Yeah - where did you get that he was 25, out of interest? Logically he must be older - lets say Dwight is the same age as Cubert (12, I think, but correct me if I'm wrong) - Hermes would have been been only thirteen himself when Dwight was conceived.

Hermes is married, and have a son. Dwight looks around 13-14, so Hermes is propbably in his early 40's. I t would make him 20-25 in the clip, much more likely for a young athlete.
The only PE crew we know the age of with 100% certainty is Bender (4) and Farnsworth (162).

Isn't Fry's age certain? I think it comes up on the screen Leela's typing on in SP3K as 25 - I don't know if it's come up in later seasons. I know it probably doesn't count because it's an external reference, but Matt Groening has always maintained that Fry is 25.

Sorry Hil - I didn't see your post, so I just pretty much repeated what you said!

I checked SP3K, and the screen is too blurry that I can make it out, but it could be 25.
Ofcourse, this is only going by the show. If you included what Matt have said in interviews, Fry is 25 in SP3K.

The character guide at CGEF says that Hermes is 25, but that can't be right, for reasons stated above.
In "My Three Suns," Leela says Fry is 25.

When does she say that? The only thing I can remember about *Leela*'s age is that she's a bit older than Fry. In 2ACV02 (Brannigan, Begin Again) she says "I don't want to die at the age of 25" and Bender says something along the lines of "Unless we hit a time-warp I wouldn't worry." Anyone? Hil - I will next time! Teral - I had a look and sharpened up a screenshot in Photoshop - I'm almost positive he's 25. He's bloodgroup B and full name is Phillip J Fry. It's also got the dates of his "time in stasis" but I can't remember them off the top of my head, and I'm on a different computer.

This is going in a slightly different direction but if you want to be really picky and look for other Hermes plot holes in a Flight to Remember, consider this... In the scene where the gang are running down a corridor as the ship is 'sinking' they get stuck as the door comes down. Hermes has to limob under the gap. But surely it would be easier to just crawl under normaly! And since it is easier to crawl through why get Hermes to do it, he's not exactly the slimmest member of the gang. Get Leela or Fry to do it. Oh yeah, here's an even better way of getting through the door. In the episode How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back Bender showed he can quite easily walk through a door very similar to the one on the Titanic. I know these points are meaningless, the way the problems are actually solved in the episodes have a better dramatic effect or comedy value, I'm just saying they don't hold up to much analysing.

At one point soon after he becomes emperor she says "Does anyone else think it's odd that a 25 year old shiftless delivery boy could drop out of the sky, kill the emperor, and be rewarded instead of punished?" "Leela's Homeworld" establishes that she's in her 20s, so if she was lying about her age, it was only by a few years, which seems kind of pointless. And then she apparently gets younger after "Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles," so... just say she's about the same age as Fry, it's easier.

Oh yes, now I remember! Thankies Action! I haven't seen either of those later episodes, so... I just like the joke in My Three Suns where Fry says "I was delivering things before you were born. I think I know what I'm doing." It just made me laugh that he was doing things before she was born when she's actually physically older than him.

Amy is younger than 25 in "The Series Has Landed". She's an engineering intern, and still attend university in "Mars U". I'll estimate her at around 20, maybe 21 in episode 2. Hermes is definetely in his early 40's. In "Brannigan Begin Again" Leela say she don't want to die at the age of 25, Bender say that would be impossible unless they hit a timewarp, indicating Leela is older than 25 at that point. Not much older mind, maybe even a bit younger. Nah, screw it. She was 26 in the pilot.

Case in point: Farnsworth.
"A Clone Of My Own": 160 years
"Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles": 161 years

The time frame in Futurama goes by at the same rate as real time. Season 1 is set in the year 3000, and by Season 4 it's the year 3004. In the season 3 episode (production season) Roswell That Ends Well, when they are going back in time there is a shot of a digital calender on the ship rapidly going backwards, but I starts at 3003.

Actually it start at September 21st 3002.
It would correspond nicely with the 2 Xmas episodes we've seen until then. "Xmas Story" = Xmas 3000 and "A Tale Of Two Santas" = Xmas 3001.
Looks like someone at Curiosity Company look out for these kinds of things. We should make him contact Braga/Berman and kick some continuity into their skulls.
