next week, next week, almost there, just breathe
I can't stand the waiting!

I've been watching a shitload of Futurama reruns lately (even more than usual!) to get myself prepared for next thursday and it's just making the wait even worse.

so I'm avoiding spoilers to keep myself sane and to ensure maximum enjoyment

So....thoughts?

First episode was pretty okay. Second episode for the most part felt like a late-period Simpsons "it's a well-known story but with the Simpsons as characters" episode, and its ending was abrupt. I think Futurama's at its best when it sticks with a strong A plot. The second episode's A plot was all set up for the B plot, which was pretty boring.

Not going to lie, I was a bit disappointed. I didn't really laugh at all throughout the two episodes, the jokes felt really obvious, and I'm not sure that I like the Fry & Leela being together thing.

Then again, I was expecting to be disappointed.

KvP · « **Reply #57 on:** 25 Jun 2010, 02:22 »

I don't know, I think Futurama is pretty gutsy to go with the main characters together, what with it being such a legendarily bad move for most shows.

I guess it could also be read as foolhardy, given that, you know, technically their getting together was supposed to be the end of the show. The second episode certainly didn't take their relationship very seriously, which was another thing that made it feel pretty flimsy.

I've only seen the first one so far, but in my viewing of it I was so excited to be watching new Futurama that I was almost entirely uncritical. It just seemed really goofy and self-aware. It wasn't very complex or surprising, but I didn't really require that of it.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #59 on:** 25 Jun 2010, 10:21 »

I liked the first one, especially the fact that Amy asked why their voices changed, but I didn't really like the second one. I blame Zap's cut aways every time he had to admit something.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #60 on:** 25 Jun 2010, 13:15 »

I honestly thought it was wonderful. I was laughing pretty much the entire time, and the stuff with the robots was such a classic Futurama type of story that I couldn't help but love it.

It is a little weird seeing Fry and Leela actually admitting their feelings for each other. They've been dancing around it pretty much since the show started, but I gotta admit it made me smile.

I might have even gone "awwww"

All the little bits thrown in here and there from past episodes were the best. Like did you notice when they were showing the map of the solar system when V-GTNY (or whatever) was headed to earth that one of the planets was "Urectum"? I chuckled maniacally when I saw that.

sean · « **Reply #62 on:** 25 Jun 2010, 19:09 »

i was actually pleasantly surprised by the episodes. i thought they could have been better, but they certainly could have been much worse. if they don't pick it up though i'll probably stop giving a shit.

J · « **Reply #63 on:** 25 Jun 2010, 23:28 »

not the best episodes, but far from the worst. i was satisfied, and i expect it to go uphill as they find their footing again.

i do wonder how they are going to proceed fry and leela though; so much of the how was about a guy who just can't get the girl, and now he's got her.

Hehehehehehe

These episodes are getting progressively better. Most recent was the best so far, and completely felt like the older stuff.

smack that isaiah · « **Reply #67 on:** 05 Aug 2010, 19:34 »

I really like the new episodes now. I feel they've gained a lot of steam.
However, right now, after the most recent new episode, a rerun of Jurassic Bark, where Fry finds his old dog, is on now. I know if I keep watching it I'm going to tear up. I kinda think I should flip away...

edit: oh god, i'm tearing up.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #68 on:** 06 Aug 2010, 10:06 »

yeah, that episode is waaay too sad for it's own good.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #69 on:** 06 Aug 2010, 10:43 »

Yeah, as these have been progressing they've definitely been getting better. They're up to date, snappy, and just as silly as they were before. My earlier doubts are beginning to wane.

bicostp · « **Reply #70 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 22:26 »

Jurassic Bark is nowhere near as sad after you've seen Bender's Big Score.

J · « **Reply #71 on:** 13 Aug 2010, 07:05 »

that honestly pissed me off. they totally neutered some of the saddest shit any show had ever had the balls to put on the air.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #72 on:** 13 Aug 2010, 09:25 »

So how about this weeks episode? I really like it, especially the part at the end where the robot pulled a Farnsworth and blasted off into space in disgust.

Professor Snuggles · « **Reply #73 on:** 13 Aug 2010, 11:39 »

Great ep. Just getting better and better.
TRILOBOTS! brought the lols.

JimmyJazz · « **Reply #74 on:** 19 Aug 2010, 21:19 »

This week's epsiode was definately the funniest so far. The romance scence with Scruffy and the Bucket Robot in Amy's body is fucking comedy gold.

knives · « **Reply #75 on:** 20 Aug 2010, 15:59 »

I'm disappointed in that moment because I know anything else they do from now on, especially with Scruffy, will never measure up. Here I was thinking they wouldn't beat, "I don't want to live on this planet anymore," this season and in a very different actually funny way they killed it.
