Just watched it - it was… ok. I think it’s important to remember that not all episodes have been winners, there were a lot of other episodes that have also been “ok”, too. I had a couple of chuckles, and after the wretched day I had, that was enough for today.

I hope they got some of the “topical” stuff out of their system, I think it’ll get old if every new episode is a non-ending cavalcade of winks to real-world issues. I know they have more coming, I just hope it’s not a substitute for telling good stories.

I do agree that some of the voice-acting sounded kind of off, but the one I noticed most was (mild spoiler ahead) the robot devil.

Ha, I submitted this too soon! The ending has some meta commentary.

The episode was fine to me. Writing is hard, I don't expect everything to be 'best of' material. I thought the meta was fine, the show is about being a corporate business run by a mad scientist who doesn't care about his employees... yet always comes back to them. Fry getting out of the suit was decent, fit with the Calculon style melodrama. With such a legacy, it's like new seasons of The Simpsons, how would you write it?

I thought the voices were fine. Marge SImpson, Julie Kavner, her voice has changed a lot since the start as voice actors I follow for a long time go... and I always notice the change in her voice... but it just seems real to me... I'm over age 50, and I know people whose voice has changed a lot from age 30 to 50.

Also, my magazine name for this is now obsolete!

I thought it was a great reference, but I doubt I would have ever found this community if it were not for Lemmy testing and looking in odd places ;

How is it season 11? The last season was season 7, am I missing like three seasons somewhere?

The whole plot was a not-so-veiled attempt at getting everyone to binge Futurama again, right? Anyhow yes there were a few good laughs and I liked that Bender said the classic line. Curious to see where relationship between Fry and Leela goes
