How do you think they will end the series?

I think they will end the series by having leela and fry get married than have a baby.

From a recent interview:

Groening is more sanguine. "We certainly feel creatively fulfilled. In the past, we felt like we were canceled before our time, but this time we feel like we had a really good run, and this is a great last season and builds to a great final episode, which I'm very proud of. David Cohen describes it as a very romantic war-fest, and he's absolutely right. You see all of your favorite characters die, and some of your favorite characters find love. And as alarming as that might sound, it's very sweet."

Die?

"Well, when I say 'die' — there is such a thing as time travel, you know."

[Reply #2 on:]

Married?

Yes.

Baby?

Doubtful.


They probably would have gotten there if the show had run for a few more seasons, though I think it'd be more likely that we'd see it in a flash-forwards to the future or in some other form such as their backwards-time-traveller son concept that David X. Cohen has mentioned a few times.

Everyone dies!...with sexy results.

As long as Fry ends up happy and Zoidberg finds success I'll be satisfied.

I do think a Leela and Fry wedding is quite likely but anything's possible.

"Futurama, it seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and the fox starts throwing cancellations at you."

This thread already exists, by the way. It's perhaps not in the right place (the HR dept), but this thread should probably be merged into that one.

In other words, death by snoo-snoo?

"Everyone dies with sexy results" sounds rather like "Snoo Snoo after death".
Though I am pretty sure they will not go for that plot.

[Reply #9 on:]

"Snoo Snoo after death" - That doesn't sound so horrible, when it's said like that.

Zoidberg doesn't work that way!

ZOOOOOOOOOOIDBERG!....with death by snu-snu sexy results. I'll be deeply sad if that doesn't happen.

Fry will awake up in 1999 at the pizza place and realize that he dreamed the whole thing.

[Reply #12 on:]

I think Fry and Leela will actually see their wedding through the time travel device, and it will actually be the same wedding from "TKOS".

And at some point everything gets frozen in time, except those in the time 'shelter' rock. And Fry makes Leela a swing out of frozen characters at some point.

I'm guessing everyone (PE CREW) gets to see different points in their entire lives as well.

I thought about this too. But this would just be depressing.

They wouldn't do that to us!!! But I can see him going back somehow, but not the dream thing.

[Reply #15 on:]

I'd find that hilarious, to be honest. But sad endings make me happy, so, yeah.

[Reply #16 on:]

I'm going to rip someone's head of if they do that. (not really ^^)

They end up killing everyone in the universe, jep, that's definately it.

[Reply #17 on:]

That will also be acceptable.

No, that's an AWFUL Idea!

Actually, Matt Said it would have a satisfying ending

AoI machine, and then the professor looks back and says... so that's what would happen if I had more excitement in my life, then he takes a nap as zoidberg tucks him in.

Wait a minute... that "episode" might already exist.

bad ending: Bender pushes Fry off a ledge, but bender falls into lava, while accidentally shutting his power off, Leela kills herself, Professor dies of Old Age, Roberto kills URL, Amy, Hermes, Zapp and Kif, and Nukes New New York City and the Nimbus.

Meanwhile Act I and II WAS REVEALED AT COMIC CON

[Reply #27 on:]

Destroyer, it might be a good idea to put that in "spoilers" in case somebody that wants to be completely surprised about the finale comes to this thread. 

[Reply #28 on:]

Show spoiler

The episode finds Fry (West), Leela (Sagal) and Bender (John DiMaggio) making a delivery to the moon and visiting a theme park. After a ride accident, Leela seemingly dies.

Luckily, all is well. She was trapped inside a stuffed animal. Really. The close call was too much for Fry to handle, and he announces to Bender that he's going to finally propose to Leela.

Meanwhile, Professor Farnsworth (West) invents a device that lets him travel 10 seconds into the past. Naturally, he uses it to steal money from Zoidberg. What else will you do with 10 seconds? Fry takes the time machine to steal diamonds, along with Bender.

He uses the stolen diamonds to fashion an engagement ring, which he hides in a clam. When he presents it to Leela, she reaches for the ring and the clam snaps shut, severing her hand and a bloody stump.

Next, Groening presents the second act of the finale, completely finished. Fry still has the time traveling decide and uses it to go back and save Leela from losing her hand. He proposes and tells Leela to meet him on top of the Vampire State Building if she'll marry him. When he thinks Leela misses the time she was supposed to meet him, Fry takes that as a no to the proposal and jumps from the top of the building.

However, he sees Leela approaching the building as the building as he falls and realizes that his clock is wrong due to all the time-traveling. He tries to go back and save himself by using the device, but ten seconds before, he's still falling from the building. He keeps himself in a time loop, reliving those ten seconds over and over until he loses his grip on the device and hits the ground in front of Leela, leaving a pile of blood and guts at her feet.

Oh my God
Act III wasn't revealed yet

[Reply #29 on:]

Please, edit your post, and put these inside the spoilers. (The red icon next to the speach bubble on the far right...?)

[Reply #30 on:]

Are the last two episodes of season 7 actually a two parter? Been avoiding as much spoilers as I can but from what I've read, Meanwhile is it's own episode? It's just that The Infosphere says its a two part episode.

[Reply #31 on:]

No-one is really sure about that, it was the same with 7a. That was ''supposed'' to be a twoparter as well, but in the end it wasn't. I personally don't think it will.

Roberto? I thought he is already dead, even his brain is melted in "The Six Million Dollar Mon"
Also, please don't double posting Use edit instead

I've read nothing to indicate that it's a two parter. From what's been revealed, episode 25 has its own plot (not to mention a guest star whose role is confined strictly to that one episode) seperate to 26, and there's been no word that 26 will be extended in length or anything.

[Reply #34 on:]

There were claims it would be a two parter on the infosphere, but not any sourches.

[Reply #35 on:]

I think it's just bad phrasing. They're two separate episodes with two separate storylines, but they were both going to air together as a double episode finale at one point (much like 30th Century Fox and Naturama did last year). That plan has now been scrapped and they'll be airing on August 28 and September 4 respectively.

Not to mention the cast did a table read of the first act or two of "Meanwhile" at Comicon. I doubt they'd have done that if it was part 2 of a two parter.

The person that said Roberto died, use spoiler tags please! Not had season 7 here in the uk yet!

A lot of us live in the UK and are up to date with the show, I suggest you watch online like the rest of us, otherwise you're gonna see lots of spoilers.

[Reply #38 on:]

Planning on importing the USA volume 7 blu ray anyway, as its region A and B, and hopefully volume 8 will be the same and I can get up to date. Sorry to annoy you Danny!
EDIT
Also, I did watch season 6 and some of season 7 online but certain Internet issues mean I had to stop.

You did not.
