> If by “where the floor’s rotating,” you mean the scene where the stewardess is walking along the rotating floor of the spaceship, you are mistaken. The music in that scene is Johann Strauss Jr.'s _On The Beautiful Blue Danube (The Blue Danube Waltz)_.

He means the jogging scene on Discovery, I believe.

This one’s really even better, it’s something like “Like all great strategies, my plan is so simple an idiot could’ve devised it!”

I do. Should have been a bit more descriptive.

_Jurassic Bark_ touched me in the same way _The Simpsons_ did when Homer met his mother for the first time, particularly the end scene where he’s sitting on the hood of his car after she’s gone. _The Sting_ really got to me though. The confusion and fear in Leela’s voice as everything went crazy around her while she searched for Fry absolutely cut me. Leela and Fry proved they loved each other when they could each be honest enough to say the other one needed a shower.
