Originally posted by Venus: But if she DID turn out to be a mutant what do you think the collective reactions would be from both her and the crew? I agree with Tweek, regarding the PE crew. After an initial shock, they will settle down, and treat her pretty much the same. Fry will probably be the one least upset, since he is clearly one of the few people who is able to see past the whole eye-thing in the first place. Leela, would ofcourse be quite upset by the discovery. After believing for decades that you're an alien, it must be a heavy blow to discover the truth. But I suspect the joy of finally finding her "species" will triumph, after a short while. After all, she would then know where she belongs, and possibly meet a few relatives. Cute?

Sudden thought: the one-eyed thingies in the sewers don't necessarily have to be mutants. What if they're aliens, who came to Earth to try their luck and lost big? Having lost everything, with no way to return to their homeworld, they decide to give Turonga a second chance by leaving her at the orphanarium and took to the sewers in search of the mysterious sewer mutants, who would accept them, no questions asked. The reason that they didn't approach Leela was that although they recognized her as being from their race, perhaps they didn't recognize her as being their daughter and just didn't want to reveal the shame of having lost everything to another person of their race.
Wow, that took a lot shorter to write than it looks.

That's always a possibility, but that would still limit her practical isolation.

If you rely on a Matt Groening cartoon for 'warm fuzzies', then I think you need professional help (in a jovial way, naturally).

They've done that before, and still found ways to avoid the issue ("Bicyclops.." and "AOI II" ). I guess with a title like "Leela's Homeplanet" it pretty much restricts the possibilities of making a last-minute-twist.
I tend to agree with nasteve, solving this issue after only 3 seasons seems a bit quick.
But if it's going to happen, I think Nix' theory would be a nice middle road to take. Sort of gets the best of both worlds. She'll be alien, and related to the sewer-mutants from "I Second That Emotion".

Originally posted by McGrady: Probably a mutant... from mars. Fry was pretty insistant that Leela was from mars in the pilot script; not that it matters. So it was in the script but not in the pilot? Personally I would rather have some finalization now, seeing as the fate of the series is up in the air. If it was guaranteed to keep going, then I would much rather they keep her an alien and drop hints that she is a mutant, or is actually an alien. I don't know...this 'finalization' might be worse than you or I might imagine. The uncovering of Leela's past seems like the final finalization. With the series up in the air, it might be a sign of weakness to the buzzards who seem to be running Fox.
