I hope Lars did feel guilty about delaying the new Metallica album... again!

I can't see why Lars wouldn't feel guilty over the original Fry's presence in the year 3007. It would be like torturing yourself. Lars fully knows how much he hated himself now back then when he was Fry and how much he loved Leela. Yes, Lars did spend much of his twelve years back in the year 2000 loathing himself over what he would become and his new relationship with Leela, but to go and make the original you and the original that isn't you anymore sit back and watch you and your and their lover get married, start a family, and live the rest of your life together is a terrible thing to put the original you through. If Lars' and Leela's relationship continued without ending from the laws of time travel, then I'm sure Fry of that time probably would've stayed jealous and would've literally gone mad.

Fry only realized he wanted Leela's happiness at heart after he sabotaged her wedding to Lars. If Lars didn't have that expiration date on him, then he would have continued the wedding. That means that Fry's efforts will be ignored and he would have continued to try to sabotage the relationship.

You never know with the Futurama writers!!! That's what makes Lars so intriguing to me, he's Fry, yet he's NOT Fry. I'm wondering if we'll hear anything about him in the next movies, maybe a scene of Leela visiting his grave. I just think he's too cool a character to never allude to again. I wonder how the future movies would play out had Lars actually been the main Fry and "our fry" the doomed fry. It would probably be a shark jump, but still interesting to think about. Don't get me wrong, "our Fry" will always be the man but it'll be interesting to see what impact his character has on both Fry and Leela, if any in the upcoming movies.

It would be interesting to see how Lars is inserted into the show's "mythology". I can't imagine Leela never thinking about him again, especially as she said that Lars was "The only man I'll ever love!". Maybe by the end of the four-movie cycle, Fry will begin to show signs of the maturity that Lars had, which will make Leela see him in a new light. That said, there's a creepy, Vertigo vibe to Leela only becoming attracted to Fry because he's basically Lars 2.0. It's like the whole worm thing in "Parasites Lost"...did Leela truly love Fry, or just what the worms made of him?

Leela: Yes... Yes... Yes... OH LARS! Fry: Lars? You think about Lars when we do it? Leela: ... no. I think about... you.

Their sex life must be thrilling, but we should take it to the shipper's thread. It's a bit off-topic here.
I think Lars is just a one-time character. Leela will probably never think about him again and he will never be brought up again... just the way I prefer it.

Apart from his experience as a whale biologist, yes.

Originally posted by Futurama Llama: How could Lars be a one-time deal? Eventually, Fry will becaome Lars (but still be Fry) becuase he'll age! Lars was just a more mature Fry, no? If it wasn't for the fact that we're probably seperated by hundreds or thousands of miles, I'd slap you across the face for making that comment. Fry isn't Lars. He will never become Lars. Ever. Lars spent twelve years of his life in a world where he with his family but without Leela. Fry is going to spend the next twelve years of his life most likely without his family but with Leela. Therefore, Fry's not going to be Lars because their lives will differ them. Lars is dead now. If Futurama works like it has been for the past 72 episodes, a person like Lars will never be mentioned again because he was only used one time.

km73 summed it up. I agree with her. No, wait, I think she was agreeing with me. Let's just keep it as we both agree with each other.

Originally posted by km73: ... He served his purpose; that purpose being to make Leela realize that she could truly love Fry... That purpose had already been served. In the series. Twice. "Parasites Lost." "Time Keeps on Slipping." Both times Leela loved Fry 'for real'. Or at least a 'version' of Fry. Lars' existance was irrelevant; a cul-de-sac, in more ways than one. I... I'm, uh, I'll just ooze back out under the door now...
