No one has made a thread yet (to my knowledge) so I want to be the first. I thought this episode was HILARIOUS. I laughed more in this one show than the other two combined! Nice bust gentlemen! You too! I didn’t catch the writer of it…anyone know? ---

I thought this was one of the best they’ve done in a long time. Excellent parodies of _Police Academy_ and _Minority Report_, a few good digs in at _Avatar_ for good measure, and some truly excellent gags. (Put 3D Glasses A Minute Ago!) ---

Not enough Bender. ---

Didn’t we get enough (indeed, too much) of him in the previous episode? ---

No. It’s a show about Bender. Concentrating on those other characters is pointless. They are only there for contrast to show how great Bender is. ---

Little known fact. Two of Benders cousins became lawyers specializing is Social Security Disability claims. ---

I thought it was a great episode, best one of the new season. I was about to gripe that I hadn’t heard that I needed 3D glasses, and then the delayed disclaimer came on! ---

I don’t know the answer, but I saw an interview with Al Gore’s daughter, [Kristin](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristin_Gore), on the Craig Ferguson show and found out that she had been a writer for Futurama. After that, I fell in love with her a little. Also, it makes all of Al Gore’s appearances in Futurama that much funnier. ---

> [@billfish678](#): > > Little known fact. > > Two of Benders cousins became lawyers specializing is Social Security Disability claims. I keep waiting for Futurama to really do this joke because that law firm runs a lot of ads on Comedy Central, at least in the New York market. I’m not sure if the joke would work elsewhere. Anyway this was a very, very funny episode. The Schrodinger’s Cat sequence was the best part (“There’s also a lot of drugs in this box.”), but there were a lot of big and small laughs throughout. I remember really liking the Pandora sequence and the joke about the criminal robot. ---

Does anyone know if the scenes work with 3d glasses? Which type: red/blue or red/cyan ? ---

I meant to ask: where did Fry say he learned that motorcycle move? I couldn’t make that out. ---

Sunny-D Commercial ---

I thought that was what I heard. That one doesn’t work for me since I can’t think of a Sunny D commercial that was even a little bit like that.
