I actually like it as much, if not better than last season. I agree with the commentary on the fact that I wish the episodes that are based upon older trends/events would have been better if released more concurrently with those events.

I am less fond of the Bender-heavy storylines.

Though many of the jokes are a bit predictable, it still tickles me. I don’t seem to find as many quotable lines, but maybe I have overly and repeatedly watched the other seasons so much they are stuck in my brain.

In any case, I still think the pizza analogy holds up. May be bad, good, or somewhere in between, but it is still pizza and I will eat it every time with some semblance of enjoyment.

Didn’t get to watch it until after work. As far as the episode went, I enjoyed it. So far IMO better than the previous season. I do agree with your analysis on the subject matter but still got some laughs out of those moments that are in the background or random elements of humor (Zoidberg’s main moment in this episode). Sorry trying not to be too vague while keeping from giving away spoilers.

Under the seat.

According to that post’s comments, our community/lemmy also comes up early in searches on Yahoo, Bing, and Duckduckgo! Wooooo!

Was that the Star Trek Wars or the Star Wars Trek?

After reading over https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Intellect_devourer I think you very well could be onto something.

Highlights from that site that follow this notion:

• They were capable of magically consuming a humanoid creature’s mind and memories from a distance of up to 10 feet (3 meters), provided that creature had a brain and succumbed to its psychic assault. If so, the victim’s mentality was deteriorated. In the worst case, the victim’s intellectual capacity was completely erased, leaving them dazed or stunned and ultimately incapacitated.

  • What happened to Earth beings except for Fry

• To aid in hunting, an intellect devourer could detect the minds of sentient creatures up to a distance of 300 feet (91 meters), determining both presence and position. -In the infosphere they were not able to detect Fry’s brainwaves due to his “nasty in the past-y” affecting his brain.

• Despite their exposed brains, an intellect devourer was protected by a crusty covering or clear membrane and was resistant to physical harm.

  • Fry was only able to hurt them by thinking

While they are supposed to have legs and claws, there is a illithid talent that they could fly.

Otherwise, the rest of the lore seems exclusive from the Futurama brains.

Knowing the intellect and geekiness of the writers, I agree that there is possible connection between the two. For the sake of creative licencing, I am sure if it was their intention to make them intellect devourers, they made the changes they did for the show. Thanks for sharing 😊.

So does my mutt

For no raisin.

Yes.

The other day I ordered a small item. Sure enough, huge box and 1 piece of inflatable plastic. Such a waste. Definitely identified with the scene where Bender is being taught how to package items.

Was a decent episode. Definitely more enjoyable than the previous one for me at least.

Definitely not the best way, but for (American and other?) healthcare companies it is the cheapest way. As a nurse, I do agree there should be better options. As you mentioned before, it’s not healthy for a peaceful healing environment, moreover, it makes nurses desensitized to alarms and that they blend in the background and become less effective at what they are supposed to do.

I love how everything Santabot ate was a cookie.

Table? COOKIE!!! Chair? COOKIE!!! Metal disc? COOKIE!!!

Also loved the variations on turducken.

Enjoyed the small details in the background of scenes.

Definitely one of the better Xmas episodes. Glad to see the Coolio ending.

Yes!. Although I was hoping to see the era of “when mankind was enslaved by giraffes”

I didn’t notice anything until you mentioned something. I don’t think it’s intrusive. I always appreciate your posts/memes (even on the other communities). Keep doing you!

Varies on who you ask, but it looks like both agree on Season 8.

FOX: Seasons 1-4

Movies: Season 5

Comedy Central: Seasons 6-7

Hulu: Season 8

Ah yes. Thanks for the Kif episodes comparison. I understand better and appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

May I ask, what Futurama episode do you feel is the best representation of what is a good, compelling story? Just trying to understand your personal expectations from past seasons. I personally enjoy the tie-ins to pop-culture, though I understand how many folks might disagree, but I feel every season seems to have their own connections to what events were relevant during their creation.

You are never to rich to eat a turkeydog.

Then what will you watch and drink all day?
