Does your on-screen guide say that it runs from 10:00-10:30? Because mine usually says something like 10:00-10:32 or something like that, and thus my DVR never misses it. If your provider isn't doing that, then they're loving you over.

Sometimes it lists it as going one minute longer. But it's not a huge deal, my DVR lets me add time before and after a scheduled recording. So I just added an extra three minutes, should be fine.

"15 miles over the speed of light!"
"That's a violation of the law of Lorentz Invariance, baby."

That joke was unexpected.

Yeah, for shows I really carre about I add five minutes to the beginning and end just in case.

I thought it was a pretty good episode. The jokes were pretty damned funny though out. I'm amazed they actually managed to make an Avatar joke without it actually feeling too stale. Maybe it helped by putting them next to Tron and Minority Report Jokes (Which I'm not complaining about either. They were old enough that it was clear they weren't trying to be topical).

I do think this season so far has had pacing issues and that's been it's biggest problem. I haven't hated any of the episodes but the pacing of the plot feels uneven in all of them. Like some parts feel rushed, while others have too much time spent on them. It's all over the map.

I also feel plot wise we're kind of getting into later Simpsons territory where the plot seems more "what if CHARACTER was X". and all the characters seem to be devolving into their most basic functions. I should note to say I like later Simpsons, and I like these episodes but something's felt off about the whole half season.

One of my favorite bits is Leela asking Bender "So...you're a robot" and Bender just turning away from her in disgust. I like it when characters act out completely natural situations despite the fantastic settings they're in.

Yeah, the sigh of disgust was just amazing, like he couldn't believe what a terrible loving attempt to break the ice it was and he could barely tolerate to even be in the same room as her.

Something else I loved was:

"Our corporate tax rate remained unchanged this fiscal year."
"....that's not funny..."
"It's not supposed to be funny, it's a business meeting!"

as someone who spends long car rides with co-workers I can barely tolerate to be in the same room with, I nearly spat milk out of my nose.

I wasn't even drinking milk.
