Futurama News (pre-season 7)

[Reply #280 on:]

I like the ass panels at the back.

Anyway, new plot summaries ahoy!

The Thief of Baghead
Bender wants to take a photo of an actor whose face has never been seen so he joins the paparazzi.

Zapp Dingbat
Leela is upset when her mother starts dating Zapp Brannigan

MSN has a whole bunch of other ones that aren't showing up at this point in time.

[Reply #281 on:]

The Thief of Baghead, WTF? Very strange.

And I'll be pissed if Bender doesn't pull his "Neat!" *takes photo* gag in that episode, like how they didn't use Fry's new catchphrase "Help, Police!" in Law and Oracle...

Also, I thought it was "Zapp Dingba", not "Dingbat"?

[Reply #282 on:]

The plot protagonists so far:
121 unkown
122 Bender
123 Leela
124 Bender
125 Leela
(Isn't there someone missing..?)

[Reply #283 on:]

Fry, please! And I'm sure Viva Mars Vegas has Amy as the protagonist.

[Reply #284 on:]

She's named Bev... as in beverage machine.. haha joke.

Wanda Sykes as Bev... oh, dear God, no!

I don't hate her.. I just find her voice annoying as hell.

Are those really the way (order) the eps are going to air... according to msn?

I keep reading/hearing different things on the internet.
_____________________________ _____________

Also I have a stange feeling Zapp and Munda will be an item all season... the status quo might not return... and Morris will become somewhat like Kirk Van Houten.

I Remember.. the ep in question.. it was called 'Blue Munda' once... wasn't it?

Just a guess...

Life on the surface reveals to Munda what a loser Morris is. She becomes depressed and they seperate.. she is sad until she meets a new man.. a star captain.. Zapp "The Velour Lightning" Brannigan!
Meanwhile Leela and the PE crew try and help Morris win Munda's heart back.. but by the end they all learn a lesson about love.. Zapp becomes Leela's new father in-law... cue some jokes about sleeping with your daughter-in-law. The End.

I hope I'm wrong... we will see.

Well CC usually release the stuff in the countdown in the same order as what order the eps are gonna go in, so I imagine it's a "boo-boo".

[Reply #286 on:]

And the last week is usually clips. That's pure gold...

[Reply #287 on:]

Damn. I was hoping the Vending Machine was gonna be named "Vender". That would have been cheesy but amusing.

[Reply #288 on:]

Vender, Bender and Ben... o_O

[Reply #289 on:]

Here is what they released today by the countdown. Is cute

[Reply #290 on:]

Sci-fi, I like it. Wonder how it'll get involved with the plot.

[Reply #291 on:]

It will probably just be a very brief shot or background character, I don't think it will be involved in the main plot

[Reply #292 on:]

Aimee:

watched the finalish color, full animation for #708 at the FOX lot today... it really did turn out nice. Really proud of this one. #futurama

Eric responded to this with:

2013 Emmy nominee. Mark it down. Epic fun.

708 (Fun on a Bun) sounds like the new TLPJF.

I asked Eric:

Would you say it's the new TLPJF?

He said:

I won't go that far, BUT... It is awesome.

[Reply #293 on:]

Anything that's even half as good as TLPJF would be amazing. Now I'm really pumped to find out what that episode's about.

[Reply #294 on:]

I personally like the new pet design, it's really creepy and cool.

[Reply #295 on:]

HOLY CRAP! (These are from 'The Bots and the Bees'.)





Look outside the ship windows, seems like a storm/something tech-y.

Also, nice to see just the three main crew members together again.

[Reply #296 on:]

Hmm... Tedious, no wait the other thing,... interesting - Really, really interesting! Can't wait to see how this fits into the plot...

[Reply #297 on:]

I imagine Ben will get kidnapped or something, and the bottom image is the crew struggling whilst trying to get him back.

[Reply #298 on:]

Wow... Whatever happens will be legendary 

[Reply #299 on:]

I imagine Ben will get kidnapped or something, and the bottom image is the crew struggling whilst trying to get him back.

Interesting theory, you may well be right - On the other hand you may be completely wrong I guess we'll just have to wait and see... 

[Reply #300 on:]

Bender looks pretty damn scared, which further convinces me Ben has been kidnapped.

However, it is extremely common for Bender to be a pussy.

[Reply #301 on:]

 Hm...it's not really certain that the storm will be a major/important plot device.
(Though -judging from the screenshot- the effort that went into that scene seems too much for a quick, unimportant throwaway gag...)

[Reply #302 on:]

Doesn't anybody think that the alien pet looks like one of the brain spawn a little bit......?

[Reply #303 on:]

I was just thinking the exact same thing.
Also why's Fry naked and glowing? I'm looking forward to seeing this new season as it looks fantastic.

[Reply #304 on:]

Why do I have a feeling that this episode will be classic? It just looks that way...

[Reply #305 on:]

Doesn't anybody think that the alien pet looks like one of the brain spawn a little bit......?

I thought that too, maybe it'll be a Doctor Who like thing where they keep popping up in every episode until the big reveal... (Like Bad Wolf and Torchwood.)

[Reply #306 on:]

Nice intriguing pics, looks like some drama in the ep. Definitely raises my hopes a little for it...

[Reply #307 on:]

It looks sort of spider-webby outside the windows. A giant ship-catching space spider, or they ran into some Tholians?

[Reply #308 on:]

Looks like this episode will be fun on the bun, baby, woohooo!!

[Reply #309 on:]

Doesn't anybody think that the alien pet looks like one of the brain spawn a little bit......?

A brain in disguise perhaps   I would love to see more Brain Spawn action! (Cause it would mean a Fry-based episode   and juicy plot)

Random thought: if we put the images in the other order and put a 'before' and 'after'. Would be like another rebirthing but less messy.

Although I'm thinking DannyJC13's on the right track. Although it could just be Ben's ran away (cause he was upset he couldn't bend?) and stowed away on a pirate ship? Or perhaps go looking for a way so he can be upgraded/overclocked to bend (and make daddy proud).  Although that doesn't explain why Fry's glowing...

And the more I look at it, the 'storm' in the window looks a web (and then I've just spotted El-Man's comment - it's not just me, yay!). We've had Space Bees, why not Space Spiders? ... *shudder*

[Reply #310 on:]

Fry is naked and glowing? Did I miss something fun?

[Reply #311 on:]

Fry is naked and glowing? Did I miss something fun?

"Why am I glowing and naked?"

[Reply #312 on:]

Interesting photos. It'll be interesting to see how they'll fit into the plot of the episode.

[Reply #313 on:]

Yeah, I just hope it doesn't have a subplot, like in Benderama

[Reply #314 on:]

I want it to be towards the end, where they save Ben from derp and derp, then they save him...

[Reply #315 on:]

Today's Countdown releases. Ben aging, and sketches of the bike sequence from the montage.

[Reply #316 on:]

Maybe the electrical/web thing could age people thus we see Ben lke this...

[Reply #317 on:]

Maybe the electrical/web thing could age people thus we see Ben lke this...

Nah, I think that's just due to him being a robot.

[Reply #318 on:]

Yah, he already aged a lot from the beginning of the clip through the end of the montage. This episode is going to be a classic.

[Reply #319 on:]

Wow is getting interesting. Perhaps Bender does something wrong and Bev prevent him from seeing his son and they go in the space to looking for him....
