Do you think that as the last episode ends, the creators will put up some captions explaining what happens to everyone, ala Animal House.
Maybe something like: Afterwards Fry and Leela eventually etc., or Professor Farnsworth defeated Wernstrom on the Galactic Gladiators show, or, Zoidberg good naturedly put up with Hermes jabs for another year. Then, a year after that, he snapped and went on one of the most horrific crime sprees of the 31st century, what became known later as The New New York Chainsaw massacre
(Sorry, I just picked up TXCM on dvd today, and when I watched it, this image of Zoidberg acting like Leatherface at the movies end popped into my head)
