I'd disagree with the term "any", that's a fairly large asumption. Any is the same as Every. Besides, it depends on the true intentions of the woman, not neccassarily Leela in this case. Why would you fuck with peoples emotions like that? Again, depends on the woman's intentions. Perhaps (and this is an asumption in itself) she is reluctant to give the man what he wants straight away otherwise she'd fear him becoming arrogant and niave, though at the time this would be extremely unfair on the man, yes. But some other women would (presumedly) get lots of satisfaction from fucking with guys' emotions, and they are the bitches. But that comes back to my previous point that while there are people who play hard-to-get deliberately to be bitches, not every one who plays hard-to-get are bitches. It's just a question of which side you think Leela was playing, based on what you think of her character, and that will differ from person to person. And why didn't Fry just give up like a normal human being? Well he's not a normal human being, he's his own Grandpa for one

Originally posted by TheLampIncident: I think watching Leela in some of those shippy episodes is like walking into a concrete wall over and over again. For some reason nobody can understand, she won't accept Fry for what he is. It's like she's determined to be a bitch. 2 possible answers. a) She's uncertain about Fry's intentions and whether he's completely honest with her when he says he love her. Sean said he loved her, but in the end it was just a line to get into her pants. Same thing with Alcazar, Zapp, Adlai turned out to be a jerk, so did Chaz. Basically every guy she's dated was either only after her body or ws a jerk (that's love for ya'). Why should Fry be any different? Particular after he taught Zoidberg how to fake feelings and con women right in front of her. So she needs time to figure out if Fry is honest/for real, rather than getting hurt again. b) She likes Fry as a friend, but doesn't love him the way he loves her.

I think that the Bender-age episodes are chronic, but I feel that away about most character-based episodes, (particularly Ziodberd. Oy, Glayven) with the exception of Leela and Hermes. Who rule. So scuh-rew you! "Luck of the Fryrish" is sad. "Time Keeps On Slippin'" is sad. "Godfellas" is sad. "Leela's Homeworld" is NOT sad. It is a unfunny, unemotional piece of dirt. Bender has had some pretty average episodes around him ("30% Iron Chef," "Bend Her," "Obsoletely Fabulous" ) but on the other hand, he's had some great ones ("BSNBAOTV," "Godfellas," "Raging Bender" ). And you're complaining about ZOIDBERG ones? How dare YOU? Zoidberg is genius, even "Lobstertainment!" was better than "Homeworld" and "Ther Sting"! Uh-oh. I've done it now. [waits for upcoming pummeling]

But this was highly concentrated caffeine, wa above anything naturally occuring. Originally posted by TheLampIncident: Well, I mean, it was pretty obvious Leela was human. I never believed she was an alien. Come on, a species that somehow evolved over time to look exactly the same as a human, but with one eye? Please.
Why not, it worked perfectly for Trek:TOS? by KVA: Even if it was not a good episode in your opinion, it brought one important thing: Leela is not an alien, she is equal to standart human in all except her eye. That means that if she and Fry will get together they will have no problems because they are from one race. So even if that episode wasn't funny, it was important for Fry+Leela storyline. Kif and Amy are different species, yet they had no problems creating off-spring. The medical technology of the future would make a lot if inter-species breeding possible. I could talk about Leela finding her people way too soon, but I don't have 3 hours to rant right now.

Ditto. The ending was so touching with Leela's parents taking care of her all those years...
