Also, she was skinny in this episode (recall that in the tax rebate episode she was actually morbidly obese).

Did she have her navel ring in?

The only bit on Futurama that's been so dated it really bothered me was the Pat Buchanan joke in Future Stock.

Why in "I Second That Emotion" is Amy concerned she's not as smart as Leela? She's a Ph.D. student in some sort of fancy physics discipline to Leela being some sort of interstellar truck driver. After seeing Amy become Dr. Wong this season, that line back in season two seems out of place.

She's insecure despite being smarter on paper and was obsessing over a singular recent instance of being intellectually bested. That's quite realistic.

It wasn't actually in the episode in so many words. However, it's an age-old classic physics joke, so it was great to see it "made flesh" in Futurama.

Didn't URL say it when he and Fry were manning the speed trap?

I think Futurama's writers are the only people who've made actually-funny jokes about binary. This one, and Bender's table grace of "one zero zero one one.......two" actually made me laugh out loud.

Also, TVTropes says Bender's apartment door has the ASCII number for the dollar sign character :mmmhmm:

When he's shocked to see a binary number written on the wall in the werecar episode, the number is 666.

And it turned out that Bender was at the pizzeria all along and the robot who got killed on the moon wasn't him, but who cares about that?

Between this and the ugly dude whose only crime was being insulted into a frenzy by the main cast, this season has been awfully heavy on the collateral damage.

My first guess was Dave Bowman or Frank Poole (from 2001), but if that's the intent it's not nearly as accurate a caricature as the Doctor.
