I was cracking up from that still! I got a real darn feeling that this episode is going to be FILLED with Matrix references. And I hope they handle it good too.

[Reply #121 on:]

Personally, I hope they handle it well.

[Reply #122 on:]

I wouldn't be surprised if "Meanwhile" is the name of part 2 of that alleged 2-parter, we're getting.

Well the finale's plot is about Farnsworth making a button that takes the user 10 seconds back in time. So "Meanwhile" could possibly be that episode?

[Reply #123 on:]

Said finale episode is this alleged two-parter, actually.

[Reply #124 on:]

A still from "Near-Death Wish".

Connected to this matrix-y clip from the livestream maybe? (printscreen all the frames!)

Show spoiler

Looking forward to this! <3

Also fanservice (I have no idea which episode these will be in)

Show spoiler

But there's Free Will Hunting soon, why didn't they release a pic for that? Anyways...

Considering that Leela is the only really competent employee at Planet Express, I could see them losing the button, or at least have it pass from character to character, making everything very confusing. Whichever episode this is, it's going to need some very shrewd writing, similar to "The Prisoner of Benda".

From a single still with a single Matrix reference in it?

I guess you could maybe say them going into the internet is Matrix-related too, but still...

[Reply #127 on:]

Well, they did make some weighty allusions to The Matrix in ACOMO, so it's only logical for them to play them up for this one.

*Eagerly awaits the torrent of bitching about pop culture references ruining new Futurama

Looks like the Elders got upgrades.

My guess is on "Viva Mars Vegas".
The image of the uniform wearing characters got some "Ocean 11/12/13/42/etc..." vibe for me.

Just maybe? The camera sweep has 'Matrix' printed all over it. And I don't think they're in the internet. The infosphere says: When the Professor learns that his parents are coming out of virtual retirement from the Near-Death Star, he becomes upset. So they're in a virtual world to go get/visit the Professors parents.

Call back to Fear of a Bot planet ~ <3 Loving all the callbacks and flashbacks this season has given us so far!

But if they were going in to steal monies or something of the like, wouldn't they wear something that looks more spy like?

I think they're just suiting up for a delivery xD

I dunno if this was posted already... but here's one.

I just posted the preview commercial for next week's episode on my youtube profile!

[Reply #138 on:]

Nice, thanks for the upload. So these two must be Professor Farnsworth's parents.

Show spoiler

I'm really interested to see how they portray these characters. This episode has a lot of potential, but we'll see.

[Reply #139 on:]

I wonder which one Fry is great great... grand uncle too. By the little hair horn it looks like the old guy.

Ooooh, looks goood. Thanks for uploading.

*edit*

Found some images from the 2013 Futurama calendar, here!

[Reply #141 on:]

Oh DAMNDAMNDAMNDAMN. A Neutopia inspired calendar. Great, have fun you men while we don't get anything. No Fry pecs for us, no siree!

[Reply #142 on:]

Thanks pumpkin, now I know not to click the link. 

[Reply #143 on:]

I ordered the calendar back in March, and it should be on my desk when I get back to the west coast next week.

[Reply #144 on:]

Leela looks surprisingly hot as a dude, and Fry as Barbarella was fantastic.

[Reply #145 on:]

Wasn't the 2012 calender Neutopia themed as well?

Do not want. 

GIVE US A SHIPPY CALANDER!!!

_{Featuring the Planet Express ship, The Nimbus and the Cuddlebug...} 

[Reply #146 on:]

Imagine you could pick the pictures - you have twelve spots to fill. What would you want to see? Not screenshots from the show. Original pieces.

[Reply #147 on:]

Then why don't we just make a Dress-up Fry Doll for you lady viewers? 

That would be cool if they did, of course I wouldn't buy it though. Because it doesn't appeal to men like me.

[Reply #148 on:]

Leela looks surprisingly hot as a dude

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH.....yeah you're kinda right.

[Reply #149 on:]

Yeah, you know I'm right.

Hmmmm, maybe a shippy calender could be the crew acting out the roles of famous couples in art, music, film, history and culture? 

Examples:
Bender doing the Streetcar named Desire STELLA, whilst the Crushiinator rolls down a ramp to him.

Fry and Leela as... Sid and Nancy, maybe?

Amy and Kif as Mario and Peach, only it's Amy's Peach saving Kif's Mario from a Bowser who looks like Zapp. 

Other couples we could include are Mom and the Professor, or the Wongs and the Conrads.

Not sure if pun went over everybody's head or so lame they ignored it.

A ship calendar, eh? Well if it's inclusive of all couples:

January: A 'happy new year' party with a drunk Kif and Amy dancing sexfully in the middle of all the drunk employees (someone passed out on the floor?)
February: A natural homey scene with Hermes and LaBarbara
March: Easter - (not sure who)
April: A 'Mothers day' theme, Prof & Mom (flashback pehaps?)
May: Zoidberg and Food <3
June: Fry and Leela chilling out somewhere. Preferably with as little clothes as possible.
July: Bender and <insert female bot(s?) here>
August: Scruffy & Washbucket
September:Kif/Amy
October: Halloween, Fry and Leela trick or treating
November: Munda/Morris
December: Christmas - every couple with Fry and Leela the center/focus under mistletoe

However purely Fry/Leela would be my thing (and I might do this for next year...)
Jan: Drunk Sexting
Feb: Breakfast is served
Mar: Matching sexy bunneh outfits
Aprl: Sleepy-head
May: Shenanigans at work
June: Super Duper Sunscreen Massage
July: Freedom Day Hot Tub
Aug: Lovers spat
Sep: Captain's Quarters
Oct: Trick or Treat
Nov: Uncharted Planet
Dec: Mistletoe

[Reply #151 on:]

Love the idea, but I think we'd need a little Scruffy & Washbucket in there...

[Reply #152 on:]

Does anybody else have a soft spot for Washbucket?  The hopeless romantic with big dreams of a new life with her beloved in another city, stymied by the fact that she is janitorial equipment...

[Reply #153 on:]

Great idea! Edited it in.

[Reply #154 on:]

Calenders are alright, but a Comic of the whole crew nude would be 50x better! 

[Reply #155 on:]

Dec: Mistletoe

For some reason, the following image came to my mind: Leela wearing a necklace with a mistletoe shaped pendant,  looking expentingly/sexfully at Fry. Who gives a confused/innocent look and once again doesn't get it
Or Fry wearing a mistletoe shaped beltbuckle, giving an expecting grin, with Leela staring and turning red.

(Okay...should I ever work in a job demanding romantic stuff -as e.g. a wedding planer- I assume I would quickly become the planet's most wanted man. On a "dead or not alive" basis )

I love Washbucket! It cracked me up when I saw Scruffy carrying her in A Farewell To Arms as well - I love that she hasn't been forgotten about completely.

(N00b alert, by the way. Hi everybody!)

I burst out laughing at this. I'm so immature.
