Mods, please move to the 'Law and Oracle' thread.
Hell no, this is the general discussion thread. I tried creating a thread for stuff like it, but it was locked and I was told to come here. By a mod. Ha.

They don't really bother me either, I like to see the overall change from season 1 to season 6 as Fry getting older. I don't even notice a difference episode from episode unless I really think about it, and it is just as easy to shut it off. Personally, I admire most voice actors and -actresses out there, because it seems so magical and extraordinary for me. I can picture people acting (regularly), painting, playing music, writing, what have you, but voice acting has a special place in my heart because it seems so magical. The times I've seen video of someone from the cast while doing their voices... wow. It feels impossible. I really admire that someone like Billy West (and John DiMaggio and all the others) can do such varied and such cool voices, and be able to reproduce it from year to year.
Still, I can get annoyed when a more seldom used character comes back with a somewhat different voice. Not extremely annoyed every time, but somewhat, because the first voice really sticks with me. This has been the case with quite a few secondary and tertiary characters of the second run, including but not limited to Smitty and Roberto.

But you're discussing Law and Oracle specifically in it. It's like if we have a religion debate in the test thread. And, for that matter, the purpose of this thread is much more defined than the test thread: this is for discussion and comparison between episodes at large, specifically the "Everything sucks now" topic. We have threads for the individual episodes, it would behoove you to discuss the individual episodes in their individual threads. I mean, Law and Oracle's thread even stickied. And don't even try to make this ad hominem.

I personally liked both "In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela" and "Attack of the Killer App," but I know I'm pretty much alone there. Ditto with my appreciation for "Neutopia" and "Benderama." When "In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela" first aired, I pretty much loved it, just because it was the first episode (together with "Rebirth") for so long. When I watched it again and thought more about it, I started getting annoyed by some things, but I grew to appreciate it still. Now it's below average for me, but I wouldn't call it a terrible episode. I loved "Attack of the Killer App" from the beginning as well (more than "In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela"), and I still though, maybe just because I didn't get the Susan Boyle joke (I had never heard of her). Now, it's about average. Both "Neutopia" and "Benderama" are about average as way, "Benderama" a tad above. So I don't think you're all alone on this.

Well I can see why some characters would go on deliveries.
Amy = She's young and the same age as Fry/Leela (roughly), and would probably be the most interested in visiting other worlds. She also seems to be the only other character besides Leela who knows how to pilot the ship properly. Also she's a mechanic who would be able to fix the ship if something went wrong or it needed maintainence over a long trip, and being a physicist, seeing other worlds would probably be good for her research. Maybe less so now that she's a doctor, and not a student anymore. As well as being able to fix the ship, she'd also be able to help repair Bender if he needed it. She probably shouldn't go too much so she doesn't upset the status quo, and she is the professor's assistant. Still I think she and the Professor really are the only ones having any business joining the crew, for the reasons I mentioned. She certainly has more excuse coming on trips then Zoidberg does.
Zoidberg = Well he is woefully incompetent, but unless Amy and the Professor are inventing something, he'd probably be needed more in space then in the building. He is a doctor after all, and they trust him with their lives... for some reason.
Hermes = He's a paperwork desk jockey. No excuse.
The Professor: He'd go for the same reasons Amy would, pretty much. So I think really, I would say him and Amy have the most reasons to go into space.
