The Futurama "Random Order" Test

[Reply #120 on:]

My ratings for this week's assignment:

Route: b6.5/10
LLLiS: 7/10
Bicyclops: 9/10

Obviously, I liked Bicyclops the best out of the bunch. Not that the others were terrible; I just felt like they were lacking that "punch" that ABBfT has. And I know a lot of people love LLLiS, but I dunno...the pacing just felt very slow to me, and the lack of music was disconcerting (as I have mentioned elsewhere, so I'll shut up about that now!). Plus, I'm really not a huge Nibbler fan, and he played a large part in this episode.

Man, I do not get the premise of this thread at all...

Either you need to figure out a way to nest topics at a third level...or you have got to explode the entire access page and start over.

Pardons...

OR MAYBE BOTH!

I didn't get around to watching this past week's episodes, so hopefully I find time to cram six in this coming week. For those of you who haven't procrastinated like me, here are the next three episodes:

10/02/11 - 10/08/11
1. A Clone of My Own
2. Put Your Head on My Shoulder
3. Anthology of Interest I

Three nice, solid season two episodes. Again, it ought to be a good week (and doubly good for me, I suppose, since I'm a week behind).

[Reply #124 on:]

Yup, that was a good week. My ratings are as follows:
A Clone of my Own 8/10
Put Your Head on My Shoulder 9/10
Anthology of Interest I 10/10
Season 2 was so fucking great. By far my favourite.

@ Gorky: You be a good student and finish your assignments. I will instead waste my time with cartoons and video games since there aren't any assignments at my college. Sure, there are exams coming up, but I'm probably going to pass them and bad grades won't be any problem until some point in the future... like 3 or 4 years from now... go to hell, tomorrow-me!

[Reply #125 on:]

1. A Clone of My Own 8/10
2. Put Your Head on My Shoulder 9/10
3. Anthology of Interest I 8/10

I like how three Season 2 eps ended up in the same week. Nice. All were good, classic Futurama. Season 2 was solid. I still think 4 is my favorite though.

[Reply #126 on:]

1. A Clone of My Own - 8/10
2. Put Your Head on My Shoulder - 9.5/10
3. Anthology of Interest I - 9/10

So overall, all good episodes. This was a pretty good week.

[Reply #127 on:]

A movie and two Season 6 episodes coming up? Evil, evil random!

[Reply #128 on:]

At least the two season six episodes are among the better ones; I share your lack of enthusiasm for "Bender's Game," though.

Anyway, here are the relevant links for this week:

Week of 10/09/11 - 10/15/11
1. Bender's Game
2. The Mutants Are Revolting
3. Reincarnation

[Reply #129 on:]

Oh, I was mostly mourning the lack of diversity, but that's random for you. The episodes themselves are actually pretty decent. Reincarnation and TMAR are among the best Season 6 episodes. I haven't watched Bender's Game in a while and kinda look forward to it, even though it wasn't the strongest movie.

[Reply #130 on:]

Oh, I just watched BG like two weeks ago. rrrr.

Those are two of the best Season 6 episodes, though, and I will willingly and eagerly rewatch them.

[Reply #131 on:]

My ratings for this past week's episodes:

A Clone of My Own: 7.5/10
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: 9/10
Anthology of Interest: 9/10

[Reply #132 on:]

I watched "Bender's Game" three months ago, and I honestly don't think my opinion of it will change much after a re-watch. I'm mixed about it, and overall (in my opinion) it's the worst of the four movies. I was thinking of skipping it, but in the spirit of the Random Order Test, I'll re-watch it anyway.

I will agree that TMAR and Reincarnation are two great Season 6 episodes. I'll definitely look forward to watching both of them.

I also watched it a couple of months ago, and I'm none too eager to watch it again. It's easily the least enjoyable movie, and probably a bottom twenty-five episode for me overall.

'Course, considering I'm a solid week and a half behind on my episode-viewin', by the time I actually get to BG, it'll probably be, you know, mid-December. So at least I don't yet have to subject myself to the pain of a rewatch.

Merry x-mas! By the time you read this, this should be true!

I'm still on week 2  

[Reply #136 on:]

So yeah, for last week I came to the conclusion that...

A Clone of My Own 10/10
Put Your Head on My Shoulder 9.5/10
Anthology of Interest 9/10

Season Two is just very solid and good...

[Reply #137 on:]

This week's ratings in a nutshell:

Bender's Game 6/10
The Mutants are Revolting 8/10
Reincarnation 10/10

[Reply #138 on:]

Ratings...

Bender's Game: 5/10
The Mutants Are Revolting: 8.5/10
Reincarnation: 9.5/10

[Reply #139 on:]

On behalf of Gorky, this week's episode list:

Week of 10/16/11 - 10/22/11

1. Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television
2. A Clockwork Origin
3. That Darn Katz!

[Reply #140 on:]

Beat me to it, bendingunit! Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.

And yay for a season four episode being mixed in with two (consecutive, for some odd reason) season six episodes. At least they're not all from the new run.

[Reply #141 on:]

Has anyone noticed that "Love and Rocket" lands on the week of Valentines day?

[Reply #142 on:]

Oh my god, really? The RNG has sentiments. Only plausible explanation.

mmfg I am so behind on this. I'll watch this weeks' tonight, maybe.

[Reply #143 on:]

No, I hadn't noticed; thanks for pointing that out!  I don't think I've seen Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television more than once, and I've forgotten a lot of details.  I have been slacking, mostly because it's difficult for be to watch arbitrary eps 'cause I don't want to buy the DVDs but I don''t have a Blu-Ray player yet.

[Reply #144 on:]

Same here, I own most of the eps on iTunes but not all of them (and none of the movies). So watching cerain eps is a bit of a hassle. But I am managing!

[Reply #145 on:]

I have seasons 1 and 2 on DVD I have 3 and 4 on my BT Vision Box and I have Benders Game on my Sky+HD box and I have "The Beast with a Billion Backs" on Dvd So I only need to watch season 6 and a couple of movies online

[Reply #146 on:]

I don't know how people can live without having the show on DVD/Blu-Ray/etc...

[Reply #147 on:]

In the early days of my Futurama fandom, when only the first two seasons were out on DVD in the U.S., I managed. Mostly I tried to catch seasons three and four when they aired on Adult Swim, which was kind of difficult considering I was eleven and the episodes were on after my bed time. But I stuck to it, damn it, and you whippersnappers can, too!

Anyway, here are this week's episodes...

Week 10/23/11 - 10/29/11
1. Fry and the Slurm Factory
2. Raging Bender
3. Bender Gets Made

[Reply #148 on:]

My ratings for last week:

Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television: 8/10
A Clockwork Origin: 9/10
That Darn Katz!: 6/10

[Reply #149 on:]

I'm not quite as lenient.
Bender... Television 6/10
Clockwork Origin 7/10
That Darn Katz 4/10

Interestingly, I rated every episode exactly two points lower than bendingunit6.

[Reply #150 on:]

Week of 10/30/11 - 11/05/11

1. A Flight to Remember
2. A Taste of Freedom
3. The Futurama Holiday Spectacular

And each one comes from a different season, which I like.

[Reply #151 on:]

I like Flight to Remember, but I am a bit underwhelmed with the prospect of rewatching the other two. Though the notion of reopening the Holiday Spectacular rantfest is probably even more unappealing.

[Reply #152 on:]

I don't hate the Holiday Spectacular, and I actively enjoy "A Taste of Freedom"--still, I agree that AFtR is the only great episode of those three. ('Course, this is all irrelevant, as I am still ridiculously behind on this rewatch. I plan on catching up over Thanksgiving break; it ought to be a fun time.)

Anyway, here are this week's episodes...

Week of 11/06/11 - 11/12/11
1. The Beast With a Billion Backs (There was no definitive or clearly-marked review thread for this one that I could find, so I just went with the one Nixorbo linked to at the end of another closed, and presumably superfluous, review thread.)
2. Insane in the Mainframe (This one was also tricky to find; I went with a thread that Teral linked to in yet another closed thread.)
3. My Three Suns

With the possible exception of Billion Backs (which I think I enjoy more than most), I'd say those are three solid episodes. Hell, "Insane in the Mainframe" may just be my favorite episode of all time.

[Reply #153 on:]

Is it sad I'm still on week 2?

[Reply #154 on:]

I think I need to jump in on this. I just need to read everything so I know what's going on it seems interesting.

[Reply #155 on:]

Do it, BF! It's a fun time (I'd imagine. I'm so very, very behind).

Anyway, here are the episodes for this week:

Week of 11/13/11 - 11/19/11
1. When Aliens Attack
2. Godfellas
3. A Fishful of Dollars

[Reply #156 on:]

I'm behind as well.
I try to take out some time of my week to watch it but then i either forget about it or I'm not in the mood!

[Reply #157 on:]

Week of 11/20/11 to 11/26/11

1. Brannigan, Begin Again
2. Where the Buggalo Roam
3. The Luck of the Fryrish

Alrighty, guys, go nuts.

[Reply #158 on:]

Week of 11/27/11 - 12/3/11

1. The Series Has Landed
2. The Problem With Popplers
3. In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela

If Randi or another wonderful mod could maybe rename and/or add a poll to the Popplers review thread, that might be cool. It was the closest thing I could find to a preexisting review thread, and I didn't want to be opening another one all willy-nilly.

[Reply #159 on:]

Just in case anyone is still doing this thang...

Week of 12/04/11 - 12/10/11

War is the H-Word
I Dated a Robot
Spanish Fry
