"Yeah, we're back..."

 Futurama's back and it's better than ever!


Things I loved: The lines! So many funny lines just like I remembered from its first run on tv and the movies.  Bender: "I hate partying! If only I didn't have so much crunk in my bedunkadunk!"

Leela-on-Leela battle over Fry!  "Back off you slut-clops!"

Also I loved that moment when Leela & Fry kissed and it turned into an electrical maelstrom (because by that time they were both robots). Boy, do I want an icon of that!

I know this seems like I ship Fry & Leela hard, but really I love the way they handle their relationship as is. They touch on relationship stuff but are then quick to take advantage of the humor of the silly situations. And I don't get weirded out when Leela sleeps with another guy or with Zapp  -- although I admit in the second episode that aired it got a little creepy with the trapped-naked-Leela storyline.  But again, it was the trapped-naked element that creeped me out, rather than the Zapp element - he's one of my favorite characters. 

Just my brief thoughts on last nights episodes - I'm so stoked the show is back!

Zapp did not have a protective helmet, yet he is in the same condition as everyone else. The entire crew of the Nimbus, however, are lost. This implies something extraordinary happening to Zapp, but it is never explained.

Kiff's body is in several shots, but then after the stem cell bath he just stops existing for a while, rather conspicuously I thought.

You make a good point about salty nuts. This requires some empirical research. I shall return.
