Season 6 Goofs - SPOILERS ALERT

[Reply #120 on:]

Cartoon it might be, but continuity is one of my major buttons, and they pushed it!

I completely agree, the poodle is one of the main reasons I love Futurama, and I don't know if I'll ever get completely back from this. <7sarcasm>

But hey, solution! They THOUGHT the poodle was extinct, but then it was revealed it was not, but there was an entire poodle planet called Poodlus 5, where a poodle kidnapper took off in the 26th century. It was only discovered a few years back, and it was a giant news item, but it never took any place in the show. On the same planet they also found some cows and an anchiovy, and massive layers of Dark Matter.

Reset button officially pushed.

Or maybe it was wizards.

Space wizards? How dumb do you think I am?

Let's just say that I think I have a box of rocks more intelligent than you.

I thought, when he said the last ghost died hundreds of years ago, he was only referring to the ghosts in the castle they were staying in at the time...

I really don't think that was the intention. How would they know that the last ghost in this castle they'd never heard of had died hundreds of years ago? I just took it as a similar joke to Kent Brockman saying Leprechauns are extinct on The Simpsons.

And was I the only one who saw Mike Rowe's writing credit for this episode, then saw a joke about a ghost, and thought instantly of Gay Guy and the Ghost? Probably I was.

I think of Gay Guy and the Ghost every time ghosts come up in Futurama, Mike Rowe-related or not. But yeah, it reminde me of it too.

They seemed to know a few tidbits about the castle. I'm wondering if perhaps the lawyer gave them some info, or there was a nearby tourist information shop.

[Reply #126 on:]

If all of the ghosts in the world were dead and there were no more ghosts anywhere, wouldn't that suggest that people don't die anymore?

My point being, his line would actually make more sense if he were referring to the ghosts in the castle.

[Reply #127 on:]

It'd just imply that they don't come back as ghosts surely.

I think we're reading too far into a joke. Like I said, it was similar to the leprechaun line in The Simpsons. The joke is funny because ghosts don't die because they're already dead, the idea of them going extinct is funny.

Also,

Show spoiler

Flexo make an appearance in a garbage disposal, but is probably never going to be in future episoes, since he was dumped in The Third World.

But most of you already knew that.

Show spoiler

Bender finds out he suffers from manufacturing defect.

The poodle might be a replica dog breed. It is possible that someone might use selective breeding to get a new dog breed that resembles a poodle.

[Reply #130 on:]

I have an even more awesome explanation for why there was a Poodle. Remember at the end of Into The Wild Green Yonder when the Encyclopod was born?

[Reply #131 on:]

Hells yeah! Continuity error avoided!

[Reply #132 on:]

At one point when the crew is talking to Animatronio, (in the room with the Neptune statue) Bender is missing his door.

Maybe it was a labradoodle.

I was watching Lrrreconciliable Ndndifferences today and noticed this in the background.  It looks like the back half of a partially-painted PE ship. 



Yes, I am aware that this is not a goof, but I didn't think this deserved its own thread.

Haha, didn't notice that. Good one.

[Reply #136 on:]

A bit of topic, but have we ever seen the inside of that room that curves under the balcony? Is it a room?

That is interesting maybe its the remains of the crew from before the death by space bees crew.

[Reply #138 on:]

That would make sense. Maybe that's the remains of Captain Musky's ship.

[Reply #139 on:]

The room under the balcony is the Master Bedroom, under that is the Ultimate Room of Erotic Pleasure, under that is the Employee Lounge and Dr. Zoidberg's Office.

The ship rear has been there at least since Bender's Big Score.

Noticed two goofs in "The Mutants are Revolting". The first is less interesting. When Leela is dragged outside by Smitty and URL, there are flags on the building that aren't present in the earlier shot of the society building.

As for the second...


Then in the next shot...


It's the mysterious hair-eating top hat!

[Reply #141 on:]

Hair-eating top hat technology has come along way baby.

[Reply #142 on:]

Just noticed this on rewatching the Season 6 premiere "Rebirth."

Right after Fry asks the two fighting Leelas how he is supposed to tell them apart, there is a brief shot where Leela is drawn with two pupils in her eye, one focused on the robot Leela and one turning to look at Fry.

I've attached a screencap for proof:

[Reply #143 on:]

Don't worry, it's JAAG.

A nifty No-Prize if you guess what that means.

*waits for the silly answers*

[Reply #144 on:]

Apparently, the REAL Leela is mutating to have two eyes again.

[Reply #145 on:]

JAAG. . .

"Just Another Animated Goof?"

[Reply #146 on:]

I was thinking Animation, but that's close enough.

[Reply #147 on:]

Its a mutant thing.

[Reply #148 on:]

Don't you people see?  That dot on Leela #2's eye is supposed to be a dot where the gun is aiming!  That's what it is.   Leela's meant to have one eye, she'll never have two. 

[Reply #149 on:]

All I see is that you're an idiot.

It's clearly been said that... you know what. Forget it.

[Reply #150 on:]

Well the angle of the gun does not seem like it is in line with the dot. I am going with, its a mutant thing.

[Reply #151 on:]

 And what sort of beam would produce a dark dot anyway?

[Reply #152 on:]

My Dark Laser gun.

[Reply #153 on:]

A laser that produces the absence of color.

[Reply #154 on:]

Exactly...

[Reply #155 on:]

My Dark Laser gun.

Ah, a DASER.
That is, Dark Amplification by...  never mind...
I'll just... ooze... back out under the door now,,,

[Reply #156 on:]
