Hey, Svip and fellow Futurama fans -- I've been unable to check the forum here regularly due to work and travel, but I wanted to give you all a heads-up that Atlanta's Dragon*Con 2010 (Sept 3-6) recently added as guests Futurama cast members Billy West, John DiMaggio, Phil LaMarr and Maurice LaMarche:

the clip for tomorrow's episode is up on comedy centrals website. it is the whole mind switching scene that we got snippets of from the sizzle reel, so some of it is new at least.

It's not really news, but Eric Rogers just invited Edgar Wright to write an episode of the show via Twitter.

I fear that Edgar will see a private account and not realise that it's a legit offer from someone on the show... but still. If that happened, I would wet myself with excitement. Especially if he directed it too.

You'd think if Eric Rogers was serious, he would also use another channel than Twitter, right?

[Reply #644 on:]

haven't they written all the episodes for this production season?

they need to get approved for season 7 first.

[Reply #645 on:]

Maybe they have and they just haven't announced it yet.  Or maybe CC said, 'okay, we'll buy another season, BUT ONLY IF EDGAR WRIGHT WRITES AN EPISODE, YA HEAR ME?!'.

[Reply #646 on:]

This.

But yeah, I imagine he's working on the assumption that they're getting renewed because they probably are.

And as unlikely as it is that anything will come from this, a man can dream. A man can dream.

some pics from next weeks episode, llreconcievable nndifferences (i know i probably spelled that wrong >.<).

[Reply #648 on:]

Matt Groening seems to have been drawn somewhat different-y since the pilot episode.

[Reply #649 on:]

Well, he did get older...

New clip for Lrreconcilable Ndndifferences up on comedycentral.com.  Lots of self-referential humor, all of it HILARIOUS!!!

[Reply #654 on:]

Ugh, meta humour episode again? Hope that scene is all of that.

At least more heads in jars again, WE NEED MORE!

Trust me, it's quite funny.  Without giving the clip away, it makes references to the cancellation, FOX, and the Simpsons.  Can't wait two days!!!

[Reply #656 on:]

I saw the clip... and yes, it's the same joke again and again
"hahaha, fox is so dumb, they cancel us, hahaha"

jeez, GET OVER IT!

Meta Humor rules all.

Meta Humor rules all.

Amen to that!!!  The beginning of BBS is brilliant, and this looks to be as well.

Again? There's been one episode (mostly) dedicated to metahumour. The opening scene to BBS and this one clip don't count as episodes.

[Reply #660 on:]

Even that's a stretch really. I mean, Rebirth wasn't dedicated to meta-humour. It was just the first 3 minutes or so and the last 30 seconds.

[Reply #661 on:]

yeah, but it's always the same meta humour...

[Reply #662 on:]

It's not the same humor, it's just referencing the same stuff.

[Reply #663 on:]

thus being the same meta humour

seriously, we get it, do something new!

[Reply #664 on:]

Firstly, just because they're making a joke about the same thing doesn't make it the same joke. Secondly, the last bit of meta humor that referenced the whole being cancelled and/or being un-cancelled was in Rebirth, 10 episodes ago. It's not like they've been doing nothing new and just making jokes about Futurama's cancellation the whole season.

Oh God! Meta humor! We're all gonna die!!!

[Reply #665 on:]

So, it's still the same... if they made the same joke about eye-phones being installed in the eye in a movie and then in 2 episodes again you'd be complaining too.

I don't mind meta humour at all, but jeez, not the same again and again.

[Reply #666 on:]

Yeah, because that'd be the same joke. If they made some joke referencing iPhones in a movie and then made an episode with a different joke that referenced the whole iPhone thing I wouldn't be going "Oh my God all they ever do is make jokes about the iPhone!"

mmm no

I would be pretty happy to see the eyephone in a movie too and in another episode (only seeing them, not having the whole thing focuse on it), cause that mean that they didn't throw these thing in the garbage. like when they say that leela has make love with zapp, they talk about it sometime in some episode and that make me happy to see a continuity.

[Reply #668 on:]

My assumption is this:  The first act will take place at the Comic-Con event; some meta-jokes will be thrown about and then we get onto the real story!

[Reply #669 on:]

I thought that was pretty obvious considering that the episode the clip is from is going to be about Lrrr and Ndnd...

there goes my evening

just download it, then you can break it down

[Reply #673 on:]

comedy central's latest press release had a few pics for the 100th episode with it

[Reply #674 on:]

Oh my. So am I supposed to conclude from that little bit of orangeness that the crazy drippy plunger monster is Fry in the last pic?

Snap!

you got me XD i was thinking that the 100th episode would last 2 and a half hours would have been crazy :P

[Reply #676 on:]

The last pic is a pretty massive spoiler. I really can't wait for The Mutants are Revolting. It's been my 2nd most anticipated episode of this run since the start.

Or was it third after Rebirth? I'm not sure.

[Reply #677 on:]

Haven't watched that YouTube clip yet--hopefully I'll get to it tomorrow--but I like the fact that the writers

are finally dealing with the fact that Leela is living on the surface illegally. It had never occurred to me that no one, save the PE crew, knows that Leela is a mutant--and that, if she was discovered, there would be some serious problems. Guess I haven't read enough fanfic or something. Anyway, I can't wait for the finale. It sounds like an epic, highly sci-fi tale, and I'm always up for one of those.

[Reply #678 on:]

I hadn't given much thought to Leela being above ground illegally, although I've taken part in some forum threads on the matter... but I did expect a mutant uprising to be used as a plot for one of the movies and was somewhat dissapointed when it wasn't. I can't wait.

[Reply #679 on:]

Actually, I wasn't able to beat stupid.  Someone already suggested that the entire episode would be meta-humour.
