Wrong, Metal Blade uses a throwing animation that points down when on the ground, and out when in the air. SHEESH.

In the first run there's a consistency that starts to emerge with Fry's "differenty" intelligence. He's dumber in some episodes than others, but someone on the DVD commentary mentions that "Fry's thought process is often elusive" and I think the character is at his best when it wasn't a "Fry is dumb" joke but a "Fry's…

I wonder what the Shroud of Turin tastes like…

This reveal made me laugh really hard. I like how Fry nonsensically takes it as inspiring and vows "You're right, I have to fix things"

Yeah, it's the fact that he feels compelled to volunteer *some* information in response, and he thinks what he says is helpful in some way.

"We cooked our shoes in the dryer and ate them"
I think it's the specificity of "in the dryer" that makes this joke so hilarious. It's a resourcefulness that's pathetic and impressive in equal measure.

You'd think they'd be more willing to entertain alternative versions of an original story, then.

It's just such a gosh-darn shame they weren't born white. Truly lamentable.

Haha!

It quickly became a series-long game of writers' room telephone, with no episode aware of any plot element more than 3 episodes old. It introduced characters and insisted they were central to the mythology before getting bored and disposing of them in favor of whatever new gimmick they'd thought up. It was like a bad…

I said "weaker", meaning not as good as the best episodes of the show.

The impression I got was that the two who got the most screentime were a couple, which Fry doesn't pick up on. There's a stereotypical joke about short shorts, but it's pretty mild (especially compared the transphobic jokes the series sadly keeps coming back to).

I'm a big fan of the random number generator as execution countdown. Even as weaker episodes, there's some really brilliant gags here.

Why would that keep him from working on something? Both his hands are free.

Even if more women coming forward and more protests don't change anything, I think it's worth keeping in the public eye for as long as he's still alive. He doesn't get to pretend it didn't happen without hearing about it wherever he goes. He doesn't get to run out the clock without it being extremely uncomfortable for…

I get the philosophy behind "there's no stakes if no one can die", but Whedon kind of invented his own frustrating trope, which is that characters in his stories tend to die JUST to prove that anyone can die. It doesn't feel like any less of a cheap narrative trick to kill a character vs. the miraculous survival after…

Yes, murder is still wrong.
But if he retired from making things, that would be nice for the world, I think.

They probably expected what they were promised when they were hired, like it says in the article.

"Cynthia used to drink Slurm…"

Since it became necessary for his film's PR team to do damage control.
