What was your last episode?

The anchovy one. Incidently, I'm amazed that the bank was still functioning seeing as the entire city got destroyed by aliens twice in the mean time. Of course economics doesn't work that way anyway, but hey it's a comedy.

Aside from one-off jokes and incidental gags, it actually has strong continuity. It's not too in your face about it, but they rarely contradict themselves when mentioning future history. For instance, it comes up that ask is now pronounced like axe, and from that point onward it's always said that way aside from Fry slipping up.

@King Kux Oh trust me you'd be surprised how many times I have TRIED to do that on a regular basis. He keeps on going on and on about how I'm NOT contributing to the family and how he's doing his job to pay the bills and blah blah blah, you'd think the way he was telling this he'd want to marry his fucking job. And here's the thing he accuses me of just sitting in my room all day when he's practically doing the same fucking thing with him watching soap operas on TV in the living room when he comes home. But as far as I'm concerned he's nothing compared to what I have in the near future once I start college.

From what I've read, the lazy guy from the second episode becomes a recurring character, but he has a speech quirk in all subsequent appearneces that he didn't have originally.

Also, Nibbler reappears in episode 5.

[up][up]It's Kix. And it's not like i've had the same problem. So far, with how i've been struggling in vocational school, i was thinking of quiting and getting a G.E.D test. so i'll be done and go out for something worth while.

Nibbler is a fairly important character. The first episode has some nice foreshadowing before Fry gets frozen. Not sure who you mean by the lazy guy with the speech impeiment.

@King Kix Yeah I know dude, I know. Which is why I'm trying to do the same with Media Studies but I'll manage....somehow. Well enough about me and my problems I'm heading off so don't be a stranger now.

Starscream- sorry about your issues with your dad. :/ my dad's a jerk so I sorta know what you're going through there.

And yeah I've never seen it either.

What! Guys, watch the thing. It's very satirical and deconstructive in it's humour while remaining light, and skewers and plays just about every science fiction trope there is.

Oh, and you mean Sal. He's a bit character who keeps opping everywhere doing random jobs. Mostly there to bug the Planet Express crew.

[up]Ehh. If I wanted to see a Sci-fi parody I'd just watch Spaceballs again. Or an episode of MST3K.

@Dark: It's on my list. It's one of those things I feel like I'd enjoy, but haven't had the chance to watch it.

From what I've seen of Futurama, it's been pretty funny so far.

Not a huge fan of Futurama, but it's something I'll still watch if I happen to catch it on and have nothing pressing to do.

For anyone who might have been waiting for it, I finished my BronyCAN Write-Up.

And while I'm here, might as well repost Dusky day 16.

What foreshadowing?

I don't watch TV, so I normally only watch shows online and only when I specifically want to. Currently I'm trying to decide whether to continue with Spice and Wolf. I watched the first two episodes last week and it wasn't particularly interesting, but I think I'll give it another chance.

I'll whole-heartedly add my endorsement to Futurama being a fantastic show.

And since Kuroi's doing it, here's my day 16 submission, and the very nice note Phoe sent me regarding my day 15 submission. :D
Oooh, a dA link sig, how original!

@ Story, might be a huge spoiler to actually go look at it for details, but in a way that tells you were to look if you want spoilers without giving you any.It's LITERAL foreshadowing, as in, look at the shadow's during the scene's leading upto fry getting frozen. Especially right when his chair tips.

Though yeah Futurama is freaking awesome, and yeah i does hold to some fairly amazing continuity overall, barring stuff tha'ts just for jokes. Overall it does stay fairly consistent.

Weird. When the chiar tips it looks like there's some sort of owl shadow. I take it this becomes important later?
