New Futurama Speculations 2.0 - (Hopefully) Making Dreams Come True

[#560 :]

Freako: Yeah, I'm with ya. I palmed my freaking face off when I read that.

As far as that storyboard goes: I wonder if the discarded doomsday devices will have something to do with the "killer" part of "Attack of the Killer App." And the "attack" part, too, I suppose.

[#561 :]

I didn't faceplam, but that 'joke' got an eyeroll and an 'Oy'...

Perhaps it's time for spring cleaning at PE. They're apparently outside throwing things into bins, as are other people in the background. Could that be Fry in Panel B of the first pic?

[#562 :]

I suppose it could be, but considering the level of detail in the panels I'd think they'd have made it clearer if it were indeed Fry (or mentioned him in the action notes instead of just "Incidentals").

This is a pretty weak idea, but perhaps if Mom has taken over the various Internet technologies, she orders that all other "devices" should be thrown away to avoid any competition, and the Professor uses the opportunity to dispose of those unstable things as well.

[#563 :]

Pretty crap week....in terms of new released info.
It's all been sketches and storyboards how many times did they want to show zapp branigan naked, I would not complain though if they showed leela nude then it would have been a good week jks but anyway new released image today is pretty poor too just the planet express ship which we have all seen a million times.

[#564 :]

This is interesting - we saw the PE Ship operational in the second episode preview, so in the third, she's been stripped back and is being rebuilt? Perhaps it's time for a little technobabble.

Maybe it's a flashback to after the hard landing in episode one which almost 'killed' the crew...

If you're both a Futurama fan and one of those people who marry and have sex with roller-coasters and the Eiffel Tower and stuff, today is your lucky day, because here's a sketch of the Planet Express basically naked.

FINALLY! they refrence a real event that wasn't just random retarded babble and was actually relevant. And it made me slightly laugh inside.

[#566 :]

So, rebirth is ep 1, in a gagga da leela is ep 2, and attack of the killer app is ep 3. I'm guessing that ep 4 = proposition infinity, because it was speculated that this is the bender/amy ep, and i read that episodes 2 and 4 will have more curse language, so that's my guess anyway.

Is it 12 episodes to air this year? (And the other 14 next year?)

[#567 :]

As far as we know: 12 episodes this summer, with an Xmas episode in December and the other 13 next summer.

[#568 :]

We don't know the latter part, we are just assuming.

[#569 :]

Boring.... I want some trailers

[#570 :]

I think we'll probably get some clips, like, a week before the premiere, to build interest. I do agree that last week's posts were pretty dumb, though.

[#571 :]

What's with the complaining about the countdown posts? Sure, those intros are cringe-worthy, but the items themselves are fine. They might not all be the most exciting things ever, but should we expect them all to be? I'm not especially familiar with waiting for a show to return (so maybe there's always a large amount of promotional out-of-context material from a new season), but I think it's pretty neat that they're giving us what they are. Come now, let's save our complaining for the actual episodes themselves...

[#572 :]

Oooh!

[#573 :]

Maybe they switched the guy who makes the updates, because now they're starting to sound coherent.

[#574 :]

This: is coherent?

Last week we showed you a sketch of the dismantled Planet Express. Well, today you get to see the sketch all colored in. Unless you're color-blind, I guess, in which case this is sort of like a rerun. Sorry for the rerun, all you color-blind Futurama fanatics, or as you call yourselves, Parrotheads.

[#575 :]

Yeah. Aren't we Nerdlingers?

Anyway, are the little guys in orange taking the ship apart or putting it back together? The crew seem to be smiling, so maybe the latter.

[#576 :]

I dunno, it looks to me like they're in some kind of junkyard, which might mean they're taking it apart.

[#577 :]

I'm more curious about who the guy with them is. The spotty blue head makes me think it may be Adoy, who was mentioned in a commentary as someone who may come back if they made more episodes.

Everything except the parrot heads bit. I don't really remember reading that the first time...

It's either they're deconstructing it or reconstructing it, which could make this a parody of the latest Star Trek film. I want to say reconstructing given there are workers working at places without panels anymore. However, deconstruction is funnier. However however, reconstruction following total annihilation is even funnier.

[#580 :]

Reconstructing would make more sense as they appear to be welding parts of the ship.

[#581 :]

Looks to me like they're reconstructing the ship, but I suppose it could go either way. I'm curious as to what exactly happened to the ship to necessitate the rebuild. What episode is this from, the fourth?

[#582 :]

Attack of the Killer App. So, the third.

Are they changing the timeline so that the Planet Express ship was built at Area 51?

[#584 :]

What is Leela wearing? It's not her usual tank top, and the others aren't wearing anything different. It looks like her Cyrogenic Uniform.

[#585 :]

From: http://ccinsider.comedycentral.com/2010/05/25/countdown-to-futurama-floating-screens/

That's the future iPhone or something like that...

[#586 :]

This tableau sort of reminds me of commercials being beamed into people's dreams in "A Fishful of Dollars." And, um, that's all I've got.

[#587 :]

Zoidberg is watching food and Bender is watching a fembot dancer

[#588 :]

Brilliant interview haha zoidberg and farnsworth get it on

My "thoughts" about it at: http://slurmed.com/news/2010-05-25/david-x-cohen-brings-more-details-to-the-new-futurama-season

[edit] I'll add them here later..

[#590 :]

Holy crap! Every single bit of that sounds awesome! (except the zoidberg/professor bit *shudder*)

[#591 :]

I think the episode that I'm most looking forward to of the new season (other than Rebirth, of course) has to be the one about the time machine. And possibly the one DXC mentioned about Fry licking George Washington's head and going on a head trip.

[#592 :]

Leela’s parents are second-class, mutant citizens who live underground in the sewers. The members of Devo have mutated over the years, and Mark Mothersbaugh helps out in their campaign for equality.

Well, there goes the plot to my second comic. Minus the Devo bit.

Craig Ferguson has the most remarkable guest role of the year: He is playing a talking part of Leela’s body.

I bet its underneath her foot.

The heads of Matt Groening and David X. Cohen will appear on a panel of writers for the new show that Matt Groening has created in the Year 3010.

Only 1,000 years we have to wait until a new Matt G show!

[#593 :]

Second!

About the Love scene between Zoidberg and Professor Farnsworth, I think I've seen that before haha:

[#594 :]

On Craig Ferguson, if I remember correctly, Maurice LaMarche said that he was guest starring on In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela.

I’m proud to announce that Al Gore will be rejoining us in our environmental-themed holiday episode [airing next season]. He will help explain the future versions of Christmas, Robanukah, and Kwanza, along with Coolio, a natural pairing.

I'm guessing that this is this year's holiday episode, or 6ACV13.  The one that's not quite this season but not quite next season. I wonder if Mark Hamill will return as well...

Nice to hear more about the 100th episode finally. Interesting to hear that Devo is involved with it.

And I think the most interesting new character (other than Craig Ferguson) is Patton Oswalt's Unattractive Giant Monster. That sounds like it could be a reoccuring background character!

[#595 :]

Thought about today's CCI pic:

*Anybody else think that Mom's plan is to mind-control everybody with I-Phone implants (like in the Doctor Who two-parter Rise of the Cyber-Men/Age of Steel)?

Thoughts/Speculation about everything in the DXC interview:

*Leela's brain or mind is inside the Leela-bot and Fry continues to pursue a relationship with her knowing that she might not return to being human

*When were F/L on? What, the five minutes before the ship crashed? Hell, they can't even be off if they were never really on. I hope I don't get disappointed by what occurs. If DXC thinks that F/L together would put the show in a rut, I'd like him to know that keeping it at a will they/won't they level is just as much of a rut. Advance it or kill it- make a choice for all our sakes

*Those embarrassing videos of Leela probably won't be sexual (I don't think Fry would be that much of a dick to her). It's probably something like her shaving her armpits or tripping.

*Yo Freako, I think David finally killed the idea that so many of us had that Fry wanted to use the Professor's time machine to speed into a date with Leela. Aside from his suggestion that Square One is in effect, there is also the Professor and Fry only meaning to go 1 minute into the future which is accidentally changed to 1000 years (Fry shouldn't be too shocked).

*1000 years on the Time Machine probably means we won't be seeing the future of any of the crew members except Bender.

*I'm disappointed to hear Devo seems to be a major part of 612. I don't like it when celebrities as themselves are a major part of episodes. Play original characters, not ego-bating cameos.

*Third on one of Leela's feet being the late-night host's vessel. I'm not sure how I'll feel about it though. I guess that Ear, Ear, Ear, Nose, and Throat Doctor must have gotten her degree from an online course.

*Katee Sackhoff's character probably has an attraction to Zoidberg

*Of course, Zoidberg is a one-human Lobster. Zoidberg/The Professor shippers unite! Eh, I'm the only one?

P.S. Is it just me, or does this new season seem like it's going to be quirky as hell?

[#596 :]

Interesting Interview, but far from giving me a big enough amount that my needs are satiated, they've given me too much and now I can't wait. Oh dear.

Too tired to formulate thoughts other than that.

[#597 :]

P.S. Is it just me, or does this new season seem like it's going to be quirky as hell?

Indeed it does; that Fry "Revolutionary War adventure" episode cinches it for me (for the record, though, I think it sounds kind of awesome).

Angry shipper moment: What the hell, DXC? Unless this on-again, off-again business means we'll get to see some semblance of "on", I'm kind of pissed.

[#598 :]

"On again off again" as it says in the article doesn't necessarily mean they're going back to the constant "Will you go out with?" me thing again. If I had to guess I would say it probably means more of an rocky relationship thing than another reset. Fry does lots of stupid things that piss Leela off after all. I'm guessing Fry posting embarrassing pictures of her on the internet goes under that category.

[#599 :]

I just took some pictures of your face and stuck them on someone elses body.
