[#160 :]

And a skull in the corner!

[#161 :]

There is plenty of skulls in that picture. Check out behind the aquarium...

[#162 :]

One of them looks like a Cyclophage skull...

Woah, 2 Cyclophage references in the space of two episodes, 7ACV16 and 7ACV17.

*edit*

Today on the Countdown:

[#163 :]

Dang........ I wonder how Fry got like that.

[#164 :]

I'm assuming this is still from "T.: The Terrestrial", the damn Tumblr posts never say which episode what they are posting is from.

[#165 :]

The skull behind the aquarium might also belong to this gentleman:

(Maybe even a "last second addition" because of Harryhausen's death?)

[#166 :]

Love it. But why isn't his head also encased in carbonite?

[#167 :]

Neat! I love the details and the fire amy is holding
Looks like fry's head is just copy+paste on that block, looks a bit off... I don't think this will be t.:the terrestial... I'd rather say 'the inhuman torch' for some reason...

[#168 :]

Love it. But why isn't his head also encased in carbonite?

Might be the beginning of a process to free him.
Also, to increase the "Ouch" factor should the block drop to it's front.
(Which -with Fry's face open- is rather likely to happen )

Most countdown images feature plot relevant details. Yet -as classic sci fi elements are often used as single gags- I wonder wether that scene is also one of those throwaway gags.

[#169 :]

I like how professor and Amy are going to deforst Fry like it's not a big deal.

Also, to increase the "Ouch" factor should the block drop to it's front.
(Which -with Fry's face open- is rather likely to happen )

Yeah, that should definitely happen.

I wonder if Fry is able to speak at that moment: "C'mon, hurry up now!"

[#170 :]

The today's pic is already out.

[#171 :]

Strap in the guitar is attached oddly to neck rather than to body. I know, unnecessary point.

[#172 :]

So, was the picture of Fry in carbonite from "T.: The Terrestrial" or "Forty Percent Leadbelly"?

[#173 :]

We allready saw it, but it still is pretty cool! I have no knowledge of guitar straps^^

[#174 :]

Yay, Lee Supercinski confirmed that the still of Fry in carbonite is from "Forty Percent Leadbelly"!

[#175 :]

Technically it's a dobro and is often played on the lap with a solid steel piece used on the frets.

[#176 :]

Strap in the guitar is attached oddly to neck rather than to body. I know, unnecessary point.

As demonstrated e.g. by this gentleman here:
http://www.martinsmusikkiste.de/artikelimages_klein/xxl_206827.jpg

Technically it's a dobro and is often played on the lap with a solid steel piece used on the frets.

Little additional info for the non-muscians:
The instrument itself is a resonator guitar. "Dobro" is the name of a registered trademark held by the Gibson Guitar Corporation, used for a paticular design of resonator guitars.
(Yep, that one was nitpicky )

Today on the Countdown:



I'm assuming that's Bender's folk singing hero who has been in jail 30 times.

[#178 :]

I think you're right Danny, as a robot with a thumb it looks like he will be able to play guitar...
He looks pretty creepy to me, also: are those handles on his shoulders? dafuq

[#179 :]

I can picture him being in jail. Strange name, is it artist name or what he's known in prison?

[#180 :]

Probably his name as an artist.

[#181 :]

The name "Big Caboose" might be fitting for some travelling folk musician with certain hobo-like qualities.
The combination of "Railway" and "Music" made me think of "Starlight Express", but I guess he will not be used for such a reference. Wrong kind of music, and the design also does not look glamorous/colourful enough.

[#182 :]

I like how in the above picture Amy's big goggles are still smaller than the Prof's giant glassess, that poor half mad hlaf insane blind as a bat man.

Also Big Caboose seems very classic in his design, and that's a good thing!

[#183 :]

It does seem like a bit of a throwback. Except cleaner, obviously.

[#184 :]

I like that design. There's always been a shortage of red robots on the show.

[#185 :]

Big Caboose reminds me Destructor for some raisin.

[#186 :]

Today on the Countdown:



The fembot is called Jezebel.

[#187 :]

So that's why Bender wanted to become folk-musician.

[#188 :]

I liked that Salon Dancer design.

[#189 :]

I like the details on this one, also benders jacket(which I think they forgot to outline on one sleeve...)

[#190 :]

(which I think they forgot to outline on one sleeve...)

Where?

[#191 :]

The part between the wrist and the guitar, right?
Hm...guess it's fine, the outline is just covered.

[#192 :]

Also, it looks like a flannel shirt rather than a jacket.

[#193 :]

They seemingly forget to outline benders shirt right by his left hand.

[#194 :]

They seemingly forget to outline benders shirt right by his left hand.

Hope they fix it, I mean, they have enough time.

[#195 :]

Do we know what episode this is from?

[#196 :]

I think we can be safe in assuming 40% Leadbelly

[#197 :]

Today we’ve got another look at the upcoming episode, “Forty Percent Leadbelly.”

[#198 :]

So Bender starts dating a purple haired robot who styles her hair in a ponytail???

[#199 :]

Hope they fix it, I mean, they have enough time.

With production stopped, I would guess it won't be.
