Futurama Speculations: SpectacleLactation 3

[Reply #400 on:]

Maybe the season will be split like it's done with South Park.  And in the new Futurama, will Leela be treated like a punching bag like she was in ITWGY? 

[Reply #401 on:]

Looks like someone doesn't like "Rebirth" (warning: spoilers).  I did comment saying where I disagreed with his strong assertments.

I've added my two cents here and also on the actual site.

It is being split like South Park, the first 12 episodes airing as of Thursday, the 2nd run next year. We've known this for ages.

The last post on that countdown that we're going to get apparently.

[Reply #403 on:]

That looks extremely promising.

[Reply #404 on:]

I always felt like TLPJF would be a good episode. Now I know for sure.

[Reply #405 on:]

I like this future.

[Reply #406 on:]

I still can't get over how awesome the time machine looks.

[Reply #407 on:]

Its design alone makes up for IDGDL.

[Reply #408 on:]

I've just spotted what looks like Bender behind Fry's head -boobs can only distract me for so long. I think that pretty much confirms that they meet up with Bender 1,000 years on in the future along with robot Amy and anyone else who's still alive.

Or maybe he just goes with them in the first place.

IDGDL's... um, dammit. Going to have to Spoilertag this.

Show spoiler

The stealth ship's design was pretty sweet too. And the Censor Ship looked kinda cool.

I think Bender's in the time machine with them. He probably went along for the ride. Possibly to pick up a Sports Almanac.

Just a note on this thread title: Eww, what? Ewww, that's what.
That is all.

Change it! Change it!

[Reply #414 on:]

That's why you mods need to come around General Discussion more often. We are out of control!

[Reply #415 on:]

Oh yeah, there's all kinds of lactation going on.

[Reply #416 on:]

But I think it's wrong to say we make a spectacle of it. Our lactation is more restrained here.

[Reply #417 on:]

I've noticed that GD has been pretty wild lately. Perhaps another mod shake up is needed. Two of the currents haven't exactly been active lately. VF hasn't posted in over a year, Kryten hasn't for two years.

[Reply #418 on:]

Yeah, we could do with somebody to replace VF and Krytyen, but the thing is that the people who visit GD would mainly make terrible terrible moderators.

[Reply #419 on:]

Can Matt Tobey stop calling us fucking Parrot Heads?

[Reply #420 on:]

right, so are we allowed to talk about the leaked episodes, then?

[Reply #421 on:]

What else are we gonna do?
Pretend they don't exist?

oy vey.

[Reply #422 on:]

Wait, the episodes have been leaked?

There are two discussion threads for the two new episodes; that's where most of the--whatsitcalled?--discussion is taking place.

[Reply #423 on:]

right, so are we allowed to talk about the leaked episodes, then?

There are other threads for that. A Season 6 thread and two episode specific threads. There's also a goofs thread for Season 6, in the Weird Scenes subforum. All are spoiler-friendly, although discretion is advised for major stuff.

Yes, for the most part, the mainstay residents of GD aren't exactly the best candidates. However, there are some people, like Gorky and myself (off the top of my head), who are pretty fluid between the two universes of GD and Off-Topic.

Once again, when did we become Jimmy Buffet fans?

[Reply #425 on:]

I like the idea of making me and i_c mods--mainly the part that involves me becoming a mod.

Also: Has anyone considered the possibility that Matt Tobey is himself a parrot? Because he sure as hell writes as well as I'd imagine a parrot would.

You and Gorky, huh? Y'know I wouldn't be averse to that particular scenario. You're both intelligent and fair, and might not let the power (the powah!) go to your heads. Plus, you're around GD a fair amount. Hmm. Perhaps you should email mArc.

This has probably been brought up a lot, but do you think there will ever be a Simpsons/Futurama crossover episode?  (I know they made a comic already)

[Reply #428 on:]

That would be very strange. And I don't think there's a point to it either. Maybe in some Anthology of Interest scenario ("what if we found a universe where people are yellow" or whatever).

[Reply #429 on:]

I would hate it if it were a Futurama episode and I would hate it if it was some sort of special. And I would hate it if it were canon.

BUT if it took place in an episode of The Simpsons, I could probably deal with it because then I wouldn't have to deal with it. I think no matter how they did it, the new Simpsons quality would taint Futurama somehow, but if it was an episode of The Simpsons that did it, it'd hopefully improve the quality of The Simpsons a bit.
It'd have to be some sort of Treehouse of Horror-y type episode though. 
And I'd still rather it didn't happen.

[Reply #430 on:]

if they renew futurama for another season, will this "3rd last episode ever" being made as the end of this production season be shelved till later? didn't the devil's hands are idle playthings episode get shelved for a while?

[Reply #431 on:]

I doubt it. Devil's Hands was the last episode both produced and aired; any shelving of it was on the part of Fox, not the producers. They even state in the commentary that they wrote the episode to function as both a season and series finale, because they were unsure of their chances for renewal.

It is interesting (and kind of unfortunate) that the writers have gone into each finale they've written assuming that the episode would be their last. I mean, I think the two could-be series finales we've seen so far--Devil's Hands and "Into the Wild Green Yonder"--are excellent episodes. But it's still a bit of an unfair constraint on the writers when they're going into the project knowing they only have a 50-50 chance of renewal. Such is the nature of television, though, I suppose.

[Reply #432 on:]

It was definately left more open at the end of ITWGY, as DXC says into the introduction, "This is the 4th and hopefully not last, DVD movie, into the wild green yonder," (is it DXC, I can't remember but I'm sure it is - though it could be John)

Either way, they obviously wrote it so that it would be good either way, left on a cliffhanger incase they didn't come back, but with a good clear opening if they got the chance to come back. It was fairly well done in that sense, but I agree with Gorky, there has to be a certain kind of pressure with writing a series finale when you don't know if you're coming back.

[Reply #433 on:]

I'm wondering why the ship is being built in 'Attack of the Killer App' when it was seen already rebuilt in Rebirth.

[Reply #434 on:]

Because they're not building it, they're stripping it down.

Oooh.

[Reply #436 on:]

Sooo... some of us were sure that Craig Ferguson would guest star in IAGDL because of that video Maurice Lamarche put up several months ago mentioning that they were recording episode 2. Yet, Craig wasn't in it. This seems to suggest that Maurice either misspoke or that some of the regulars were recording episode 2 and Ferguson was there to record his part for a different episode. The latter seems likely since not everything is recorded in order in voice-acting, least of all guest roles. Based on the episode descriptions put up, I'm positive that Craig is guest-starring in The Mutants are Revolting, since that is a plot line where his character (a talking body part of Leela's) makes sense to appear.

[Reply #437 on:]

After he didn't appear, I just presumed that I'd imagined that he was going to be in the 2nd episode and had gone with it.

I'd put money on him being in The Mutants are Revolting. He's confirmed to be a mutation on Leela's body? Right? Clearly, Craig is the catalyst causing Leela to be made to go and live below ground with the mutants which in turn will cause her to lead them in an uprising. I can't wait, it's a plotline I'd hoped for in one of the movies and it's probably the closest we'll ever get to a zombie episode (I like zombie movies).

[Reply #438 on:]

A clip from "Proposition Infinity" is up on Comedy Central's website. Link.

I guess I'll take further discussion of this to the speculation thread...

And here I am. I kind of wonder what the catalyst for all this unpleasantness between Kif and Amy is. Will the writers actually return to the mess that was "The Beast With a Billion Backs", and all the crap that was done to Kif and Amy's relationship? I kind of doubt it. But, at any rate, this one should be interesting.

[Reply #439 on:]

God damn I can't view it.

This makes me sadface.
