There isn't any. According to NastyInThePasty, who got an advanced screening copy, they don't show anything regarding how Leela deals with the fact that Lars was Fry. I always thought that was a major part of BBS, her realizing that. I haven't seen it myself so I don't know anything else. The shipper in me says it will be addressed later because they've got the hole Yivo thing to deal with in BWABB. On the other hand the cynic in me says our old friend the reset-button has reared his ugly head.....again. Actually, there's a smidgen of Fry/Leela interaction at the end... When Fry's relationship with Colleen fails to pan out, he decides to go with "the right person right in front of me", but Leela rightfully rebuffs him because he hooked up with Colleen so quickly after the events in BBS, which leads me to hope for a little more shippiness in the final two Futrama movies. Then again, considering the "Anthology Of Interest"-like preview for Bender's Game, maybe any significant Fry/Leela stuff will have to be resolved in Into The Wild Green Yonder.

There is no continuity at all in the show beyond pivotal 'anchor points', like Fry's cryogenic freezing, the Brainspawn, and such. Beyond those mythology elements, every depiction is a disconnected standalone, just like The Simpsons, so gnashing teeth over the show not displaying any repurcussions from the previous episode(s) is pointless.

I know but I mean out of his current state of character. Then again apparently continuity means NOTHING to these people anymore.

Although if you wanted to read more into it than is really there, you could say that he's trying to force himself to move on from a non-responsive Leela... or even on some subconscious level trying to make her jealous.

Yes, it's quite clearly Leela now. Wearing a red cabbage, apparently.

You mean like Ruth and Naomi?
And Noemi said to her: Behold thy kinswoman is returned to her people, and to her gods, go thou with her. She answered: Be not against me, to desire that I should leave thee and depart: for whithersoever thou shalt go, I will go: and where thou shalt dwell, I also will dwell. Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. The land that shall receive thee dying, in the same will I die: and there will I be buried. The Lord do so and so to me, and add more also, if aught but death part me and thee. ~ Ruth 1:15-17

Everybody out of the universe. Quick! Frisco has created art...sort of. I'm only posting this here because it's ship related. I'm sure you've all heard me say this at one point or another and I've just gotten tired of typing it. So here's my new sig so I don't ever have to type it again.

No I really did screw it up. I went back and fixed the picture then edited my signature. Hence the winking smiley. Let's see I fooled...3 people. Well I've reached my sneaky bastard quota for today.

Read the story, Winna. Yancy is pissed at Fry for "stealing" his life. A life with a trophy bride, cornering the stock market and becoming the richest man in the world.
Sounds pretty materialistic to me.
As for Leela, from various episodes:
"I'm dating Chaz, he's a very important man."
"If you were my kids, you'd get quite the talking to from your father, the Senator."
"I want to date somebody who everybody else doesn't think is crummy. I deserve that."
The Hero-worship she gave Zapp Brannigan before she realized he was a dumb, gross gorilla.
Sorry, Leela likes the idea of being attached to somebody wealthy and powerful. She likes the idea of being wealthy and powerful herself.
I have to say that Arch's story so far is making Leela a not very likable or sympathtic person. She's taken every cheap shot she can at Fry, dissing him about Evila, then never appologizing to him when Evila struck again. She rides Fry's ass whether he deserves it or not and only sees the negative things about him.
Sounds just like a woman I almost married.
