As I did last year, I've decided to not really look at any spoilers/reviews/previews so I can go into this without any particular expectations.

As long as it's better than last season I'll be happy. And it seems there might be some good shippy episodes
I'm just hoping they realize the mistakes they made with these past two seasons and get back into the "Old Futurama" feel.

I know what they should do...

They pretty much already did that in Prisoner of Benda. Sure, they weren't in their own bodies...but I'd like to think they went home after the end of the episode and tried it again.

But of course, I'm always up for more Fry and Leela love making.

[Reply #362 on:]

Wait, so Fry breaks his leg in the first episode and Leela breaks hers in the second?

Clearly this means that Bender breaks his in the third.

Yeah, as much as we'd like to think, it doesn't exist unless it's on/mentioned in an episode. Plus, the commentary in the Prisoner of Benda (while funny) was patronizing Freela shippers over that scene. I reckon the writers are going to explore every other combination of ship possible before we get satisfactory Fry/Leela snoo-snoo.

cyber_turnip; or they could have a surprising twist and Bender doesn't break his leg 

[Reply #364 on:]

After watching that I imagined how they would do it......I didn't sleep for a week 0.0

[Reply #365 on:]

I'm guessing the awkwardness is because of the end of the world. Seriously, what would you say/do?

The scene layout implies that they do not look at anything specific (with Leela looking down and Fry looking up), but just try to avoid eye contact.  So, an embarassing thing between these characters seems the most plausible explanation.

(Your just that awkward silence, when no one really knows what to say)

I'm a little tired of BTATB info now to be honest. We've seen a decent amount of stuff for the episode, so it's about time we got some material related to another episode.

[Reply #367 on:]

BTATB

Really? I haven't seen anything about this episode yet.

*edit*

Today's thingy on the Countdown, a video clip from 'A Farewell to Arms', which sadly I cannot view, being in the UK and all...

The clip is called 'The World Is Ending Again'.

[Reply #368 on:]

New video on ComedyCentral.com.

I do hope someone uploads it you YouTube...

[Reply #370 on:]

I'm definitely enjoying what I've seen so far, and the clip was great. "A Farewell to Arms" looks like it's gonna be pretty awesome.

[Reply #371 on:]

Gorgeous stuff. I can't wait for that episode.

Also, "shark-splosions" may be my new favorite word.

[Reply #372 on:]

Cowardman away!

[Reply #373 on:]

So what if the "world" is ending in Futurama? I mean don't Humans live on more than one planet in Futurama anyway; like Mars, Doohan 6, and possibly many others that haven't been mentioned in the show. Sometimes, I think they forget they have an intergalactic civilization in Futurama. Sure it might have a psychological effect on the Human race from losing their home world, but it wouldn't be the end of them.

The fate of the universe is a far more serious issue than Earth's doom in Futurama. Since there's only a near infinite number of planets Humans could colonize in the universe.


Edit: And we seen in The Late Philip J. Fry the world did not end at this point in time. Unless, due to changing history, this may have happened.

[Reply #374 on:]

I was thinking that too, this ep seems really pointless if Fry, Bender and the Professor know the Universe/World will end in the super distant future.

Unless they go around trying to convince people it's not, similar to IAGDL.

Yeah, it does seem quite pointless. Since Fry, Farnsworth, and Bender saw the Earth still existed far beyond this so called dooms day date.

Yes, the world will end, but not really all life will end at some time, as for the world's real end it's when the sun becomes a big massive red giant (at this point the Earth is a lifeless desert on the way to having an ocean of lava covering the whole entire planet) and swallows Earth becoming part of the sun as if the Earth had never been, that or Earth drifts off into open space remaining a baron icy rock.

But at the end of the episode, everything goes back to normal. XD

"Cowardman away"
"Ach...some of us were crazy before it was cool"

Okay..these two were priceless...

[Reply #377 on:]

ehm...it isn´t pointless, because it is the future with Fry, Bender and Professor. In "The late Philip J. Fry" we actually see an alternate future. Perhaps they (or one of them) make/s something, which causes the end of the world?

[Reply #378 on:]

Sharksplosions? Awesome! 

Also, it's great to see more of Nine.

You can't view just because you're in the UK? That's messed up. Also, why not the UK when it can be viewed here in Oz?

Also I love how everyone stabs at what they think is a plot hole. There is one difference in this universe:

Just slow it down, I'll shoot Hitler out the window. Darn! I shot Eleanor Roosevelt by mistake.

So really they've got room to move and point the reasoning to that one moment - also the fact that Fry, Bender and Farnsworth would not be in the universe 1 (and consequently 2 (and if you're following the pattern; 5,6,9,10,13,etc)) so it could have something to do with the fact that they're there.

Also, love the new clip, 'Sharksplosions'   There seems to be increasingly more internet jokes >< "some of us were crazy before it was cool" Not sure if that's a good thing or it'll get old fast. (pun not intended).

I'm sorry, but why has this not been pointed out yet: Frys pants exploding? Now that's something I'm curious about - also in relation to the fact he seems unharmed.

Also still curious about as to how Leela broke her leg.

Serious injuries are usually played for laughs.

[Reply #381 on:]

I'm guessing Fry blew his pants off.

I could give you a link but I won't.

[Reply #384 on:]

Please do, cake - I appreciated your last one although it's been removed now which is even more annoying as I can work out how to do them myself when I have an old one to work with.

[Reply #385 on:]

Haha you're a fucking cunt.

It's not just me who wants that link, there are many fans outside the US who want to see it. Your move. Faggot.

[Reply #386 on:]

It's sad you're such a noob.

[Reply #387 on:]

Yeah, when I'm a Space Pope and you're a Crustacean.

[Reply #388 on:]

Yeah, title on smf forum is serious business.

[Reply #389 on:]

Actually, it is.

Anyway, on the Countdown today, Fry and Leela's prom photo!

[Reply #390 on:]

That's surely something the shippers will enjoy.

A Planet Express prom? I'm looking forward to this episode even more.

[Reply #391 on:]

Huh.  I wonder if Leela still has her carpet prom dress laying around somewhere.  Eh, she probably got a new one by now, but it's hard to tell from this image.

Also, it's not good forum etiquette to use post count as a dick measuring contest.  Just sayin.   

[Reply #392 on:]

I wonder if the PE prom will be half as good as the V Bros. prom was?

I suspose only time will tell.

[Reply #393 on:]

Cake, please shove your head up one of your asses.

This episode looks awesome!

[Reply #394 on:]

Strippers mutating into killer insects?  That's tough to beat but I think Futurama will come up with something special.  It is the end of the world after all.

[Reply #395 on:]

No prom can top the Magical Night in the Meat Locker.

But maybe this one will...

[Reply #396 on:]

That's surely something the shippers will enjoy.

I am not sure wether we are really going to see a PE prom:
The photo might have been taken before said episode, and serves just as an accesory in a scene (with the characters remembering the prom, but without showing it).

Normally, they just show single character designs (e.g "Leela in her PR prom dress" would be expected).
That this design explicitely refers to a photo looks a bit suspicious...
(Of course, they might have deliberately chosen that photo, for good previews always have to be a bit misleading... )

[Reply #397 on:]

It could also be similar to Fear of a Bot Planet where they use a series of photos as the outro to the episode and we don't really see the events like you said.

[Reply #398 on:]

Good example:)

[Reply #399 on:]

Your post reminded me of it.

Looks like there is a podcast with DXC and Groening up on iTunes!  Listening now.
