But Overclockwise isn't the finale, Reincarnation is.
Overclockwise is the official finale. It's canon. So will Overclockwise continue into Season 7? Like ITWGY into Rebirth?

Maybe now they do, but they didn't used to ...
Are you kidding? There were bad episodes starting right in Season One. I distinctly remember Mars University being almost universally hated when it first aired (especially Gunther, the talking ape -- I never saw a single positive comment about him at the time). In Season Two, A Bicyclops Built for Two was much disliked by a lot of people, and I read many, many negative reviews of A Clone of My Own (people HATED Cubert).
If these same episodes are now regarded as good, then we have proof right there that Nostagia Googles are real, since they were quite disliked by most fans when they first aired.
I actually liked all three of those episodes quite a bit when I first saw them, and I still do... The "nostalgia goggles" hypothesis could be true, but I feel as if most of the reason why this season has been getting mediocre reviews (in general) is because of the screwed-up order in which Comedy Central is airing them. I do distinctly remember episodes from each season that I didn't like so much, and I remember a few that I absolutely hated. Season 6 had a smattering of both of these, probably in equal proportion to the other seasons. It seems like the effect was just exaggerated (for me, anyway) because my favorite episodes of the season have all occurred near the end. EDIT (so that this is back on-topic... I seriously stroked out and thought this was the "Has Futurama Gotten Worse? Thread"): I got the impression from this "finale" that they'll probably pick up next season with Fry and Leela in a similar place in their relationship as they were in season 6, disregarding certain out-of-character moments. While they had the touching moment at the end, I get the feeling that it will only result in Fry and Leela once again considering a relationship, although not necessarily pursuing one.
