Fry was my favourite episode of the last half season. Primitive notions of modesty. *disrobes*

She did have sex with Zapp since the relationship started.

Good news, everyone. Comedy Central has started airing Futurama episodes online. So far, it's just Groening's favorite episodes: The Late Philip J. Fry I Dated a Robot Roswell that Ends Well Godfellas The Prisoner of Benda

Fry was my favourite episode of the last half season. They're still together. If you were to refuse the Mayor's Wife when she attempts to give you the traditional reward, it would surely be seen as a sign of disrespect. And disrespecting the mayor and his wife? That dog won't hunt, monsignor.

And you know whose wife he can't not have sex with? The Mayor.

The armpit / "winter is coming" thing caught me off guard. Fun episode, much preferred it over the previous two. Lots of great quotes. As has been said, anything with the Robot Devil is bound to be good.

LividLiquid posted:Fry forgetting how to talk is my absolute favorite running gag. The best of these gags is still from War is the H-word, where Fry forgets that he's not another guy. When he formulates the clever plan to take over the helicopter, watches disguised Leela do it and is thrilled for a moment that he pulled it off, before realizing that he's not that other guy. Just thinking about it cracks me up!

This Thursday's episode has become one of my least favorite episodes in the entire series thus far (as in, out of any season). After watching it a second time, you realize the dialogue consisted entirely of one-liners or really contrived ways of advancing the plot. The story in general didn't have a great arc and felt very inconsistent. There was an attempt at adding some emotion to the episode but it just felt forced and impossible to connect to. Also I really wasn't digging any of the gags with the robot devil.

Thank you for articulating how I felt about this episode. Add this with my growing Bender fatigue and you have what I felt about it. However, nothing is worse than the iPhone episode.

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?

I just felt like, even ignoring the whole boil debacle, the satire was terrible and lame and didn't bring anything new to the table like Futurama usually at least tries to do - it was just the typical "LOL ALL PEOPLE DO ON TWITTER IS SAY WHAT THEY HAD FOR BREAKFAST LOL" type poo poo. It's the only episode of the show I haven't liked at least a little.

The worst episode of the first half of the season, and possibly the whole run, is Holiday Spectacular. There's no arguing that point. Watch the eyePhone episode again, it's really not that bad.
