I turned it off halfway through. It was completely rubbish. So bad that it’s making me want to NOT rewatch classic episodes.
If the writers on this are striking for more money, I can only hope they lose their homes to an AI. That also pleasures their wives, since at least one of them seems to have a fetish for cuckoldry.
I stopped watching 3 episodes into the new season when it was obvious that this was exactly what I feared it would be – a half-baked revival where characterization and good writing got thrown out the window. Even the CC revival had solid episodes even if some weren’t quite up to par with the original run. This is just embarrassing. I consider it a bad fanfic reimagining of the series and refuse to consider it actual Futurama.
I am simultaneously encouraged about the writers starting to take chances and completely baffled as to why they even bothered with an overall throwaway storyline.
I would also like some actual jokes thrown in. This is like…an outline of an episode that was never punched up in any fashion.
Did anyone else think this episode was supposed to be a dream? The fact that adverts are spread throughout definitely made me think it was (remember ads are beamed into peoples dreams).
Also there were elements shared between the anthology segments, like Fry being unwell, or Bender doing loop-de-loops that make me think it’s a reflection of some real events? Maybe events we’ll see in the season finale?
Curious if anyone else got these vibes. Could just be reading too much into it.
It feels like I’m the only enjoying this season. I think they’re doing great job and the episodes really funny!
I agree that this one was a weird one and trippy as fuck but it was really original and I caught myself laughing several times.
The main story was less good, but I feel like they wanted to put weight on the short ones.
Also this is the second time that we see that a character is cheating and it’s starting to get annoying. This is the only criticize I have

Oh god, the commercials, were so great. Totally going to be my zoom backgrounds this week.

If I had a nickel every time Bender became a car, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Here is my theory. They intentionally make these god-awful episodes so the rest of the episodes would shine against them.
This season has been so bad. I only watch it in the memory of the show I loved.
What the fuck did I just watch
