Cousins...hmmm might explain some common hair features: Or the roundy ended noses. Brother and sister, now that might take all 4 new DVD's to explain, also a bit to Star Warsie. Maybe they're going to be one of those famous cousin couples like Einstein or FDR and Elanor (6th cousins was considered socially acceptable by the Roosevelts).

Maybe she really is an alien... The Turanga clan does sort of look like a cross between Marge Simpson and Kang.

Leela's full name is Turanga Leela, meaning, if she marries Fry, her name would change to Turanga Fry.
Unless her surname is first, like in China or Bajor. But nothing makes me think this is the case; her parentage is Mutant-American-Earthican. Given name first, surname last.
Besides, if she does it like China and Bajor, her married name would be Fry Leela. Urgh.

I just knew Leela's parents as Munda and Morris, and was not aware of the order of their names.
I should be demoted to Poppler for that. Thanks for the welcome.
She "could" convert to her husband's tradition, of course. But she didn't converted to surface culture, even though she was raised on the surface.
MAYBE the orphanarium took care to observe her culture, but if any institution disregards individual culture, it's an orphanarium. And besides, Cookieville thought she was an alien, not a mutant.
Maybe the orphanarium thought she was the Given-Name first Turanga, Surmane last Leela; they had no reason to think she was a mutant and the note didn't mention anything about name order.
If the orphanarium thought this, Leela grew up believing it and grew used to people calling her by (in her mind) her last name, and only would have found out the true order of her names in her adulthood, when it would be a colossal pain to change everything, especiall with 31st century beaurocracy.
But overlooking this problem, my guess is, she goes with Fry Leela.

Golly. Nobody thought of that. Maybe I'll report you to a moderator for spamming.
Go ahead and report me. They'll read your posts, too, and see where the problem is. Way to welcome someone new.
Go be a bitter know-it-all somewhere else. Don't stalk me any more.

Originally posted by Teral: Pffth, stop being so reactionary and traditionbound. In case of a marriage Fry will, of course, take her name; Turanga Phillip.
Wouldn't he be Philip J. Turanga? Fry's Christian name comes first. Leela's Christian name comes second. So if he took her given name, his own Christian name would still come first. Besides, Leela has already married (and divorced) Fry once. I'm sure she's never going to marry him again. Their children will be bastards, and in the future, that's probably a sign of greatness or something. Originally posted by ItsAHawkingHole: stalk me Okay. It seems to be what you want, so okay. I'm going to stalk from thread to thread, picking up on your flaws and generally bugging the crap out of you. Because it seems to be what you want. I feel dirty whenever I start a sentance with "because".
Edit: Actually, it turns out that I'm too lazy to do that. You're not actually worth the effort since you'll just disappear in another two weeks along with the countless trillions of n00bs who couldn't quite cut the delicious PEEL mustard. So I'm just going to forget you ever existed.

I think they'd keep their own surnames. even though i'd still be Leela + Fry but if/when they have kids then it would be ____ turanga Fry

(my apologies if this hasnt been stated.... yet, but...) In my own humble opinion, when the new episodes do air, it should start with both of them dating.... I would like to see Fry make strides with his mentality... and not be a complete douche bag Leela inspires Fry to turn himself around, and actually become more mature, more intellegent (if possible), and actually make something of himself, so that he could perhalps be a provider, and so forth... Nethertheless, this is how I see it, (or would like to see it) Fry has made great strides with being able to produce an entire opera and music from his mind already....

Hey, it [']Leela's Homeworld'] changed a major premise of the series! Perhaps even one of the major premises of the series! Which just proves that it can be done and that Matt, DXC, the writers and whoever else works on the overall series plot is open to that idea. Fry and Leela is also one of those major premises of the series, you know.
quote: --------------------- Originally posted by KurtPikachu2001: A lot of shippers hope that Futurama will pick up from where it left off with Devil's Hands. The whole Fry/Leela relationship thing. ---------------------
I don't care if they bring back the TDHAIP issue, as long as they bring back the Fry+Leela issue.
quote: --------------------- Originally posted by Nerd-o-rama: I feel the need to chime in here: the reasons I always thought of TDHAIP as more "shippy" and leading in to a resolution of the Fry/Leela romantic tension because that's the focus of the episode. In the other three episodes you listed, the Fry/Leela romance was tangential to the main plot (although their friendship was central to The Sting.) In Devil's Hands, it was pretty much the whole point, with other conflicts arising from it. ---------------------
Exactly.
quote: --------------------- Originally posted by i_c_weiner: Because it is a series finale, you think that this ending means that it would continue like that after the series ended. But, since they wrote it so if the series would continue, and it is now continuing, its meant to be more like The Why of Fry's or The Sting's endings. ---------------------
No, no! I agree with what you said about it being the series finale bit, but about it continuing into TWOF and TS endings again? That's borderlining on 'Friends' style relationships. It would be taking a step backwards. And there are other plotlines that need to be cleared up as well, such as the 'Other' prophecy (I smell a Harry Potter spoof), the Yancey-looking hobo, and other miscellaneous mysteries. No, if they conclude the Fry+Leela relationship, so long as they both are happy (and not regular happy, I mean both satisfied with their relationship, weither together or not), than I'm sure us shippers will gladly rejoice.
Now they'd better not let down old fans, We want to see Fry and Leela and BAM! Or else we'll bomb Rupert Murdoch, (slaps head with big rock) Must stop revealing super-secret plans...
Hey, it's fun to still blame Rupert Murdoch. What's he gonna do, cancel us again?

I agree completely... I think we won't be disappointed with what the writers will come up with... Or rioting will come back in style

Last night I had a dream they showed "Meanwhile" right in the middle of the new season instead of at the end, and the ending was Leela getting sucked into a small, blue wormhole or something, leaving Fry and the others behind.

...and the remaining 6 episodes consisted of Fry just sobbing into a pillow for 20 minutes?
Well no, they just aired out of Production Order in my dream, the entire plots of each episode didn't shift to fit in with "Meahwhile" being in the middle.
You should write down the plots you dreamt. Should they fit with the actual episode's plots, you can credit yourself second sight. Though -admittedly- CC will probably just suspect you of somehow having gotten access to the episodes before airing time in an illegal way, and sue you.
