I was reading Kurt's goodbye message and he brought this idea up and and I thought it could actually be kinda fun. But since Kurt's no long here to make it, I figured I'd start the thread up. The idea is pretty much just to try and make cohesive Futurama episodes out of these ideas that were mentioned by writers in the past. Bender Steals God's Greatest Treasure Calculon Haunts the Theatre Backwards Time Traveling Son (I think this one would be really hard) All Zapp Episode I'm aware that this project could be very hard and might end up going nowhere, but I think it could actually be cool if done properly. If anyone has any scenes you think could work with any of these primises, episode titles or characters you'd like to see appear in them be sure to post them and I (or whoever else wants to) can tey to weave into the final product. I'm excited to see how this will end up!

It'd be nice to have a follow-on arc, if this happened. Something like this... Bender Steals God's Greatest Treasure Calculon annoys the Robot Devil so much that he gets kicked upstairs to Robot God's place. Robot God arranged with the Robot Devil for Bender to "steal" Calculon's soul, in order for Bender to become the greatest robot criminal ever and allow both Robot God and the Robot Devil to be free of Calculon, wash their hands of Bender in the event that Bender dies again, and allow Calculon to haunt his favourite theatre once this ridiculously circuitous plot wraps up.Calculon Haunts the Theatre Calculon's ghost now roams the theatre where Fry takes Leela on the date of their second anniversary of exiting the time loop from Meanwhile. Fry and Leela decide to catch it and contain it, when it interrupts the play they're watching, but end up driving it into a live powerline, which destroys it utterly (and plunges NNY into a blackout). In the darkness, Fry and Leela decide to get it on. Unable to see in the dark, Fry is confused by his futuristic Super Condom, and Leela becomes pregnant. Due to new regulations regarding mutants and their offspring, Leela is unable to terminate the pregnancy and must bear Fry's child.
The next episode deals with Leela's pregnancy, and Fry's utter ineptitude as he prepares for fatherhood. When the baby is born, both of them are relieved that it appears perfectly normal.Backwards Time Traveling Son Fry and Leela are amazed when their new son ages to manhood overnight, and less amazed once they realise that the Professor exposed him to a massive burst of chroniton radiation. In order to fix this, he must be aged backwards whilst travelling forwards in time, meaning that he will have his first thirty birthday parties in reverse order. Unfortunately, this also means that by the time he's thirty, he's also only a day old and will need to be switched with his prematurely-aged past self in order to get to grow up normally. Naturally, nobody but he will be able to remember this, leading to Fry and Leela being amazed when their son who was aged to manhood overnight is a baby again by lunchtime. They suspect Farnsworth, but can't prove a thing (which is fine with Farnsworth, as he doesn't remember any of it).
But less lame. Written by somebody better at this than me, in other words.

This is the plot that amuses me the most. Hope they use it if they return. But actually, Fry is biologically almost 40 years old. Sad to hear that Kurt is leaving, but it's probably just another long PEELcation.

But actually, Fry is biologically almost 40 years old. Yes. What does this have to do with the plot of that episode? I said thirty in connection with Fry and Leela's son, not with Fry (and male age is not necessarily a barrier to fatherhood).

I would say P.J. sounds fitting, seems pretty obvious... I would call this episode: "Back to the Fry-ture."
Pretty stale, anyone got anything better?

"The Literal Phantom of the Opera" seems nice.
