Re: The Prisoner of Benda: IIRC, DXC mentioned that Ken Keeler proved a theorem that provides the denouement for the episode. It's very likely in this image that one of the writers Tweeted a while back:  If I understand it correctly, the theorem is really quite simple, about the level of a homework problem for an undergraduate class in discrete math/computer algorithms. I'm guessing what happens in the episode is that everyone swaps bodies and they need to undo the swap at the end, but (1) for some reason they're imprisoned/restrained in such a manner that they can only do swaps where one end of the machine has to operate on one of two specific bodies and (2) the machine has a limited number of uses left, so they have to figure out how to unswap everybody as efficiently as possible.

Lots of news from this interview: http://ifmagazine.com/feature.asp?article=39551. The first 13 episodes of season 6 are being released on DVD in December (presumably region 1 only at this point). 2. Holiday Val-U-Pak is scheduled for a 21st of November airdate. 3. The 3-segment animation special episode is indeed going to be the last episode of season 6. 4. Said episode is named 'Resurrection'. That makes for a nice book-end title along with 'Rebirth'. 5. Holiday Val-U-Pak is a musical. Very minor spoilers ahead: 6. We'd all presumed this anyway, but Robot Santa will appear in Holiday Val-U-Pak.
7. An upcoming episode sees Bender going into the witness relocation program to hide from the Robot Mafia. 8. I'm not sure when the interview actually took place, but David X. Cohen acts like they haven't been renewed yet suggesting that the 3 seasons thing isn't true. Or maybe he just knows he can't talk about it yet. 9. David still wants to make a Futurama movie. Let's all write angry letters to Fox like he says!

Aren't DVDs released later in the US due to reruns and syndication?
