I was watching a Futurama marathon yesterday, and a friend there noticed that some episodes are required to be seen before other episodes, in order for most of the episode to make any sense. Be this big things or just minor jokes, I decided it might be a good thing to make a dependence tree on this. http://spiltirsdag.dk/~svip/dependence.pngHowever, it is hardly done. So I am asking for suggestions to dependencies.

Ironically, I cannot get the following episodes connected with others Methinks that even the Robot Devil has a better grasp of what the word "Irony" means than you  . 411 should at least be connected to the Pilot, since Fry met Leonard Nimoy there (and Nimoy sort-of admitted his involvement in Star Trek without breaking the law when he responded to Fry's Vulcan Salute (I don't know what it's called) with "I don't do that anymore") 212 should be connected to 316 because the animators put a trident on Hank Aaron the 24th's uniform, to reflect the sunken city of Atlanta (and the peoples change from Humans to Mermaids). 416 could be connected to 201, 402, and 404 because of the scene where leg mutant is being chased by the Chupanibre. It could also be connected to 214 because of the drop in Zuban Cigar price (Bender said they were the rarest cigars in the universe. It could be that they were made less rare (and thus less pricey) once the Robot Mafia started stealing chipments). Finally, shippers would like 416 to be tied to 415, since most assume that Fry and Leela's spending time at the aquarium is a continuation of their proposed date in 415 (but this is not fact. I just figured it beared mentioning).

And also to Brannigan, Begin Again, where Hermes openly mentions Star Trek. Oh, and I would also connect Bender's Big Score to the other episodes about Fry's Past and to those where Michelle appears.

Eh. I don't think connecting goofs is appropriate. There, now all episodes are connected to something.

There, now all episodes are connected to something. Still missing 317. So what is the minimum number of episodes needed to be watched in order to make ITWGY make perfect sense? What wasn't there to understand? I thought that one was the simplest of the films. But: *The F/L episodes. You don't need to watch all of them. You just really need to know about their romance. *The Fry episodes that explain his missing Delta Brain Wave, since it's major for Fry's bit in the story *310 (Where the Buggalo roam), to explain the abandonment of the Martian City. *Bender's Game, to explain Bender's joke in the restaurant and the switch from Dark Matter to Whale Oil. That's it. Frida Waterfall and the Robot Mafia did premier in previous episodes, but their roles in ITWGY are stand-alone (as is the rest of the movie, aside from fun references).

Then you aren't looking hard enough, mister! I added all the episodes to begin with, so they would appear in the top right if not linked to.

For Delta Brain Wave: Space Pilot, The Day The Earth Stood Stupid, Roswell That Ends Well, The Why of Fry For Wongs on Mars: Where the Buggalo Roam For Dark Matter/Oil: Bender's Game For Waterfalls: The Problem With Popplers, The Birdbot of Ice-catraz, A Taste of Freedom For Mafia: Bender Gets Made That gives you 10 episodes.
