Futurama refuses to die (Hulu revival)

[CaptainWacky]

12.5 - I suspected the girl we'd never seen before was the chat bot all along. Re-using Bender's classic "blackjack and hookers" line just reminds the viewer that they used to come up with classic lines.

12.6 -

12.7 - Terrible.

12.8 - Slightly better, but not good.

(12.6 actually was funny, I was just reacting to the ending.)

Seen the stupid coffee one.

I just can't bring myself to watch any new ones, because they lost the plot/formula somewhere into the first reboot. Too many topical subjects that don't mesh well with the 31st century, too many stunt/anthology eps,..

This show should also have been #SixSeasonsAndAMovie.

I admit the new episodes are nowhere as good as the old ones but I'm no quitter. I'm a completionist and I'll watch no matter how bad the episodes get until I die or the show goes off the air. Same goes with the Simpsons and the start of Season 36 next Sunday.

12.9 - Anthology episodes mean they don't have to worry about a plot that makes sense (or even a plot in general) so they're usually a bit funnier than the "normal" episodes (in this era of the show anyway.) There were a few funny bits this week and I luaghed out loud a couple of times (can't remember at what.) The Tintin one was quite good and I like Zoidberg as Snowy making his "whoop whoop" noise when barking. The first and third story felt too similar, maybe. It was okay.

12.10 - Finale was probably the strongest episode of the seaosn, though I do wonder if maybe they tried to do too much with the parrallel worlds story and the Fry/Leela stuff not getting as much screentime as needed. But it was funny, so that's good! It is a comedy!

I saw the last two, they do endings well.

I guess it will be undone again when it comes back.

They should just die at the end of every episode.
