The new run is slowly getting better, in my mind. It's not good yet, but there are enough "this reminds me of the good 'ol days" jokes to keep me hoping.
The line that won me over this time was something along the lines of "we [cats] had long cool nights for sleeping, and long warm days for sleeping." Nothing else quite personifies a housecat.

You don't think ANY of the newest episodes can be considered good? That's ludicrous. Completely and moronically ludicrous.

And about that characterization - yeah, the "I may not have a man" line was bizarre, given what happened last week. One also has to wonder why Fry's dancing with Bender instead of Leela in the first place. This back-and-forth stuff from the writers is indeed, as somebody up above described it, "half-assed". I think we've been dealt a total reset, children. There were hints of it before, but now the, um, cat is out of the bag. You really think so, after TLPJF? I doubt it -- it seems more like what winna, Gopher, and I have postulated. When they're not specifically writing the relationship into the episode, it sometimes feels like it doesn't exist.
A "total reset", though? That's a stretch. I think it's just laziness -- yeah, maybe the writers are trying to weasel out of portraying them as a couple in non-'ship-focused episodes, but if TLPJF is any indicator, the end goal is obviously to have them end up permanently together...eventually. (6ACV25 is supposed to be the big 'ship episode, from what little we've heard...)
I'd really like them to be a couple in all episodes, though, at least in the background. If they can do it for Amy and Kif, they can do it for Fry and Leela. And if we do end up getting a 7ACV season, I hope they finally decide to stop vacillating and write them as a permanent and official couple...
I agree!

No, it's just not as well written as the older episodes--and not all of those were good themselves. The new ones have certainly have their moments. I just think that it's not hit its stride yet.

I have a cat. Not a cat fan. Dogs are good. You feed a dog, you groom a dog, you shelter a dog and that dog looks at you and says "That must be God".
You feed a cat, you shelter a cat, you clean up his crap, that cat looks at you and says "How bout that, I AM God."
Prepare to commence dog-brain cat-scan!

Maybe you should read the thread and the forum before writing. Hate is pretty rare, and most people thought this episode was around standard (7/10), but some thought it was brilliant and some hated it. That's the deal with most episodes.
I did read the entire thread, get off your pedestal buddy. You aren't better than me so don't act like it. There are definitely more average reviews, but the "bad" reviews are all deeming it the worst episode of all time, which is the problem I have. This episode is better than NUMEROUS episodes from the original run.
A single vote showed lower than 5/10 score, and 34 % choose 7/10. And I don't think I'm better than you. If Svip told me Fry's middle name is Garfield and that the average viewers of an episode is 15, I would tell him off, even if his one of the biggest Futurama fans I've seen. You're wrong is all.

Amy seems to have taken the Professor's "It can do other things. Why shouldn't it?" philosophy of device design well and truely to heart. While initially presented as a means of providing perpetual power it seems her machine can just as easily be used to rob the Earth of all it's rotational energy. The way I interpreted it is that the loss of rotational energy was a direct unintended consequence of Amy's device. Conservation of energy and all that rot.

Strange episode but quite good. I liked the pairing of Amy and Nibbler, and of course I am a cat person so I quite liked the cat heavy focus. Some good jokes, but the plot seemed a little over the top even by Futurama standards. Still pretty decent and enjoyable. Missed oppurtunity with the Yarn people, but yeah. 7/10...

First Leela's parents didn't come to her funeral, now Amy's parents didn't come to her graduation/presentation. What gives?
1 - Leela's parents may have not known? What with living in the sewer and all 2 - Maybe Amy's parents just don't care, I wouldn't be surprised lol
Actually, on the right of Leela, you can see a yellow arm. Inez wears a yellow long-sleeve blouse. Chances are, they were just sitting next to Leela, they just weren't in the shot.

Believe it or not, Professor Morris Katz is also a Professor.
He's not the Professor. Semantics again.

I think from the context it was pretty obvious what professor he was talking about. Of course, the capitalisation of 'professor' was offputting.

I realize this is probably skewed towards US academic culture, but I'm not really aware of PhD defenses being attended by one's parents. Graduation, maybe, but defense? Usually the only people present are your (very) close friends, other students of your advisor, and the committee. Believe it or not, Professor Morris Katz is also a Professor.

He wasn't a professor, he was a puppet. And since when was he a the?

This was a fun episode. Last week's was a tough act to follow! This episode kinda reminded me of an episode of Pinky and the Brain or Rescue Rangers lol

When Amy finally has Kif's squishy green half-human offspring, the writers will have exhausted everything else they had planned for her, and she'll be relegated to the furthest background status, like LaBarbara.
Uhm, the half-human offspring wasn't even planned. Hell, the whole Kif affair was just a joke in "A Flight to Remember" they decided to revisit later. LISTEN TO THE COMMENTARIES

The half-human offspring may not have been planned originally, but they're now busily growing up in a swamp somewhere on Amphibios 9. WATCH THE EPISODES.
Uhm, you mean by 3023? Or season 19?

Which would make her research woefully incomplete and hence not worthy of a PhD, surely?
She got it because she saved Earth. It's like in Star Trek when you disobey military orders and save Earth; then you don't get a court martial.
