Futurama Cancelled

[Corrderio]

Wow that was fast...

[Kaisha]

Well that's awesome. Net died mid-download, and given it's one of those shitty services I had to start from scratch. Firefox crashes shortly after I start the second attempt. Reload browser, Oh whoops! I apparently just used my hourly limit even though I barely even downloaded the bloody thing. FML

Be back in an hour. >.>

[EDIT] Speak of the devil, torrent finally up on eztv, time to get some reliable downloadin' going.

[Kaisha]

I just have to ask, what kind of communities are you visiting to get links on such short notice?

Thanks for them at any rate, trying Deposit files since the torrent still needs seeders at this point in time to get a respectable speed.

Aaaand we finally got our professor back.

Great episode with a lot of good random humour, although I have to say the general

Spoiler: show

Da Vinchi shit

has been kinda overdone lately, but it was worth it just

to hear the professor squeal like a girl.

[Krandor]

Probably my favorite episode yet of the new season, the Professor was spot on in this one

Hermes "Didn't we used to be a delivery company?"

Best new episode so far, I approve.

[Scythiroth]

Fry trying to nail in a nail with a nail....twice, was hilarious. And I was glad to see the professor much more in character this episode. Favorite episode of the season so far.

Oh no, I don't have big bones! I'm just fat!

morbo was done poorly

[Null]

Poorly? MORBO WILL DESTROY YOU! I thought he was great. Great way to open up the episode, all though it didn't add much to the episode. We already know Fry is an idiot. Just that this episode was going to somehow make him out to be an even bigger one. I trust this season won't go the way of family guy and take characters to extreme one dimensional traits.

[Qalbert]

yeah that did bother me a bit was just how dumb they made Fry in this one. He's always been kind of stupid but this one seemed almost too exaggerated. Still a great episode though.

[Yabby]

Best ep yet, some any great one liners that had me rolling.

[Krandor]

Yeah I had no problem with Morbo, seemed par for the course with me. Outside of the nail thing Fry wasn't coming off any dumber then usual to me, seemed about right for a guy who's his own grandfather.

Aside from when he had worms, Fry has been pretty consistently stupid and has, on more than one occasion, shown extreme stupidity. Unlike, say, Homer Simpson who went from authority figure/voice of morality (he tried to sell their television and get the family therapy in an early episode) to perfect blend of honest stupidity, to negligently and unbelievably stupid. Futurama has kept Fry as a pretty consistent character which is why I feel the show remains funny. The Simpsons is as good as how Homer is written. The dumber he's become, the dumber the rest of the cast has become.

Anyone got a screencap of bender vs squid (guns part)?

You are mystical and magical.

Yeah, after viewing the episode a second time, I'm pretty confident to say Fry wasn't particularly out of character. They played up his stupidity a bit more than usual, but it was central to the plot of the episode so it was par for the course. The ending is what sealed the deal that it was perfectly in character, where he somehow comes up with an eloquently delivered piece of sage wisdom regarding the situation to great effect. That's a very common element to Fry's character.

The professor still doesn't feel quite right, but I guess it was better here than in previous episodes. He's just not senile, or just plain old enough for my liking. In the past, he may have gone on an adventure like this, but probably not without tremendously more old jokes (him taking naps or getting distracted for example), or at least getting more genuinely confused moments. The part where he gets sent through the contraption and ends up on the chair utterly confused was a perfect example, but unfortunately a very isolated one. Still, he's getting better, and the totality of the episode was still amazing; the story was very good and I'm really satisfied with pretty much every other character in their current incarnation.

The only other minor exception is Amy, but it wasn't noticeable in this episode. It was in last week's though and seems to be in the preview for next week. I don't know when she became this slutty all of the sudden, it was never that central to her character. She was easy in the past (before Kif), but not without poorly veiled shame and rarely around the coworkers. After Kif, she pretty much removed that part of her personality, period. They only brought it back slightly when Kif died in the movie, and then when the new seasons started she was just completely different (despite them reconciling their relationship). Tbh, I don't really care that much, she doesn't get the most screentime and is still fairly funny, but I'd still prefer an obliviously stupid/clutzy joke to her new slut jokes any time.
