like real life... *sigh*

And she did the nasty with Alkazar just hours after meeting him... And let's not forget about Zapp...

Yes this was abt doing it with Fry. As for Zapp, Shiny posted a very good possible explanation in the Why Leela did it with Zapp thread. Alkazar's scam was quite compelling - remember Leela's demons (last cyclops, no-one likes me, etc) and all the misleading setting Al put up for her, ioncluding the morphing suit . IMPORTANTLY, in Bicyclops she was not yet at the phase where she knew she was a mutant, parents loved her, she was not totally abandoned, etc. After that her self-estemm improved a lot and there would have been no way she would have fallen for Al. Chaz beats me still, if you read my posts in Deep Down you will see I was really p*ssed about how Fry was treated while she was ready to go for it with Chaz - that is still to be properly investigated (i.e. not find excuses but find out whether it is just chronolgy - i.e. if she evolved from that level towards the end of the series). Finally, I was referring to Leela as she would be towards the end of the last episode, The Devil's Hands. Generally, it is obviuous that she has evolved. Some (or most) of us have been rowdy, stupid, inconsiderate, cruel... at some point in time [ errare humanum est ] - thing is, do we persevere in that [ perseverare diabolicum ] or are we becoming better ? Same applies for Leela. Hope this helps

I can only imagine self-hate as the explanation for some of Leela's past romantic misadventures. She's too smart not to have seen them as mistakes.

Because she's really a sadistic cow deep down. A merciless bitch-goddess who delights in the misery of others. ...Or not.
Maybe in some way she's driven to intentionally prompt feelings of jealous yearning in Fry so that she can feel wanted by him and thus gain a greater sense of self-worth. I've sure known a few women who have delighted in doing just that.

I've sure known a few women who have delighted in doing just that. Convoluted... maybe true. Remember however she did not look for Fry intentionally - she just happened to hear his voice or see him in that joint, and she was very happy she had found someone to look after her pet so she could ... you know. Now of crs your plot (that I am really not sure about) may have been put up by her on the spot once she found him. OR, she thought of him more as a friend / confident. AppleTea's argument stands though, friend / confident or not, if she knew he liked her she could have set him up to look after Nibbler in a less cruel way (women are experts at that - did Leela not sing Deception is the curse of my whimsical gender ?) Also I believe the writer wanted Fry to go as depressive as possible to create a contrast between his state after Leela's request and him being thrown garbage on and his status as saviour of the world (although alas - he remembered none of the good stuff!)

Apple Tea - Thor's Hammer is named 'Mjölnir'. Her appearence of indifference was all part of the act.
Fry_B - yeah, but it was all made up for in the final moments. *contented sigh*
