i apoligize if this has already been posted before, it probably has seeing as it was in the first episode, but
did anyone notice in "Space Pilot 3000" you can see the shadow of Nibbler, right before Fry falls into the freezing chamber thing???

I was watching that ep yesterday and it was the first time i noticed that, just thought it was wierd. Did Nibbler push him or something?  and what the hell was he doing in the year 2000 anyway?? (wizard?)

The "Nibbler shadow" is quite infamous now. There's more.


"When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all."

Oh god!! yet more reason to get all paranoid about whether or not those eps will be aired by Fox.

 

Me!

Cannabis reefers would be good too, imagine Leela stoned.

Who wants to see Fry Leela and Bender get into far out situations with robots and magic powers?

Me!

And you should win stuff by watching!

Maybe it was one of the scenes we didn't see in "Bendin' in the Wind".

Brainsluggo: It was the Brain Spawn, not the Brain Balls. The Brain Balls were the leaders of the Ball-People in "War is the H-Word."

Ah, Nixonian Logic. I'm not wired for that; I have to hit myself on the head really hard over and over again.

Hey, could Futurama's mistreatment be part of the GOP's desperate, endless attempts to whitewash their history? Because if yNIXON WAS GOOD. NIXON WAS SMART. NIXON SAVED US ALL FROM ETERNAL DAMNATION. WE ARE DOING THIS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD. WE DO EVERYTHING FOR YOUR OWN GOOD. YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL. NIXON WAS GOOD. DAN QUAYLE WAS SMART. GEORGE BUSH WAS NOT A MISERABLE FAILURE. RONALD REAGAN WAS NOT OFF HIS ROCKER. YOUR ATTITUDE HAS BEEN NOTED. WE WILL DEAL WITH YOU SHORTLY.

Now--is said destiny already dealt with (the Brain Balls)? Does it involve Leela? Was it that he saved Bender--whom God himself seems to have plans for--from suicide in the first episode? Is it something yet to come?

The episode The Why of Fry is expected to reveal all. Or some. Whenever FOX decides to air it.

WOW!! I didn't even think of those theories!  Man, next season is toooo far away...

If 'the why of fry' doesn't reveal it all we may never know... sheesh I hope not.. Damn Fox!   

errrr Im gonna go change my sig....

I think 'Boycott Fox!' has a nice ring to it, don't you?   

Weebs?

Not shown yet.

The audio commentaries seem fairly recent, but cannot take into consideration FOX's bizarre "Futurama-is-heavily-backlogged-so-let's-start-the-season-late-end-it-early-and-show-King-Of-The-Hill-reruns-three-or-four-times-a-week" strategy. (Which only makes sense this one way: FOX desperately wants the show deader'n hell.) When Groening says something will be shown in two or three seasons, I'm sure he can only be talking about production seasons--of which we are still seeing Season Three holdovers--as opposed to airing seasons--of which this is technically Season Four.

Anybody remember where the list of remaining episodes is? I know there's one out there, I just can't remember where...

Spoilers aboud though, including some really cool production sketches!

On the commentaries though they say that they tried to inlay aload of stuff that could be revealed later in Futurama.

One thing you've got to say about Futurama, they've really put some thought into it.  Nibbler's shadow in the first episode, his sudden appearance in "Love's labours Lost in Space" just as the PE ship needed some dark matter,  Leela's parents (apparently) turning up in the crowd scene in "I Second that Emotion", and the sudden twist in "Luck of the Fryrish".  They're some of the cleverest things I've seen on TV, although now I feel stupid.

Man, that sounds like a great episode, but just like "Leela's Homeworld," it should probably be a Season 10 sort of thing . . .

Yes yes, we'll all be a doing a lot of weebing...

(Edel would be proud)

This is very weird. Here's some things to try; let us know if any of this works, or how far you get if it doesn't.

1) Hit the "Leela Zone" button which probably appears at the top or bottom of this page, or directly enter the address (http://www.leela.com.ar/). If you get in, look under "Information" for "Upcoming Episodes."

2) Do you have "anti-ad/anti-pop-up" software? (If you don't--you should.) Check it or switch it off before trying again. You might have the page or site address accidentally entered into it. Kinda unlikely you have both pages entered, but...

3) Try Google, as I mentioned earlier. If you can't get the page proper, select "Cached" instead. This may help determine what the hassle is.

It'll all be worth it. The baby pictures from Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles--I did NOT make that up--are so cute you'll need an insulin shot.

Scary thing: I just tested looking it up on Google, and found an older version of the page cached--and noted that Where No Fan Has Gone Before falls WAY down the production schedule: after The Why of Fry and other important episodes, almost to the end of the fourth season. The cast listing included Johnathan Frakes!

Glad it finally worked out.

I like Cubert! He makes a good moving target. Plus, as I've mentioned elsewhere, he's just about the only cast member who Fry can make himself look good against.
