Re: Futurama: \"Bender\'s Big Score\" + other movies/\"new\" episodes
[ QUOTE ]
One thing that I did find disappointing that's already been mentioned here is that it seemingly completely left out the final episode, the Fry/Leela relationship is as stuck as ever at the start of the movie, and Leela goes on the date without a second thought to Fry. I know the ending seems to kind of twist this around, I still found it sort of irritating [/ QUOTE ] In several of the final episodes besides the last one the ending scene gave an indication that their relationship would change (the why of fry, the sting) without any difference or reference in the next episode, so it's not surprising that they did the same thing here.

Re: Futurama: \"Bender\'s Big Score\" + other movies/\"new\" episodes
Being this nerdy is tilting me, but those are 3 of the last 9 episodes and the intervening episodes don't have any romantic stuff at all(two are Bender episodes, one is 300 Big Boys, one is the Star Trek episode).
The plot arc from The Why of Fry->The Sting->Devil's Hands was admittedly an attempt from writers who knew the show was ending to accelerate the Fry/Leela romance subplot. The movie threw their relationship right back to Season 2.

Re: Futurama: \"Bender\'s Big Score\" + other movies/\"new\" episodes
Even using just the romantic episodes shows that there wasn't a strong sense of continuity in the first place. The Farnsworth Paradox was released after the first two and shows him still struggling to get a date with her, after they already made out and he basically saved her life. Also, in the episodes in between, you'd think there would be some mention of their relationship within the dialogue, even if it wasn't a main part of the plot.
In the movie, after the opening and the re-introductions, they jumped into the Lars storyline almost right away, so it wasn't clear what their current state was. But based on how strong his emotions and feelings for her were portrayed throughout the movie, I'd say it's far closer to just being a continuation of their season 5 strategy than a regression to season 2.
