To be honest, I ran over a few possible ways in my head that that episode could have ended, and I came to the conclusion that what we saw was probably the best. Consider:
-Seymour is resurrected and reunited with Fry
Nice, but this would seriously mess up the Fry/Bender relationship, and it would always be awkward to deal with in future episodes
-Seymour is resurrected, but becomes superintelligent and is thrown into the sun
Silly, but according to the commentary, the writers were actually considering this. This, in my opinion, would have been MUCH worse than what they went with.
-Seymour gives up on Fry, and gets on with his life
Probably the best of the ideas mentioned, but it does kinda leave a feeling of "so what" in the audience (well, me, anyway). This probably wouldn't have the same emotional impact as the ending they chose.
Just some pontificating on my part. Feel free to criticize.

I think we should just take it as is, one really sad futurama episode. Any fooling around with it now would dimish the effect. Who says every story has to end hapily anyways?

If Fry and Seymore were reunited in the 31st century in a later episode it would cheapen the ending of "Jurassic Bark", and that would be a crime against humanity Futurama.
But don't worry, they'll see each other in hell!!! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha... Or heaven, depending on mitigating circumstances.

I agree with Teral on this one. In my opinion, part of what made "Jurassic Bark" so great was the fact that the writers went for the drama, not the quick fix. Really, bringing Seymour back would just be...wrong. For one, the brilliant ending would be cheapened, as would Fry's emotional, "I'll never forget him, but he forgot me a long, long time ago." (one of my favorite lines, period) Actually, to tell you the truth, if they ever brought Seymour back, JB would no longer be my #2 episode of all time ("Godfellas" slightly outdoes it...but not by much).

Congratulations to the genius who wrote that episode and had a 6'2", 244 lbs, 31 yr old, tattooed man crying like a little boy, which NEVER happens. That was the saddest thing I've seen in a long time. I can barely look at the stupid icon I picked. Anywho, wow! Please, bring him back. We need closure.

Nice, but this would seriously mess up the Fry/Bender relationship, and it would always be awkward to deal with in future episodes I agree, and to add- I think that Bender being jealous/moody over Fry's other friendships doesn't "fit" his character well. I might be wrong, but I, Roommate didn't fit in with the cranky, sarcastic robot he usually is.
