Bring on Season 7! - General Futurama Discussion

[Reply #400 on:]

I hope that it is some kind of complicated Sci-Fi plot, like TWoF, BBS, or Sting. I think that those plots would rather take off smoothly than some bad episode about some lame stuff going down.

I'm going on Twitter and telling Eric Rogers to tell DXC and co. that the title has to change. I would advise you to do the same, because as a low as the chances are, it's the closest we can get to changing it. 

[Reply #401 on:]

I highly doubt that tweeting to change the names will actually change them. And yes, while the title does have something to do with how we perceive the episode and also predict its success or failure, it's really the content of the episode that counts.

Of course, the fact that we have no clue as to what could possibly happen in an episode entitled "Fun on the Bun" is a little unnerving. I just hope it turns out better than it sounds, for the sake of the show. I'm trying to stay optimistic. Or a little beyond my normal pessimism. 

Maybe Bender gets a job at a fast food restaurant flipping burgers, but decides that he needs to do something else, so he goes off with his friend Patrick and plays hooky.

Something's not right...

Seriously guys it's not THAT bad (I also wouldn't go around telling the staff what to do...)

[Reply #403 on:]

You do have a point, we shouldn't interfere with the staff, so I guess my anger subsided by now. But it is a bad title. I don't think they've ran out of titles, as we are a little bit over a hundred episodes, and we should have plenty more.

[Reply #404 on:]

No way can a fan do something like that. Over Twitter. Or at all.

And it isn't that bad.

[Reply #405 on:]

I'm just going to have to hope that they realize it on their own. We have a brilliant group of writers, animators, and so on.

[Reply #406 on:]

They're smart enough to know what they're doing.

Well Otis, every Rose has it's thorns. But this one was a real prick!

[Reply #409 on:]

*cough* Yo Leela Leela *cough*...

Well they said on the commentary that it was because they had kids, so it's their choice. I'm sure a PEELer or fan of the show with children can really relate to the episode. I did kind of, my half brother is 4 and my half sister is almost 2, so I can see what they were trying to do.

Still, it sucked...

[Reply #410 on:]

I was at my uncle's house when it aired, and his 3 year old watched it with us right after watching an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba. She liked it...

I actually noticed that before Leela did, and it sorta annoyed me for a second, but then I realized it was intentional.

Are you talking about your post or the statue?

[Reply #414 on:]

I noticed the statue first.

Wow you are that dumb are you?

Eh, it was more of a blonde moment. I am usually smart and am in all honors.

Ask Mattcho8008, he goes to my school. I am taking 9th grade academic (8th Grade Honors, Algebra 1), and the rest of my classes. Seriously, ask him.

[Reply #420 on:]

Dude I'm joking...

[Reply #421 on:]

On a related topic to the subject, I think it's quite obvious how Free Will is the new name for Free Will Hunting. Shame, I liked the original better.

[Reply #422 on:]

No, no, Freewill Hunting is the new name. DXC mentioned it recently, so yeah. Free Will was probably the working title, it must be, that's a shit name.

[Reply #423 on:]

Oh thank God, Freewill Hunting is a brilliant title and for some reason makes me think of another Bender and Hermes episode, like the brilliant "Lethal Inspection".

[Reply #424 on:]

You're getting a Bender and Hermes vibe from it are you? I think it might be an episode about the Yarn People of Nylar 4 and their torrid relationship with the Omicronians...

[Reply #425 on:]

I've got a gutsy feeling about "Blue Munda". It sorta has that IaGDL feel to it. I just no that at the end, Leela and Zapp will get intimate out of jealousy. Instead, some new Zapp lines would help this episode a lot.

[Reply #426 on:]

I think 31st Century Fox is the new name for Blue Munda. We already know Blue Munda is or was a working title.

[Reply #427 on:]

I prefer Blue Munda. The word Fox just has bad connotations regardless of what it's actually referring to...

[Reply #428 on:]

DXC mentioned it recently, so yeah.

What? Wither?

I was just wondering if I had missed an interview or some such, as I am rather ignorant of these things, and also forgetful.

[Reply #429 on:]

No, when they were doing that online auction of the signed Bender figure and that, he told CGEF that if the person who wins the bid tells the seller they were sent there through CGEF, he would throw in the cover of the script signed for free.

[Reply #430 on:]

Ah, that actually does ring a bell. Thanks, Danny.

Eh, I think both titles are fine. "Blue Munda" is admittedly a bit more obscure and thus feels a bit more like a title from the original run--but the new title does the trick, too. Incidentally, from what we know (or think we know) of this episode, this one has me really excited. We haven't seen Munda or Zapp in far too long.

Did anyone win yet? And does it have a synopsis of the episode on it or not? I MUST KNOW!!!!!!!!

[Reply #432 on:]

Dunno, and it's not the entire script, it's just the cover.

[Reply #433 on:]

I know, but it could have a synopsis on it. Oh well, I'll guess we'll have to wait until Summer. I'll probably come home from camp on the day of it's release. (I miss half the season because of camp).

Futurama's 9 Most Dramatic Moments

I think Seymour should've of been number 1, I couldn't stop crying.

That article mentions a "seven week coma" in "The Sting".

[Reply #438 on:]

The "of" should not be there. Should've been. Should've is a contraction of "should have", so you just said "should have of".
I'm bitterly disappointed in you.

Futurama's 9 Most Dramatic Moments

Some decent choices, but also some pretty bizarre choices. Overall, bad list. How could nothing from The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings make it? What about when Fry gives Leela his oxygen in Love & Rocket? Do they seriously think that Kif and Amy becoming parents is more dramatic than that?...

The birth of Bender wasn't what I would call dramatic either. If that counts, then why did they neglect The Late Philip J Fry? I would say most of Roswell That Ends well was far more dramatic than Lethal Inspection, what with them trying to get back to the future and all...
