I think that, as you suggested, the trains come from outside NNY.
The tubes are just meant to be a replacement for buses, are they not -centralised within New New York?
True, but we also see a lot of buses as well, and cars. I would have thought the tube system rendered just about all centralized public transport obsolete, but I guess they have to have secondary transport to relieve the pressure that so many passengers on the tubes must have. Maybe you have different Tube "lines" (like you have the different lines on the London Underground/tube, or the M/TrainFtrains/whatever in Ny? I'm not sure, but hey, the tubes look cool, the upsidedown trains look cool, the flying buses look cool.) Also, if the trains are from outside NY, I really would love to see what a futuristic Grand Central Station would look like (maybe it will turn out there are extra signs of the Zodiac now or something). Not Penn station. That place is an absolute dump. Also I'm glad to see i'm not the only one who prefers Fry/Amy now! After Fry, she is the kindest character on the show.

But the Amy/Fry relationship was impossibly shallow; two people can't forge a decent relationship just because they're both nice (and because they feel the same way about junk and stuff). I don't want to be trite and say that opposites attract...but, at the very least, people shouldn't be falling in love with carbon copies of themselves. Fry and Leela are a much more interesting couple to me (when they're written consistently, that is--and, in season six, it's been sort of a crapshoot), because Leela challenges Fry to be a better person (selfless and mature) and Fry challenges Leela to be a better person (more kindhearted, more impulsive). This is a conversation better suited for the shipping thread, so I'll stop there, but suffice it to say that I think Fry and Leela's relationship is more compelling (and, unfortunately, much more maddening) than Fry and Amy's.
Also: I love Amy with Kif, and their relationship has also gone a long way towards developing both characters as individuals.

Nowt like a bit of Ship to Ship Combat.
That just sounds like a euphamism for two guys firing semen at each other from across the room.
In other words: My Friday night.

i'd rather see amy single again than with the beta male, kif. let her go back to her floozy ways, i say!
Really? Why so? I honestly like them together. It brings continuity and stability to yet another part of the show. And, like others have mentioned, it develops the two characters more.

I need more Zapp and Kif. There aren't enough of them recently, even if just for a cameo like in I Dated a Robot.

Zapp made an appearance in the first three episodes, didn't he? And Kif was in "Benderama" and possibly "Ghost in the Machines"? I think a consequence of airing the episodes out of order is that there was some character overload towards the start of the season (a lot of Scruffy, for example), and it's thinned out as the season has progressed. But yeah, I love me some Zapp and Kif. I'm looking forward to that episode next season where Zapp has the hots for Leela's mom. Lots of potential there, I think.

6B has been a big disappointment so far,
Way too many people have been saying this, I think it's been better than 6A.
