How I always gathered time travel working is that you change what happened in the past. For instance, Enos did impregnate Mildred the first time around. That led to Fry's mother(?) then to Fry himself.
When Fry goes back, he accidently erases what previously happens and, in the universe snapping back in on itself, puts Fry in the situation to impregnate his Grandmother. In that sense, it'd be as if Fry was his own grandfather all along, although that's not technically the case.
Another example is the Nibbler shadow in SP3000. First, it's only Nibbler in the Cryogenics Lab. Nibbler tosses Fry into the tube, Fry is frozen and unthawed in 3000. Later, when Fry goes back in time (again), he then is there with Nibbler in 1999. Fry's being there erases the previous past. That's why Fry isn't there in the shadows the first time, but is there the second time around. The SP3K was the "first" time, and "TWoF" is the "re-do" of that situation.
Alright, it might not make a lot of sense, but that's how I've thought of it.

His brothers legs did, but then it all went ok....until the sequel muhahahaha, where they went to the future and the 80's cafe and then Griff started chasing Marty on A hoverboard. It sorta turned out ok until when the Delorian was flying and then struck by lightning which lead them going to the old west in the next sequel.... Spielberg: "I want more money!" Wait a minute whats this topic about again.

The easiest way to understand something like this is to make a personal Time line. In around 1974 Fry was borne (assuming he was 25 in 1999)to the son of Mildred who was said to be fathered by Enos (to be a single mother in 1947 wasn't an acceptable thing to do. But a widowed mother on the other hand...)containing a genetic anomaly that causes him to lack delta brainwaves and therefore makes him immune to the Brain Spawn. Detecting this, the Nibblonians track his life and find the perfect point to Freeze him in order for him to be alive in 3003/3004 in order to destroy the Brainspawn's Info-Sphere. In the first seconds of January 1st of 2000 this happens and Fry sits in Cryo Storage until the morning of December 31st 2999. Things happen that get us to "Roswell That Ends Well" in what 3002? Fry travels back to 1947. Kills Enos and then impregnates Mildred with his own father. Who would contain 1/2 of Fry's DNA. Fry returns to 3002 and continues on. Defeating the infosphere with the Scooty-Puff Sr. (since the stuff with fry and nibbler in 1999 didn't happen because the scooty-puff Jr. was improved in the first place. And technicaly everything past planting the bomb on the infosphere didn't actualy happen to Fry) and he continues on untill "The Devil's Hands..." thank you FOX. mean while after Fry returns to 3002, Fry's father is borne and eventualy impregnates Fry's mother, and presumably Mildred's side of their genetics is passed onto Yancey. Then Fry's father impregnates Fry's mother with what would presumably be the exact 1/2 of his genetic make up that was Fry's, and his mother supplied the same 1/2 that Fry himself actually had. And we return to the begining. With Fry having the exact same Genome as Himself. A nice closed temporal inevitability. Does that make anything clearer? edit: image  |
