> [@ASL\_v2.0](#): > > Fry is dated. To December 31, 1999 to be exact. In the first new episode it actually took me a second to realize that binge watching wasn’t a thing when Fry was frozen until I remembered that. Although the Napster reference I mentioned was actually something in the 31st century. Remember the one where they were illegally copying celebrity images to blank robots from “Kidnapster”? ---

The animation looks stiff and different to me and the first episode was a bit too on the nose but. . . Yay, Futurama! Loved the second episode even if it was stupid that nobody remembered anything about the kids. I guess they had to find a way to explain it to those who hadn’t seen the 20 year old episode. Dang. I’m old! ---

I also found it funny that apparently 20 years have actually passed in the Futurama universe, yet none of the characters appear to have aged a bit. Except maybe Farnsworth before he put on his anti-wrinkle cream. But I guess they can just hand wave it and say they all use some futuristic cosmetic technology that keeps them looking exactly as young as they were 20 years ago. ---

I just realized we’ve got two different threads where we’re discussing the new Futurama. Here’s the other one: [https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trailer-for-the-27th-revival-of-futurama/986201](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trailer-for-the-27th-revival-of-futurama/986201) I’ll ask the mods if they can consolidate them. ---

And just like Science, threads are merged. I used my Fingerlongerer to do it. ---

Well, their bodies were cloned at the beginning of the second revival, that could have shaved off a few years. ---

This week, a brief cameo from @Spice_Weasel! [https://i.postimg.cc/t405G4Fx/Screenshot-20230904-120301.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/t405G4Fx/Screenshot-20230904-120301.jpg) ---

I think 3x08 is my favorite of the new season so far. Reminds me of the early years. ---

I hope this week’s Futurama offering is just a side effect of the writers strike. Good grief, it was unwatchable. ---

When are we getting a 3-pixel Futurama/8-bit Community crossover? eta wait a sec, I forgot there already was an 8-bit episode of Futurama I wonder if I made the same joke back then. Probably. ---
