Season 02 of Futurama was Genius

[@TurboMMaster]

While first season was where they mostly tried to estabilish setting, and they played safe with episode structure. Season 2 was all about estabilishing characters and tone of series in general, and stories are all over the place.

[@loganthesaint]

It’s because the people in charge never released the episodes in the right order

[@TurboMMaster]

@@loganthesaint Actually, by "all over the place" I meant that episode structure in season 2 is much more diverse than season 1. Season 1 was pretty much all about parodies of classic S-F tropes and Fry adapting to his new life and old/new job. In season 2 we still have that, but other themes and character arcs are introduced.

[@corndogrequiem1728]

The first few seasons of Rick and Morty started strong, then just tried too hard. Imagine if they pushed Farnsworth to be the smartest guy ever but he's complicated because he had a wife at some point or something.

[@redacted2275]

Wow, did you figured entertainment out all by yourself?

[@TheBenCarroll]

One of many reasons why I like Futurama. Just kept getting better and funnier ever since. Same deal with the equally underrated American Dad following it's first year.

[@AsbestosMuffins]

"I choose to believe, WHAT I WAS PROGRAMMED TO BELIEVE!" such a classic and true line

[@ladams391]

All the bureaucrat jokes in Futurama are pure gold, the episode where they go to the central bureaucracy and Hermes sorts the enormous pile of canisters with a song and dance is probably my favorite in the series.

[@Show_My_Name_Not_My_Handle]

[@lolglolblol]

I mean, of course I get the joke that fry is brainless, but what if the brain slug starved because of Fry's lack of alpha brain waves? Would be an interesting bit of retroactive lore

[@cuberton]

his lack of delta brain waves is also pretty much a joke on his stupidity so they are basically the same thing. but yeah i would agree that its pretty cool how those things line up whether intentionally or not

[@TheLinksOfficial]

Well they did have everything planned from the get go, for example you can see nibbler's shadow in episode one so it is possible that fry's lack of the delta brain wave is exactly why it starved.

[@AsbestosMuffins]

@@TheLinksOfficial the niblonians maybe but they made several star trek jokes casually before they did the star trek episode where it was outlawed to say anything about star trek

[@TheLinksOfficial]

@@AsbestosMuffins sorry I'll rephrase that. Everything big planned obviously they still had to come up with all the various random episodes like that one but some major plot points were planned.

How is Hermes allowed to say Star Trek? Isn't that entire show banned and forbidden to even talk about? In fact, how does Hermes even know what The Federation is? He has never seen Star Trek, all the episodes were hurled into space.

[@Harry777]

My girlfriend was just saying the same thing and I had never really noticed before. Maybe you can mention it at home safely, but not in public (like the video store)? Hermes is pretty smart, so maybe he just knows about Star Trek from reading about it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@companioncubeismysoulmate180]

Wizard did it.

[@andreasbuehler1821]

Different timeline. In the timeline of that episode, Star Trek is not banned.

[@the_lancer_the]

Cartoons don't have to be 100% realistic

[@Wertsir]

Smoking weed is also apparently banned in the year 3000, based on the way Hermes acts about it, so he clearly knows how to skirt the law without getting caught. It could well be illegal, but good luck ever proving it. And anyway what are you, some kinda cop?

[@jaeded2391]

I love the implication that Amy is aware that this is an insecurity of Fry's, and that he's embarrassed about it enough to cover for him when it came up.

That joke when fry doesn't even remember the United Nations but of course remembers the federation from Star Trek is awesome! It just goes to show how so many people are like in real life actually. People often don't really have much knowledge of anything when it comes to politics at all, but then when it comes to important organizations that are within their fictional shows that they love to watch they pay very close attention to that. 😂

The earlier seasons of Futurama were amazing. The first 3-4 episodes of Season 1 were awesome too, especially "I, Roommate." But Season 2 was my favorite. It had episodes like "A Bicyclops Built for Two," "The Deep South" (which I can really relate to because I grew up just north of Atlanta in Forsyth County and went to GSU in downtown Atlanta, so I know the city very well), and "Mother's Day" (my favorite episode of the season).

The beginning of that episode starts with the main characters in a video store with Fry stating how great the first six Star Trek movies were, followed by everybody in the store getting startled and putting themselves on the ground like a shooter just came in, Leela stating the words “Star Trek” were forbidden, the police getting called, and Bender and the rest smuggling Fry out of there.
