I enjoyed both movies, but at this point BBS is still my favorite. The great jokes and self-absorbed characters may have attracted me to Futurama so many years ago, but the complicated plots, sub-plots and multiple storylines have kept me interested far more than those former simple devices ever could. With that in mind BWABB was, for the most part, fun to watch; I felt that it propelled the stories of the characters much less than BBS and therefore was a bit more diversionary. Don't get me wrong, I saw Fry maturing a lot more in BWABB which was encouraging (and perhaps the main point I took with me)- I am much less interested in the Amy/Kif/Zapp fiasco (although Amy and Kif are not pivotal characters to me), and the League of Robots was a generally funny foil for the action with Yivo. One thing I did not care for was the choice of David Cross to play as Yivo. I simply disliked the flippant attitude it gave to that character and I hardly ever found it humorous (this is from a person who has watched his fair share Mr. Show <3 <3 , so I am not simply a hater...  ). Let it be noted that I am looking through a shipper's eyes, so my main interest in these films is the advancement of the central figure- Futurama may have taken some side roads in the past but I feel it has never lost sight of the ultimate impact on Fry's life and relationships, and I have high expectations for a catharsis at the end of this four-part 'movie'. I have only watched BWABB 2 times so I am sure I will have more opinion to give later

Originally posted by WaxRobotNap: In what way was Yivo mating with the humans? Possibly non-reproductively using schler own bio contraceptives? Originally posted by WaxRobotNap:Why was that forgotten about later in the episode? It wasn't, the "genticles" show up on "mattress island" Originally posted by WaxRobotNap:What was Yivos goal? To got a cheap thrill, then later to marry universe A/universe gamma Originally posted by WaxRobotNap: Why didn't he want people to contact other universes... Because the electro-matter used in doing so could be used to kill shclim.

I've said it elsewhere, I know, but it bears repeating: I loved it. I spent the entire time either laughing really hard or going 'Man, that's just nasty!' ('Cause they sure did amp up the gross factor on this one, didn't they?) The stories were interesting, the jokes flowed thick and fast, the music seemed better this time (i.e., not like the whole score was lifted from the video game)...there were a couple of sour notes, true; Amy seemed to jump into bed with Zapp (ugh) a little quickly, I'm willing to concede that Kif's return was a little too easy, and I guess the idea that Yivo was committing a universe-wide case of sexual assault doesn't sit very well with a show that doesn't tend to get that dark - and the fact that Leela takes an awfully long time to realise that she's a tad annoyed at Fry for dropping a six-year obsession and shacking up with some lush polyamorist (not that Leela was wowed about the obsession when Fry acted out of nothing else)...but really? Minor points. This was a step forward in terms of quality, in just about every area. If things continue like this, BG will be something to treasure. Roll on November, I say.

Originally posted by Frisco17: Something I forgot to mention earlier was one of my favorite parts of the movie. Near the end when Kif is explaining what Fonfon ru means to Amy and Zapp makes a comment Kif nails him in the stomach. I'm not sure why but that brought me endless amounts of joy. Kif finally growing a (figurative) backbone? Punching Zapp in the gut? I CHEERED.
