Wait, in the first episode Leela said they should form an airline because teleporters wouldn't be invented for another 15 years, but last season we saw the Professor had made a teleporter gun like it was nothing special. My immersion!

My opinion first turned south when the robot devil started singing his original 'ironic punishment' song. What, they couldn't come up with a couple of bars of original music and half a verse to play before Bender cut him off?

Had a loving blast watching that episode and I know it's going to be one I enjoy coming back to in the future.

Maybe if I was a writer, then I would have found the last episode funnier. As it is, I can appreciate what they did with the story, but it just left me

I know it was an 's', I've just never understood why old documents used both 's' and 'ſ' Congreſs? Now they're just loving with me.

Senor Tron posted:That rube goldberg mercy killing machine is even funnier when you consider how widespread suicide booths are. It initially seemed a bit out of place to me until I realised that the Professor probably would want to be killed by something as unnecessarily complicated as possible. Actually the suicide machine concept from this episode has a real world basis. I can't remember the specifics, but there was a woman with a terminal illness who wanted to die, but the law wouldn't let her. So her family and closest friends designed, built and then activated a machine to end her life. The idea was that each individual person only took part in a small fraction of the process, that way nobody could be charged with murder.

More proof that Futurama is the nerdiest of shows: Remember the brief shot in the latest episode when Fry goes over Niagara Falls in a cask, bounces off some rocks then goes through a tunnel underneath the falls into a massive room? That tunnel is a real thing. Built in 1906, it was the largest redbrick tunnel in the world.  Built 8 stories beneath the Toronto Power Generating Station, it runs all the way to the falls.  The only reason I know this is because, a few years ago, a group of crazy urban explorers broke into the old power house. They found their way to the massive shaft, descended on ropes to the bottom and took these photos:   Niagara from behind  More links to the crazy people  :http://www.adventuretwo.net/stories...ant-in-the-mist http://www.sleepycity.net/posts/67/...villain_Hideout

I loved watching anime Bender transform into a larger himself. Monicro posted:Huh? No, at the end of the Steamboat Willie segment Bender does the Looney Toons "That's All Folks!" thing, except he says "That's all you get, jerks!" instead. Great, they cut that bit out on my feed  I thought the intro was cut down where the god galaxy said, "So the next time you see a lowly salamander, it might be-" and then cut straight to the first part. Now I see that he not only had another line, but they cut off the end of his "it might be you", too. Goddamn it, cutting out jokes to fit in a few extra seconds of ads
