My god, that’s a good idea!  It should be one somebody’s playlist.

I’m glad the season is getting a good review, but I didn’t read past the first couple of paragraphs — partially I want to avoid anything that even looks like a spoiler, but mostly because I don’t like this take that there was anything wrong with season three.

Thank you for this interview.  There are fewer shows that make me as happy as Futurama.  The combination of Juvenalian and Horatian satire, the affection for the characters, and the love for the goofiest tropes of SF combine to make it just a joy for me from start to finish.  I’m currently rewatching it with my…

Been wondering this exact thing.

Wow, that was fantastic!  Because you put the work in, nobody has to engage with a troll.  Nicely done!

Good luck on that picket line! I’m hoping for a resolution to come soon, but, man the studios really want to screw you guys this time. (As opposed to all the other times — when they also want to screw you.)

Incorrect.  Ant-man DNA would give you Paul Rudd’s anti-aging powers.

I came to say just about exactly this, but you said it better.

This is the best take. Liking things and appreciating things.

I know this story (and your comment) was a while ago now, but I still want to chime in and agree.  I loved this movie in the moment that I was watching it as a dumb teenager, but even twenty minutes after I had left the movie, I was cluing in to the racism (took me that extra time because dumb teenager).  I remember…

I certainly found the first episode both pretty and dull.  My wife and son watched the first twenty minutes or so with me, then begged me to stop it.  I went back to it later, but only managed that episode.  I’ve been hearing from people who really liked it since then, so I’m really not sure how I’ll go on this one.

Wait, seriously? They did mystic powers right away?

I think the motto in the writing room must be “Less Asimov Every Year — More Lucas and Herbert.” Season three will probably have the emergence of mystic powers.

I kind of agree with you. Obi Wan should have been canonically long-lived. He and Anakin should have been struggling for at least a century against the decline of the golden age. They should have reached a point twenty years before when they thought things would be okay, and thus Anakin could have a child. Then? Bam!…

Totally fair point.  I’m going to add that I always read with great interest what you post here.  Have a great weekend!

I think I remember you making this point here a few years ago, and I think it’s a good one.

I believe it’s coming down from the trees that has widely been regarded as a mistake.

Wait, how about, “True or false: If I were to ask the two machines to the left the same question ten times in a row, they would give different but consistent responses AND the one on the far left would be consistent with similar responses given by this machine.”

I’m pretty sure the best question must begin with an “If I were to ask you” kind of construction.  Is it permissible to include an “and” or an “or” in the question?

If you’re going to reference Kilroy so cleverly, Imma show a poem to go along. I don’t know if you know this one, but I love it.
