Anyone else think the writing in this episode was weak? The characters felt so fundamentally different and the jokes felt so lazy compared to the previous seasons. I’m staying optimistic about the rest of the season but this one left me pretty disappointed. I’d hate to see bender headed in the ‘jackass homer’ direction
Yeah, same. Both episodes so far have been disappointing. I'm not too optimistic about the rest of the season at this point, but I'll be watching them all and hoping for at least one solid good one.
It’s quite stark when you go back and do a rewatch of the early seasons. I’m still enjoying the episodes and all the fan service, but it feels like the characters are second to the random jokes jumping a bit all over the place.
I’m still having fun though!
I like seeing the characters again, but they're shells of their former selves. They tried to do a tearjerker ending this episode and I felt nothing.
