Season 6 Goofs - SPOILERS ALERT

[Reply #520 on:]

Just noticed that the spacesuits that the crew wears in Cold Warriors have their radio microphones outside their helmets.  That's going to make it a bit hard to communicate...

I always thought that was on purpose.

actually it might not b a goof because soundwaves can't travel through a vaccuum, but it must not be a vaccum with that much snow, it would have a lot of atmosphere so it culd work

[Reply #521 on:]

Soundwaves propagate very poorly through a thin atmosphere, which is what they're in at best. Just because there's precipitation does not mean that there is any atmosphere to speak of.

Water ice sublimed from the surface would condense in thin clouds. These would then recrystallise as snowflakes. This is a mechanism that can occur in the absence of any atmospheric gases. It requires only a temperature gradient, as it is a function of the properties and phases of matter - not something that denotes an atmosphere.

In addition, please, for the love of Benjy, read this. Your disregard for the correct usage of quote tags, spelling, capitalisation, punctuation and science are somewhat painful to read through. Clicking the link and reading through the unofficial manual for PEEL will help. You'll learn how to fit into the community, and hopefully have a great time.

Making your posts readable is a large part of having a great time here.

If Bender has a self-destruct button on his body (A Head in the Polls), why does he go to use a Suicide Booth in Ghost in the Machines and a few other non-Season 6 eps?

[Reply #526 on:]

I'm going to guess that it's the same reason he even tries to commit suicide in the first place despite his back-up unit (that he believe to be in working order at the time): because he's a drama-queen.

He's the sort of character to attempt suicide as a bid for attention rather than a genuine desire to die.

[Reply #527 on:]

In "Benderama", the alien reveals his face and you hear Leela scream, but then it shows her staying still.

[Reply #528 on:]

I didn't know the human body had to move when it screams... Unless it's part of being a mutant...

[Reply #529 on:]

It's a little hard to explain what I saw. Watch the episode and you will see what I mean. It's right before Bender said: "Is that vanishing cream, cause that has to go away."

Plus in Mobius Dick, Bender puts the toilet paper roll over his eye, but it slides to the back. But Bender sees a circular shape, and his pupils are a square.

[Reply #530 on:]

Square pupils doesn't mean square vision...

We've seen what Bender sees multiple times anyway...

[Reply #531 on:]

Well, I admit I could be wrong. Still, why would he use the toilet paper roll if his vision was round? Oh well, guess we'll never no.

[Reply #532 on:]

He was probably pretending it was a telescope..

[Reply #533 on:]

I'd think so, Bender can have quite an imagination.

[Reply #534 on:]

Not 100% on this, but when the PE ship flies above the ice in TFHS, the reflection is wrong. The side view is right, but when it flies past the screen and we see it go off in the distance, the reflection is the right way up when it should be upside down.

[Reply #535 on:]

The Planet Express ship in Silence of The Clamps appears to have a thin front window, but form within the ship appears to be much wider.

[Reply #536 on:]

I noticed in the Commentary track for "Yo Leela Leela" that they changed the name of the Preschool in the Toddler Wrestling skit from "Macho Man" Randy Savage (who passed on earlier this year) to "Rowdy" Roddy Piper (who is alive... only dead on the inside).

[Reply #537 on:]

That's not a goof. It's more of a "did-you-know".

[Reply #538 on:]

I think that whole episode was a goof.

[Reply #539 on:]

I felt that way about That Darn Katz, at first.  It grew on me with repeated viewings.

[Reply #540 on:]

I didn't like it at first either. But I'm always open to a second opinion, and so I got more laughs out of the second viewing. I would say 8/10

[Reply #541 on:]

Same here. I think you need a cat to appreciate some of the cat-jokes.

[Reply #542 on:]

I thought that the way they spoofed all of the MEMEs was a little lame at first, but with second viewing I started to think that they pulled it off in a good way. I just didn't like the Cat's celebration with the dance.

[Reply #543 on:]

They only really made reference to memes once in the episode with that "must has cat" poster that you see for maybe a second, if that. How could that possibly be enough to make you dislike an episode?

I didn't like the cat-can-can either, though.

[Reply #544 on:]

"Dewicous Queem" and similar lines are references also.

[Reply #545 on:]

That's just baby-talk. People did that to cute things well before the internet existed.

[Reply #546 on:]

Well of course, that also includes cat videos and pictures. Lets just stop arguing.

So, in ATPH, if the Farnsworths became super rich after David Farnsworth assassinated George Washington, then why does Planet Express exist in the alternate future? Hubert created it to fund his research, but if he were a millionaire he obviously wouldn't need to.

[Reply #548 on:]

In Cold Warriors the PE ship clearly approaches the big quarantine at a fast rate. Then when it looks like it's about to hit, it cuts over to Kif and Zapp. This lasts about 5 seconds, then the quarantine is blasted open, and they go through. The timing was unreal, however.

Futurama often does this. It's best to assume that Zapp orders Kif to shoot them at the same time the PE crew attempt to shoot through the thin plastic wrap.

No I wasn't!

Where did all of the money Fry and Bender made selling popplers go? We shall never know. The characters stay poor because that's the only way to keep the existing dynamic intact.

[Reply #551 on:]

I always assumed the Professor misplaced the money made from the Popplers due to his incompetence.

[Reply #552 on:]

Or Bender loses it at the track.

Maybe he wanted a hobby ...

Maybe it was a hobby? Or he still thought it was worthwhile so that he'd essentially have a crew of people that could do his bidding whenever he needed them to?

EDIT: Curse the post above me.

[Reply #555 on:]

There's been a bunch of small goofs, like characters randomly changing positions in the same scene, but different angles.

I dunno ... Perhaps it might have been a hobby instead?

Alright, I think I get it...

Can we post continuity in here too? Because I am.

I like how Fry acts really mean to his robot self in Rebirth, which I thought was a nice callback to BBS where he acts like a dick to his paradox.

I believe Matt has said that whenever a character meets itself (Either through a paradox or duplicate) They always act like they hate each other for no reason (This happens in the Simpsons as well)
