As well as I've said before about there should be an audio track of just David Cohen's temp voice, they also should have a laugh track, track for a selected episode, which consists of random people plus John Dimaggio as "that one guy".
I would definitely buy that.

Heya. Long-time reader, first-time poster. Just had an idea, thought I'd throw it out there.
What if the whole rebirth of the crew thing was a concept similar to what happened to Spock in Star Trek 2/3? Have all the people that were wiped out reborn in some ill-defined fashion on some planet where life grows at an accelerated rate, and Fry and the Professor have to return everyone's thoughts and memories back to their new bodies somehow. A "Genesis planet"-like story could also flow into the second episode with the whole Zapp/Leela Adam/Eve thing, and could make for some great parody gags("Phillip, can I ask you a question?" "Bender, don't call me Phillip. You used to call me 'Fry.' Or sometimes 'Meatbag.' Don't you remember 'Meatbag?'")

That's quite an interesting idea. The Adam and Eve idea for the Eden planet Zapp-Leela story we're supposed to get for the second episode is similar to what I'd definitely be hoping for, and if you have been reading this thread for a while you'd know that we've been considering the nature of this "rebirth" quite a bit. Your idea does seem possible, especially since, if they are going to be carrying things over from ITWGY, it is now supposed to be the "Green Age" and, while that accelerated-evolution planetoid is gone, it could very well be that an accelerated life sort of place would be involved (although I'm fairly skeptical about them bothering to continue with the "Green Age" concept into the new episodes, as I am about other potential retcons)...or maybe even, if we do see a rebirth so literal it involves baby versions of the crew, then we might be seeing another trip to the Fountain of Aging!
Thanks for sparking my (and hopefully our) imaginations about this, and also, welcome to PEEL!

I can see 'Nibbler: Congratulations, Dr. Wong' (indicating that perhaps one of the Wongs become a Doctor or Zoidberg finally gets to be Amy's sister or there is a relative of the Wongs that is a doctor or some such). The entire block of text is rather unpleasant, though the bold letters (second word in the block of text) seems to be 'pope', which would make sense as they revealed on Comic-Con that they would include more plots related to the Space Pope, AND he would make an actual appearance this time.

I think the first two sentences say "Kif pops open a bottle of champagne, starts to raise it to his lips, then reconsiders and tosses it away. Bender's arm shoots up and catches it, and he begins chugging it."

Here's all I have right now:
[...]
Nibbler
Congratulations, Dr. Wong [?]
[...] bottle of champagne, starts to [...] in to[...] when [...] and tosses it away. Bender's [?] [...] Nibbler purring Leela's lap like a kitten. [...] once again, she pets him. [...] and goes to sleep.
Nibbler
(Purring)
Further work on your block: The pope? open a bottle of champagne, starts to raise it to his ????, then reconsiders? and tosses it away. Bender's head? shoots up and catches it, and he begins CNOGGING? it, XXX to Nibbler pawing Leela's lap like a kitten. Looking astonished? once again, she pets him, zombie-like. Nibbler ???? once and goes to sleep.

Would the bold mean a sound effect?

Would make sense. Combining the work would generate this:
Kif pops open a bottle of champagne, starts to raise it to his lips, then reconsiders and tosses it away. Bender's arm shoots up and catches it, and he begins chugging it. XXX to Nibbler pawing Leela's lap like a kitten. Looking astonished? once again, she pets him, zombie-like. Nibbler ???? once and goes to sleep.

Very very interesting. Neat find, kudos to all of you!
I would recommend to delete the name of the person in those images, just in case he could get into trouble.. who knows.. because perhaps he didn't notice that his facebook photos are public..
Even if the album wasn't public, he should still be quite aware that what he was doing might have consequences in such a case. In other words; I am quite certain Mike Rowe knows what is going on, and he is well aware of what he can and cannot share with the public. Just because an album isn't public, doesn't it mean that no one will reveal it regardless. As soon as you share it with people outside of the 'inner circle', it's pretty much out in the open, and I am sure Mike Rowe knows that. Besides; the damage is most certainly done.

Cool stuff; thanks for the update! That's a pretty interesting way for an episode to end, though...

JavieR: I doubt Ray Claffey is the writer of the episodes, it seems more likely that he is the director given his record.

Yes, I was not sure about that.. But that means that in the previous episode (6acv13) Eric Rogers is the director then.. and in episode 6acv14 is the writer. I don't know how the order of names work in that array of episodes. I can see that Ray Claffey has a director profile according to IMDb and Eric Rogers has a writer profile.

What? Ray Claffey is the one appearing on the episode 6ACV13. Not Eric Rogers. I think you got it messed up.

Eric Rogers is an interesting choice to write an episode. He only did an AoI segment before and has a lot of comic credits, albeit in the early run of the comics (majority coming before #20, nothing after #34). Claffey is also an interesting choice to get two director credits.
The credit on 6ACV15 is Dan Vebber, writer of The Birdbot of Ice-catraz, The Route of All Evil, Love and Rocket, and Obsoletely Fabulous. Not exactly my (or anybody else's, for that matter) favorite episodes, and not exactly the best.
Overall, interesting choices. If these episodes (14 and 15) make up the beginning of Broadcast Season 8, I'm surprised they aren't using heavy-hitters in both writing and directing. Where's Eric Kaplan, Patric Verrone, and Ken Keeler?

Well, they are certainly back (they appeared at the panel of comic-con). And this is just two episodes out of 26. Maybe they are getting the better stories? Who knows? We don't know that much about episodes prior to 6ACV13.
