I felt the Nibbler-pushing Fry into the chamber was definitely established from the beginning, but the Nibblonians mentioning that Fry is immune to the Brains because he did the "nasty in the pasty" seemed too tacked on. That is, I don't think they envisioned the Roswell That Ends Well subplot when they were creating…

Ok, no Poppleganger. I'll be the Pops from universe 1, and you can be the Pops from universe A.

wait, I'm a Mets fan, and my doppleganger is also?!?
We're through the looking glass here…

He had lines in that movie? I honestly thought he never said anything - though that may just go to show how much of the prequels I've blacked out.

I was also fairly young when it first aired, and I didn't realize how polarizing it was until a few years ago. I always thought it was just an extreme parody of how everything goes back to the way it was ("under penalty of torture") at the end of every episode of a long-running sitcom.

Fry: Is it done?
Professor: Certainly not. Two dings means it's done. (Dings twice.) But not like that. Slightly more rapid.

I have no explanation for it either, but for some reason, my friend and I were convinced he was the greatest in a joking sort of way. It was probably due in part to the fact that he had this super serious projection of himself which was his character, but couldn't really deliver an interview. Also, he became even…

Genetics play a part, certainly, however I can attest to the fact that lifestyle choices also play a role. Countless times I've been taking care of a patient that appears older than their stated age - can be from a number of factors like smoking, renal failure, vascular disease, etc. The inverse can sometimes be true…

Agreed. Also, the notion that Fry would be worried about his grandfather's safety despite the very obvious fact that he survived all the "dangers" around the army base is that perfect, but also unspoken level of Fry-stupidity that makes the show so great. (Plus, the fact that Bender doesn't tell him to stop shows that…

But even better is his delivery of, "I've not heard of them." He's just so desperate to be helpful.

They had no business doing that

She might be the last person one would have ever imagined in a east coast-Eastern Europe feud with a rapper.

Haven't there already been a few live action jungle book movies?

Well sure I agree with that for the most part, but I would love a winking nod in maybe a throw-away line or two to some of the incredibly illogical aspects of the prequels. Example: the notion that the storm troopers are clones designed to fight a war for a republic that has a senate consisting of hundreds of planets…

The third one did start a drunken argument when I was in college over who would win in a battle between a T. rex and those 6 or so marines who showed up on the beach. So, there's that.

my college roommate put it best saying he was such, "a young upstart" every time he acts annoying. (That and how Bruce Willis should play Auron in the movie version of the game). I also appreciated his cheery enthusiasm, it was a nice change of pace. I could never get into VIII, partially because of the brooding.

I know it's not even close to a great B plot, but my favorite line from this episode is at the factory when Milhouse stops working for a moment to wipe his sweat and Bart immediately shouts, "get back to work!!!"

I also appreciated the ever so subtle counting of intercostal spaces (between the ribs) that Rosario Dawson did before the needle decompression. I mean, most of the medicine in any show is pretty unrealistic, as was the majority of what we saw here but at least they did a little bit of research on how to deal with a…

I was sarcastically referring to the Chicago fire in 1871. I'm not even from Cleveland or Ohio originally, but I live here now and it's annoying hearing something knocking on my current home that happened before I was even born.
