I watched half way, got PTSD from season 10 and put on s1e1 and fell asleep. I've liked this season so far, being fan since literally 1999 (holy shit...) but I couldn't make it through this episode. It was Naturama all over again.
Was painful. An episode I will never watch again
Hey, you do you. My days of slamming things I don't like are over. Not everything's made for me and I accept that but there are definitely similartities I can draw between the two. I told my brother that I don't mind the off-the-wall goofy episodes when the What-If machine is involved but the knee-jerk transitions between actual episode and goofiness just isn't for me. Glad there's a new season and that there's an audience for episodes like that though!
Oh absolutely. Not everyone's cup of tea. I just didn't enjoy it at all. Just wanted it to stop.
How DARE you speak ill of Naturama!
Did anyone else think this episode was supposed to be a dream? The fact that adverts are spread throughout definitely made me think it was (remember ads are beamed into peoples dreams).
Also there were elements shared between the anthology segments, like Fry being unwell, or Bender doing loop-de-loops that make me think it’s a reflection of some real events? Maybe events we’ll see in the season finale?
Curious if anyone else got these vibes. Could just be reading too much into it.
I have no idea why this is what it is.
I'm glad it exists, but confused and slightly scared.
What the fuck did I just watch
I came here to say this. What the fuck is going on in this one?
Can’t believe the first season back is already almost done! Any word yet on if it’s been picked up for season 12?
I mean, shouldn't you know? You kind of star in the show man
No I’m… doesn’t!
Ask Leela, she probably knows.
From my understanding it was renewed for 20 episodes split it into two parts so there will still be 10 coming at some point (much like Disnenchantment did).
The framing plot here was imo definitely a self-aware parody of past episodes where Leela just totally forgets/ignores she and Fry are dating, and through that lens I found it hilarious. The science spell reveal at the end is the perfect absurd capper to it and also makes it clear it wasn't meant to be taken seriously
Here is my theory. They intentionally make these god-awful episodes so the rest of the episodes would shine against them.
If I had a nickel every time Bender became a car, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
This season has been so bad. I only watch it in the memory of the show I loved.
My theory here is this episode is 4 mini episodes written by ai.
Usually when they do an anthology or clip show they have some kind of in-universe framing device, but this almost feels like the whole screenplay was ai and they just said fuck it.
I really hope this is the case and they were trying to prove a point in favor of the striking writers... otherwise I may skip the rest of this season. Its been okay, if a bit stale, but this was one was disheartening.
Oh god, the commercials, were so great. Totally going to be my zoom backgrounds this week.
