If one male is a jerk then surely they all must be. We are all the same after all.

All people are jerks; male, female or alien. Fry doesn't really try to hide it though. Isn't that something people want in a significant other? Someone honest? Originally posted by jle1993: I keep getting guys who cheat on me, so I can relate to Leela like that. I've never understood this 'cheating' thing. If someone doesn't just want to be with one person - don't be with anybody. I would have thought it simple. They should just say "Hey, I'm not interested in a stable relationship with you or anything, because next week I'll probably meet someone else I'll like, and then I'll probably move on from them a week after that so..y'know." See, honesty. Surely it'd work...

Ha, this somewhat mirrors Cale Black's oafish comparison of political ideologies at the end of my novel: “Ha.” Black rolled his eyes. “Commies, Capitalists, they’re all arseholes just the same as each other, just the Reds are usually more honest about it...You're channelling me.

I know nothing about human relationships except that they're all built on a solid framework of complete misunderstanding.

You are indeed learning, Grasshopper. A Relationship = the continuous process of clearing up a jillion misunderstandings, one or two at a time....

Leela: Bender, dating your co-worker and primary mode of transportation is immoral, illogical and a violation of interstellar shipping statute 437-B. Bender: That's what makes it so nasty! Leela: Still, given the chance, I'd give in to urges far more shocking.
....Now, what did she mean by that?

Wouldn't we all like to know!  And on the fuss vs gain ratio, did I mention that the "gain" side of a Relationship is laughter, fun, compantionship, and (assuming we're talking Romantic Relationships) sex? Doesn't seem "minimal" to me, but I guess we're just two different people...

I have lots of laughter and fun on my own. Companionship is torture to me, and sex... well... there are other ways of getting that.
Fry did look turned on by the PE ship... and then later he was aroused by watching Amy cleaning the PE ship (girl-on-girl action). Heh heh...
The last scene of that episode is rather sweet and incredibly shippy until ZoidFUCKERberg ruined it. Leela's comment re: 'urges far more shocking'... could it have been about Fry?

I'll go one better and tie their faces together so they can't STOP kissing. That's what my unit did to a couple of CIA men over in Eritria. Heh heh...

Yes, short-term oxygen deprivation does not render a person unable to walk unaided for any prolonged period. Leela would know that. They were both play-acting because they wanted to touch each other.

Ha, that married couple at the beginning annoy the hell out of me. Why does TV keeping showing episodes I just watched on DVD the day before? They just skipped the last few season 3 eps and went into Love and Rocket. "Does that dummy have a brother?"  “I’m not impressed by a guy’s message Fry; I’m impressed by the guy.” Hey, Fry’s a dummy, and a guy, and he is/was a brother. Here, pictures –   Yeah, they’re doing that on purpose. *nods*

I agree that Leela did love Fry, she just didn't know how to handle her feelings. Someone with a past like hers -being rejected by her parents and brought up in an orphanage- would make her insecure about love and relationships and she wouldn't want to get close to someone she truly cares about (Fry) because she'd think he would reject her like her parents did. Fry truly cares about her and she knows that; it scares her but she wouldn't admit she was scared. For Leela it would be far easier to make out she's not interested in someone than letting herself love them. I reckon her comment about her urges is definitely about Fry, it's got to be! This is probably all been mulled over already, but I'm new and it's just my shippy two pence worth!

No worries Stez. You're right. And welcome aboard. The pay here is crap, but the working conditions are pretty sweet - just be sure to put some coins in the tin when you make yourself coffee.

Which reminds me - how did you go about downloading 'Leela' off Kidnapster in that blank ACME inflatable doll The last scene of that episode is rather sweet and incredibly shippy until ZoidFUCKERberg ruined it. I saw L&R for the first time (I waited on purpose to see it on TV) - it was excellent... Fry's sacrifice and the U Leave me Breathless candyheart should bloody have melted Leela's heart and doubts. Come on, what more could you expect from a guy? (well, girls ??) I guess, the storyline was that they should not kiss or hook up, so Zoidberg was sent in, in a kamikadze mission, knowing all shippers will want to disembowel him (not that he would care). The last scene was more than an impulse - in real life they would've kissed afterwards anyway I would say. But the management decided to continue torturing the shippers and so was against it. Leela's comment re: 'urges far more shocking'... could it have been about Fry? I really really can't decide. 'Given the chance'? Were there no chances to give in to urges? Or rather were the chances not synchronized with Leela's urges? (how dare they - hehe). Maybe it was only meant-to-be-funny-slash-intriguing remark...but by all means, let's hope it was about Fry

Ther've been plenty of times when they were about to snog and something happened to prevent them. The Titanic hits a comet, Santa Claus fires a missile at them, etc...

Companionship is torture...? Okay, I'm fairly antisocial, and have met people even MORE antisocial, some of whom are as close as one can get to developing "adult autism" without there actually being any such thing for them to develop. But THAT'S a new one on me! Though perhaps you just haven't fallen in with "the right crowd" for you, yet. I was a loner who was bored by people for most of my youth, until I went to an advanced high school full of freaks, geeks, nerds and fans, and suddenly, it was FUN to hang out and talk with others, and others actually wanted to talk to me. I had found My People. Here's hoping you find your own People...at least to give it a try. And I TOTALLY pause on the half-carry thing in L&R. Likewise I adore that three seconds when Leela realizes what's happened, just before she kicks into action and starts CPR...for a second, she just panics, her hands just sort of waving helplessly in mid-air. Of course she pulls it together fairly quickly, but I love that our ever-capable Leela has a couple of beats of pure, useless panic. Yes, I'm a bit of a sick puppy. Deal with it.

People just annoy me. I'm over it.
Leela's moments of panic are always cute because they're coming from someone who is, as you say, so capable. Contrast always adds poigniancy. Like when a selfish and apparently amoral character (like Bender) turns around and does something noble.
