[Marge Simpson] ""Call me a killjoy, but I think that because this is not to my taste, no one else should be able to enjoy it!" " [/Marge Simpson]  But in all fairness: An "uncancellation" will also block certain TV ressources. With Futurama around, a potential new Sci Fi comedy show might not be launched ("We already have that Groening show, we do not need another). With Futurama cancelled, the new show's launch chances are increased. So -when having stopped watching Futurama- wishing for a new show that has not become unwatchable for you make quite sense.

- "A Leela of her Own" was basically the typical "Homer Simpson Solo Career" plot taken to Futurama. "The Simpsons episode shifted to the other series", so to speak. As Blernsball turned to Baseball-like, the usual "new twist on an existing theme" Futurama should incorporate was missing. - Lobstertainment's theme of a former star actor -who no longer fits into the modern entertainment industry- was not bad per se. Yet, it was not handled in a very sci fi-y way. Again, the story was not spiced up by a new twist. -Cryonic Women had a great start. The "Mad Max" endtime scenario should have been a sci fi classic. Unfortunately, it was handled too underdimensioned by reducing the main characters to Fry, with Michelle and some kids taking turns to push him around. - Bending in the wind: Well..I liked it

I didn't mind the episodes' plot, exactly - It did build off of an established idea, and It had a nice pairing, as you said. It was the execution that I think ruined it. It's true 'Killer App' was way, way less subtle about their modern day references, but just because that one's references were more obvious than this ones, that doesn't mean this one's are completely unnoticeable. Had the similarities between Gay marriage and Robobsexual marriage somehow been toned down, I likely would've enjoyed this one more, in the end. It's not like the jokes were particularly bad; and, like I said, the basic Plot was decent, as well.
