I suspect that this is because when you start to think about grey goo hard enough to write a story about it you realize that it already exists and is called 'bacteria'.

Not quite. The bigger problem is that it's an interesting concept but how the hell do you write a plot about it?

Anyone else get a Matrix Revolutions vibe from the fight at the end of Benderama? I thought of it instantly when the giant nerd did the slow motion punch to Giant Bender(s)' face and all the debris sprayed

That's a Raging Bull reference, same as when it appeared in Raging Bender

Overall, the episodes were ok, but I'm not liking the trend of all the one-off Family Guy style jokes. Scruffy magically going to back to being a man with no explanation was probably for the better, but it was totally lazy writing.

The requirement that everything should be back the way it was at the end of the episode is nonsense. It's part of the conceit that there is a status quo which is returned to, but demanding that everything is wrapped up in a neat little package makes for episodes which spend more time tripping over themselves trying to make everything "fit" than ones in which interesting things happen.

The worst episode of the first half of the season, and possibly the whole run, is the eyePhone episode. There's no arguing that point.

Watch the Holiday Spectacular again, it's really not that bad.

Just when I think I have you SA Futurama fans figured out. I didn't watch last night but just caught it now, and assumed I'd come back to "man they did a spoof, HOW BORING AND DROLL."

Droll doesn't mean what you think it means :colbert:

alternatively,

I ALREADY DID

I don't quite get why this latest episode got the love it did; I think it was easily the worst episode of Futurama, yes, even including the movies , that I have ever seen, bar none. Yes, even Dwight+Cubert episodes, and A Leela Of Her Own, and That's Lobstertainment!

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad

Also That's Lobstertainment is really underrated

It's been really subpar. I'm no Futurama nut, but none of the episodes have been that good at all. The forward only time machine one being the exception.

The movies were better than this.

I think there seriously has been a pot joke in every episode this half a season. It's getting kind of annoying. Especially because the joke tends to be "Hermes smokes pot" and nothing more.

It's worse because it's the kind of lazy joke they really went out of their way not to make initially. "Now I got to go home and relax the traditional Jamaican way: A glass of warm milk and good night's sleep"

Also, the show's on later than it used to be and it's on comedy central now, they know their prime demographic will be smokers of the marj. I can see how that'd annoy non-stoners or even the picker viewers but it gets a laugh outta me every time, and yes, this episode's was more thought out than "I'm on a mostly natural high!"

You have bad taste and you should feel bad.

Pretty sure that joke pre-dates even the Simpsons. I heard it on Letterman in the 80's.

Yeah that's not a Simpsons joke except in that it appears on the Simpsons.

This just shows how lazy the art department there is. They didn't even put the long S, they just put Fs.

The Honking has a load of great bits but they don't hang well enough together, in my opinion. The thing about Fry being Bender's best friend isn't very interesting I think.

This half seems to have been sorted before transmission. Bender episodes together, flashback episodes together, that kind of thing. It's the kind of thing that make things seem samey on a week-to-week level.

Frankly, I thought by the time we got to S4/5 (whatever you want to call it) of the original run the quality had dropped a bit from the first few series.
