Futurama News all the latest things happening in the year 3000 now

The Shelter looks like it's made of stone, and my guess is that if you get inside it you are un-affected by the button that reverses time by 10 seconds.

For example, you might need to warn everyone about something 30 seconds ago, but if you use the button it reverses you as well as everyone else (so your memories and all events in those 30 seconds are erased), so you get inside and press the button 3 times, emerge and tell everyone to not do whatever they originally did.

Kind of like Curtis' original power in Misfits.

*edit*

I don't think the Shelter itself is the actual machine that turns back time by 10 seconds, I swear DXC said it was a "button" in an interview.

[Reply #801 on:]

Yeah, that makes more sense, of course it can be a shelter.

[Reply #802 on:]

it's a shelter where the time doesn't effect you, that's what I think it means by time shelter you know like Bomb Shelter

Page 21?! What is this sorcery!


I'm confused with this thread though, and this thread. Aren't they both relatively the same?

Anyway, if this is general Futurama discussion, the actual general one, then Futurama 7B apparently premieres on the 20/06/2013. Oh my! I'm looking forward as to how it'll play out.

That's for just general Futurama chatter that doesn't really fit in with any other thread or isn't important enough to be given it's own thread.

19/06/2013.

Countdown to Futurama: Time Shelter

I'm surprised they bothered to show off the design of something that's honestly quite unremarkable.

19/06/2013.

So in other words, 20/06/2013 here in Australia. 

[Reply #806 on:]

for everyone in the US there is a futurama marathon on comedy central starting at 4pm Pacific standered time tommrow and also almost all day on june 19th

[Reply #807 on:]

I'm still sad about the show ending...

But I'm also oddly excited that it's ending!!!!

Yesss, some damn finality!

[Reply #808 on:]

So in other words, 20/06/2013 here in Australia. 

And here in the UK.

Countdown to Futurama: Fry Falling

I don’t know why Fry is falling in this still image from the upcoming episode, “Meanwhile,” but I hope he does a flip.

[Reply #810 on:]

"I died. I'm dead! I'm gonna die!"

[Reply #811 on:]

What the hell is that building?

[Reply #812 on:]

It looks stone so... a castle or a hunted house maybe? That looks like some sort of gargoyle below Fry.

[Reply #813 on:]

I guess it's an ordinary skyscraper.
Many of those sport an demonstratively old fashinoned top section in movies.

[Reply #814 on:]

I guess it's an ordinary skyscraper.

Looks very gothic to me.

[Reply #815 on:]

It's time to close this thread already I believe.. 21 pages, wowwee!


FRY.... IS GONNA DIE?!?!?!?!?!

[Reply #816 on:]

I wonder if this is the same stage as at the end of the trailer...

[Reply #817 on:]

It should be, but since this frame wasn't in that clip and the building looked more modern and simpler, I'm not sure. Must be from different angle afterwards, when situation is being explained or something.

[Reply #818 on:]

So Fry's going to commit suicide? Someone will probably reverse this with the time button, but I wonder what will cause Fry to do this? I'm guessing either Leela didn't marry Fry at the wedding or Fry thought that Leela was frozen in time forever/killed from the time button.

[Reply #819 on:]

Some guy called Stu Livingston reblogged today's Countdown preview on his Tumblr page, he added:

Here’s a shot I boarded from one of the craziest sequences I’ve ever had to storyboard — NEW FUTURAMA WEDNESDAY!

[Reply #820 on:]

Seems like he is a storyboard artist and has worked with Futurama
http://www.stuartlivingston.com/

"one of the craziest sequences" - Sounds promising, I hope.

So Fry's going to commit suicide?

Not necessarily, he could have fallen by accident.

[Reply #821 on:]

I'm pretty sure it's not suicide; in the preview, he sounded more panicked and shocked than he would if it were intentional. I also don't think Leela was the problem since in the preview she was still on the ground watching and wearing her engagement ring. Maybe she'll be the one to use time travel and save Fry this time.

[Reply #822 on:]

For some reason I have an idea that he'll be in the middle of a depressed daydream, come to his senses and realise he's unwittingly committed (committing?) suicide.

Countdown to Futurama: Fry Falling

I don’t know why Fry is falling in this still image from the upcoming episode, “Meanwhile,” but I hope he does a flip.

Am I the only one who thinks the building looks like a church? It is pretty gothic and the purple tint on the windows could be stained glass. There also seems to be a gargoyle at the bottom of the frame. (What it really reminds me of is the building Pazuzu was on with his baby in Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles, but it's unlikely to be that.)

I can't remember what the First Amalgamated Church looks like though. Maybe it's that?

[Reply #824 on:]

Doubt it.

[Reply #825 on:]

Guess not then. I still think it looks like a church of some kind though. I'm getting a real Notre-Dame Cathedral vibe from it.

(On a side note, I like Fry's outfit. It's always fun when we get to see the primary characters out of their usual clothes. This looks like an interview outfit or something - though judging from Leela in the trailer, it's probably a date outfit.)

another promo I uploaded

Yes I was in a differnt room as last time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JXatNxtWKo
another https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-aET8Vk9D8

[Reply #827 on:]

Thanks for the upload, Kataang! I hadn't seen that one before.

[Reply #828 on:]

So that was Bender... in the end of the year 1999? And Fry's father nearby?

[Reply #829 on:]

I hope he does a flip too, but I don't think he will...

[Reply #830 on:]

There would be more flailing of the arms if it were an accident. Lets face it - Leela probably broke his heart again. I'd say he does want to kill himself, but his short short term memory is erased because of the 10 second thing, and he then panics ( as seen in the very first preview).

[Reply #831 on:]

He shouted "I died, I'm dead, I'm gonna die".
So his "suicide" might be used to close some sort of time loop.

Oh, and about the building:





The same purple window glass colour. So, despite the gothic topping and ordinary lower frame, it is most certainly the same building.

I thought the gothic part of building would be the bottom part (not that it matters in any way).

And thanks Kataang of those promos. All that looks so intriguing, I really can't wait new episodes.

Why is thread not locked already?

[Reply #835 on:]

^This. Thanks for uploading them.

"I'm sorry, octopusses is also acceptable."

They are only acceptable with the right amount of tentacles.
Which -as we learned from "I, Roommate"- means exactly 7 tentacles
(Couldn't count them properly on the promo, though).

[Reply #836 on:]

Here's a billboard Comedy Central is using to advertise in LA and NYC.

[Reply #837 on:]

You're welcome I didn't count them, but what does an octopus have to do with being a folk singer

also the billboard I think I drove past that exact spot in LA

before the billboard was up

Looks to me like a gothic-themed hotel.

So, they're finally doing the episode were all the crew go back to Fry's time? Or just Bender (again)? I'm super excited now. My guess is that that scene is from "Game of Tones".

[Reply #839 on:]

FREEFALL! Aw man, that building is going to be all red when fry splashes onto the ground... Pazuzu was my first intention as well, but I doubt that.
Thanks for uploading those trailers Kataang! Totally apreciate them! (Awsome poster as well, wish I lived in LA)
