Default Re: Futurama: \"Bender\'s Big Score\" + other movies/\"new\" episodes

I thought it was good, people had really high expectations and this show isn't at it's best when using long plot arcs. It wasn't as self referential as everyone is making it out to be this was the equivalent of six episodes if you were to randomly pick six episodes you would probably get a similar amount of references.

I just watched it and thought it was weak throughout. Not because it was too self referential, because I usually enjoy that kind of stuff. I thought the jokes were flat, the lines weren't snappy.

If the battle scene had been done in the original Futurama it would have lasted less than 10 seconds, had one really memorable line, and everyone would have thought it was hilarious and wanted more. It would have been better if they had cut down this "film" into one extended episode, 40 minutes or so.

Though I do agree that it would have been nice to see some mention of devil's hands in the movie, nothing *actually* happens in the final episode wrt fry/leela dating.

They mention in the commentary that since they didnt know if it would be their last episode, they went with an ending that would resolve the fry/leela relationship in a happy way without commiting to too much if it came back on.

what do you mean here? Like, what long arcs are you talking about?


(I ask because my 2 fav. eps are parasites lost and why of fry, both of which are long arc related)

CMI,
I meant they are better at telling 22 minute stories than 88 minute stories.
