Futurama News Past 6ACV13 - No spoilers outside spoiler tags!

[Reply #1320 on:]

I assume by 'excited' you mean 'warm and fuzzy'.

[Reply #1321 on:]

No TOTP context there, Svip?

And of course being excited and being warm and fuzzy are the same thing. Don't you know a thing about women?

[Reply #1322 on:]

Ha ha that Benderama clip was great, and the last installment of the Countdown was clool too.

Checking out the DXC interview now. Liking the plot of Overclockwise, sounds sweet.

ALSO, 1 DAY!!! 2 for me...

I guess not...

another, more positive, review on Neutopia.  (moderate spoilers)

I wish The Infosphere would have better synopsises before the episode airs.

Yeah, me too, dude.  Unfortunately, we are relying on the same information as everyone else and we aren't about to make things up.

For the love of God, Kurt....

One is to create a girlie calendar with the female employees, which might work if they could find a place where the years were only three months long, since the company employs only three women.

Show spoiler

Three women?  Who is the third woman employed at PE?

That seems to be the other half of where I figured the episode would actually fall in line.  However... did the writer of this article not realize that Futurama hasn't been off the air for 8 years, or did they deliberately ignore that fact.... or did I not read the article?

Yeah, me too, dude.  Unfortunately, we are relying on the same information as everyone else and we aren't about to make things up.

You want me to pretend to be a source and make stuff up for you?

For a second I thought you were Mango.   Anyways, there isn't a third woman employed technically at PE, but they're referring to Labarbara.  If I mispelled that, I don't care.

You trying to say Futurama isn't as good as eternal happiness?!

Pretty much, but it's better than nothing I suppose...

That was epic.

Again, InfoMan!, you ROCK.

I wish the Infosphere would have all the information about the episodes before they airs.

Then it'd be spoiled before you even came to watch it, so watching it is pointless.

So like DXC and CC had done a few weeks ago, CCI is now posting a list of Matt Groening's five favorite episodes. Linky schplinky. Unfortunately his list doesn't come with all the yummy substance that DXC's did. All five episodes are streaming online at on CC's website (although I know all of you already have them). Interesting to note that both lists so far have featured The Prisoner of Benda. I find the most interesting episode appearing on Matt's list to be I Dated A Robot, which isn't usually considered a stellar episode by fans.

I can't... Ima vampire!

Sweet clip, very interesting. Anyone notice it looked like the Crew were in the Cygnoid Pizza shop at the very end of the vid?

Also, 'SHUT UP AND BOW YOUR HEADS!'

[Reply #1340 on:]

wait, was that Lord of the Rings music playing during the clip where Fry talks about his egg?

That is quite odd. I wouldn't think I Dated A Robot would be on his list. The rest of are some of my favorites though. Except Godfella's. That is one of my least liked episodes of all time. I don't know why everyone loves it so much.

It looks like one episode (presumably "Cold Warriors") is going to feature a Simpson's-Movie-like glass dome. Interesting...

[Reply #1343 on:]

I was actually wondering if Fry talking about his own baby-ness in that same clip would be a lead-in to those flashbacks DXC promised in his interview.

[Reply #1344 on:]

I predict the 5 best episodes this season will be, in no particular order

Ghost in the Machines
The Silence of the Clamps
Cold Warriors
Fry am the Egg Man
Overclockwise

we should all make predictions and check back on them in september...just a bit of fun.

[Reply #1345 on:]

Since I like fun things...

Mobius Dick
Cold Warriors
Fry Am the Eggman
All the Presidents' Heads
Overclockwise

[Reply #1346 on:]

Ghost in the Machines
Cold Warriors
Benderama
Reincarnation
Overclockwise

...for me.

[Reply #1347 on:]

Same.

[Reply #1348 on:]

Overclockwise
Mobius Dick
Ghost in the Machines
All the Presidents Heads
Benderama

[Reply #1349 on:]

What about worst episodes coming up?, I'm guessing:
Fry Am the Eggman
Neutopia
The Silence of the Clamps

[Reply #1350 on:]

Except Godfella's. That is one of my least liked episodes of all time. I don't know why everyone loves it so much.

Because it is a well-written episode?  It has character and it has a message.  That's why we like it.  It is exactly the kind of intelligence we expect from Futurama.

[Reply #1351 on:]

Two best prediction:
Cold Warriors
Ghost in the Machines

Two worst prediction:
The Silence of the Clamps
Neutopia

[Reply #1352 on:]

The fun episodes I predict are:

Mobius Dick
Fry Am The Eggman
Cold Warriors
Silence of the Clamps
Ghost in the Machines


The worst one coming up for me is:

Law and Oracle 

[Reply #1353 on:]

I don't have high hopes for either of the episodes premiering tonight (though that might just be a defense strategy on my part; by having super low expectations, chances are that I at least won't be disappointed), nor am I particularly excited about "The Silence of the Clamps." But you've got to admit that we're getting a tad bit cynical when we start preemptively trashing episodes that aren't airing for weeks.

[Reply #1354 on:]

Bongo's started their previews pics now. http://www.bongocomics.com/blog/06/22/2011/good-news-everyone

[Reply #1355 on:]

Thanks for the links (I have been away what, 20 hours?). On the commercial, wow, thanks. :> I like Herbert Hoover appearing, expanding the president list. :P

On Groening's favourite episodes, I was surprised about I Dates a Robot too. It is a good episodes, but not in my top five at all. I totally agree about the other four too, and I like how two season 6 eps have already gotten their way into many such lists. I also entirely agree about Godfellas, it has always been one of my favourite episodes, amazing writing, animation, music and... well, everything.

Concerning the new Neutopia review, I'm glad to see a slightly more positive review, but I still don't have high hopes for this episode.

My prediction of best episodes of the broadcast season:
* Overclockwise - it seems very emotional, sci-fi and experimental. It may well be the TLPJF of this season.
* Ghost in the Machines - has good potential as an emotional story, but cold also suck extremely if done wrong.
* Benderama - in spite of the poor review I think this could go really well. Sounds fun.
* Cold Warriors - a fun idea, and could be pretty shippy as well as funny.
* All the Presidents' Heads

Those I'm the most scared of include "The Silence of the Clamps" and "Neutopia", but I'm hoping for the best. Both Möbius Dick and Reincarnation almost made it to the list of best episodes, they both seem to have really good potential. Reincarnation especially could be an amazing episode, but it could also be extremely poor. :|

I am extremely excited about this season, and the episodes tonight. I guess they will reach me here in Sweden at first at about 6 or 7 am, so we'll see if I'm still up then or if I get up early tomorrow morning. Unfortunately I'm going away over Midsummer (until Saturday) tomorrow morning, so I really hope I don't have to wait that long.

[Reply #1356 on:]

Five most-anticipated episodes:

Overclockwise
Reincarnation
Law and Oracle
Benderama
Ghost in the Machines

Three least-anticipated episodes:

Neutopia
Silence of the Clamps
Yo Leela Leela

[Reply #1357 on:]

Yo Leela Leela is another ep that really worries me. The plot "a main character becomes a big (movie) star and leaves her/his past life behind" seems done, and it seldom ends well. Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV worked so well because it seemed extremely natural - he didn't act, he sucked at acting, he was himself and people liked it. I can't see it done with Leela.

[Reply #1358 on:]

Yo Leela Leela also worries me, a lot...

[Reply #1359 on:]

worst ones

Law and Oracle
Yo Leela Leela
Mobius dick
