Fry/Leela getting together

[Reply #200 on:]

Leela and Fry should get together  they really are made for each other.

[Reply #201 on:]

Well, this was a nice trip down memory lane. Now for my future self to say something about this. I'm no longer as strong a shipper as I was. I've allowed myself to become neutral. I've done this for a few reasons. First, with the show ending, I won't be quite so devasted as the huge shippers if they don't get together.

Second, I've seen what certain eps. can do to shippers and they might not bounce back. I don't want to lose reality like some people I know. I'm not naming names.

Third, I'm a writer. The show can live on through us. That's one good thing about the show ending. Once it does, there's no reason for Fox to try to shut down sites. I could be wrong, but why would Fox waste money suing for copyright infrigement on a dead show?

So long as there are fans, there is a "show," and so long as there is a "show," there's all the hope in the world for our favorite couple(s). 

[Reply #202 on:]

Well, FOX (I assume) will still own syndacation rights, being able to sell it to CN already and maybe others in the future.  SO there's a reason.

Put a clip of Kirk and Spock on your web site and see how long it is before Paramount sics their lawdogs on you.   

Buuuuuuuuuut I don't think they can do squat about Fanfics, as long as your not selling novels or anything.

[Reply #203 on:]

No, they can't. Technically, they fall under parody-rule. Hell, it's actually illegal to tape a show, but people do it anyway. If I wanted to sell novels, I'd probably have to get permission from them. Wouldn't that be cool if they did? Point in case, there are novels based on shows. Whether or not they were fans or writers for the show I don't know.

[Reply #204 on:]

FOX at one point tried to include fanart under copyright infringement, maybe they'll try fanfics the next time.

I don't see them getting away with it, but that wont stop them from trying. I mean, it's FOX we're talking about here.

[Reply #205 on:]

As far as I can tell, basically whether it's copyright infringement is how much spare time the company's lawyers have on their hands. I have this theory that after FOX became "acceptable", all their lawsuit lawyers were out of a job, so they set them upon fansites  .

[Reply #206 on:]

Doesn't sound like a good use of company resources. Have any company ever made any money, from suing fansites?

FOX have clearly lost their wits, they should sue CN for promoting Futurama  instead. I mean, CN is basically sabotaging FOX's carefully laid, and éxecuted, plan to burry Futurama. I bet they're might miffed about that.

Sad, but true...

[Reply #210 on:]

I think they should get together permenently but only right at the end of the last series   

[Reply #211 on:]

I do believe that they will get together. Although I love Leela and don't want her to but she is a cartoon chracter!

[Reply #212 on:]

mmm.  15-3-24...

[Reply #213 on:]

I bet £1000 that thay'll get together

[Reply #214 on:]

I bet one million pounds that I want them to get together.

[Reply #215 on:]

I wish they'd get together.

[Reply #216 on:]

Hey, there's all these petitions to bring back the series... Maybe someone could start a petition to Matt to bring Fry and Leela together!

[Reply #217 on:]

They're married in Universe B

[Reply #218 on:]

They are? Where's that? I know about Universe 1...
But I want them to be together in Universe A too... 
Anyone up for making a petition?

[Reply #219 on:]

I doubt it would do much good, and I don't think Futurama would be as funny if they were together. However much I want it to happen, I don't think it should.

Still, that's what fan-fics are for, eh?

[Reply #220 on:]

I personally doubt that 'Futurama' will come back for as a series, but I am confident in the movies. And if Matt has to end the series, then at least he should give the fans (a. k. a., shippers) what they want. They could wrap Fry and Leela up right at the end of the final movie, finally ending the teasing they've been putting us through.

[Reply #221 on:]

That really does depend then doesn't it? I mean they'd be buggered if they did three movies and said:
"Right lads, that’s it!” only to have someone come along to say:
"erm, actually, could you do another series?".

I'm quietly optimistic about a new series, and I get the impression Matt is to. This leads me to believe that if they want closure, it won't be until they have bumped out all the dents of hope ever involved in remaking the show.

Awww, I made myself sad. 

[Reply #222 on:]

I do understand that there is some risk involved. But hey, if they have a new series after the movies, they could make it a 'Newlyweds' spoof, at least partially!

And even if they don't, so what if Fry and Leela are together? It's not like everything's going to be that different. They could call the new series 'Futurama II', after that exhibit at the 1964 Worlds Fair.

[Reply #223 on:]

I guess.

But its just that so much of the humour comes from Leela being desperate and Fry being emotionally clumsy (is that even a term? Reguardless, I'm sure you know what I mean).

I suppose we'd get a few laughs out of them being together. I just feel that if they were to, its a slippery slope to bad-sitcom-ville.

[Reply #224 on:]

I understand completely. But the show has to end sometime, and when it does, I hope they know what we're expecting.
You'll notice how 'The Devil's Hands Are Idol Playthings' had an ending that could be extrapolated into any direction the fan wanted. Perfect for the series, because Matt realized it was probably just a temporary stop. But when they finally go for the big conclusion...

What can I say? I'm a shipper.

[Reply #225 on:]

Heck, I'm a shipper too. And thats why I love the tension between them.

I'm both dreading and looking forward to the conclusion.

As for TDHAIP, did you notice how the holophoner started playing well again as the credits cut in? So, was that Fry playing?  Ah ha! The mind rape begins!

[Reply #226 on:]

I saw him playing moderately well. Maybe Leela was inspiring him again like in 'Parasites Lost'.
I also like the tension, but I also eventually want it brought to it's end. In fact, some of the sadder shippier episodes actually made me cry. 'Parasites Lost' not so much, because there was a tad bit of hope at the end...

[digression]
Then again, 'Leela's Homeworld' made me cry almost non-stop for a week! I'm not exaggerating, either. To this day, whenever I hear that song, I start crying again.

Leela always rejects him! and eachother,relasionships Maybe you should learn to fucking spell before you go judging other people   

[Reply #231 on:]

She doesn't always reject him.  What about the ending to The Why of Fry, or the conclusion of The Farnsworth Parabox?

[Reply #232 on:]

But what about the much better endings of Parasites Lost and Time Keeps On Slippin' she rejects him

Woah. N00b flamewar. I'll be right back, I'm getting some popcorn... 

[Reply #234 on:]

I wasn't arguing that she's never rejected him, just that she doesn't always reject him.

And "better" is a matter of opinion. :P

Why does everyone take his side???

Because your side contains someone who insults people, gives      's,
YELLS THE SAME LAME ARGUMENTS OVER AND OVER!!!!!!
and otherwise behaves like a spoiled six-year old. 

Who'd want to side with that?

[Reply #237 on:]

He (I'm assuming PLL is a he) is a spoiled six-year old
