Exactly, this season is the closest the show has ever gotten to being total meh, and has almost 'jumped the shark'. But ever since "Calculon 2.0" I've really enjoyed it again. Not to mention the last 13 were all a part of this production season (7) and they were all passable in my book. Yes, I enjoyed "Naturama"... much more than X-Mas and Saturday crap at least.
I hope that December 31st 1999, the Brain Spawn, the Nibblonians, their nibble stations, the Big Brain, and Fry's mom all play a huge role in the episode.
Also I hope that they add more people to the 'cyrotube room at the same time conundrum', so we get Fry A, Bender A, Bender B, Fry B, Nibbler, under the desk Fry, Fry in the tube, and now add even more characters there at the same time in a dream revelation. I think it's really funny how we keep going back to that night and more and more is revealed and altered!

Personally, recent episode titles as well as recent episode plotlines have been uncreative. It seems that Futurama has regressed to The Simpsons level of creativity with either episodes having really mule titles or episodes based off of punny, play-on-words mule titles. "Leela and the Genestalk", instead of just being a punny title, took its namesake as inspiration and, for me, bombed in that aspect. It was a similar situation for "Assie Come Home" and was played straighter as a parody in "T.: The Terrestrial". I would have been getting seriously concerned if Futurama would be continuing for another season if they would have resorted to pulling out plots based off of a mediocre title (seriously, read the titles of some of the most recent, like within the last ten years, of Simpsons episodes. "Smoke on the Daughter"? "Homer Scissorhands"? "How I Wet Your Mother"? Or perhaps the most cringeworthy offender, "You Kent Always Say What You Want"?).
I hope my post is coherent enough to follow. Having trouble writing today... and every other day.

I wouldn't say all of them are like that. A good patch, yes, but not all of them. I mean Zapp Dingbat, Thief of Baghead, Vivas Mars Vegas, 2D Blacktop, Big Fling, Fun Pit, and 2.0 wasn't like that at all.

I thought Möbius Dick was a pretty fantastic episode title, too.
Indeed, it was! And I just watched Game of Tones, and was waiting for the Eric Rogers reported moment. It got there. In spades <snif>

Also I hope that they add more people to the cyrotube room, at the same time...
And thus there was Digby. Anyway, here are two awesome bits of trivia I found out about the finale over at the infosphere: 1.The episode will air on cast member John DiMaggio's 45th birthday. 2.Bender tells Fry that he has told Leela that he loves her at least "140 times". This episode is in fact the 140th episode of Futurama.

I don't want the show on Netflix b/c they have even less money than CC.
If the show comes back (yet again).. I want it to have a bigger budget than when it was on CC. The only way it will be good after all that time and being canned so much is to get ALL the writers back, maybe a few new one's, get a nicer animation budget, and a nicer music budget for an orchestra. And BOOOOMMM... I'm sold.
Wait, where's the proof for Netflix only going to be able to give a lower budget? Nobody knows that. Nobody knows whether it may give the show an even bigger budget. I would like for it to get back the FOX budget if it ever comes back. Give Chris Tyng back his orch, bring back the other writers if possible, and bring in the Ian Boothby guy. He writes arguably the best comics for the show ever. And I think he'd do a better job as a writer than Eric Rogers (Sorry man, but I like his comics more than your comics!). But even if it doesn't come back, I'll still be content with the 7 Seasons we already got. I do think that we got lucky with CC wanting to bring it back, because after all, I still think that they originally were only going to do this for the High-Ratings. But if it did come back though, I would only go as far as to say one more season if it came back. Maybe 2 if the first one did good. No point in letting it overrun itself though, you know? No matter how great it can be. Putting back on adult swim wouldn't be a bad idea. If it was for syndication only. I really wouldn't want AS to bother with Futurama. Idk, just a gut feeling inside me. I would love for them to air reruns in King of the Hill's timeslot. I don't think AS would even think about airing it in AD's timeslot. They already have Cleveland Show and Bob's Burgers doing that. And knowing AS, that isn't going to change any time soon. Also, let them run the FULL EPISODES, not the syndication ones.
