So having met some outcomes of possible future actions, but not others, obligates you to take the actions that result in the outcomes you've met? That makes no sense to me. You're no more responsible to hypothetical outcomes you've met in person than you are to those you haven't. No matter what you do, you're always

I was really surprised on reading the original review for exactly this reason, the notion that there's any moral obligation to hypothetical future people is a bottomless can of worms. Hell, by deliberately crashing the ship they're murdering far more potential people than 8000, including of course all of Kira's

Which is up to you, of course, but you can't claim that this one had logic problems and Angels didn't. Scored on logic, they're both abysmal, which is why it's best not to evaluate this show on that basis.

D'oh, my bad! That's fair enough then, though I stand by the idea that story logic is not something this series does well in general. The whole "no two parters" thing is really exacerbating the problem, too, because it keeps forcing big ideas into impossibly small spaces. This episode is a prime example of that.

So this gets a C+ for poor story logic, but Angels Take Manhattan gets an A?

Err, no one dies in Learning Curve, to my recollection. Kid gets beaten up, kid beats up the guy that beat him up, guy gets taken into custody. Am I forgetting something?

I had no idea this was in any way connected to Katz and Home Movies, both of which were excellent. To be honest, every time I've tried to watch Bob's Burgers I've found it either dull or off-putting. I guess I'll have to give it another shot. Any suggested episodes for a new guy looking to be impressed? Preferably

Did I miss something? How did they do that, and when?

I'm still faintly hoping that will come back up at some point, though I've long since learned not to expect too much of this show.

I can't help but wonder if there's a connection between the TARDIS's detonation here, and the (still unexplained?) explosion at the end of season 5. 

I'm not one to rag on my favorite artists for wanting to explore new sounds, so I'm just going to say that, as with Kiss Each other Clean, these arrangements mostly don't work for me (Lover's Revolution being the major exception) and, just like I wanted with KEOC (and never got), I wish Sam would put out an acoustic

I honestly think that comment is essentially true of every show that's been brought back from the dead, to one degree or another. It seems to be more pronounced the longer the show was out of circulation, as well.

That didn't work for the Simpsons, and most of the newer Futuramas I've seen seem to suffer from the same syndrome.

I'd be genuinely interested in titles. I have to admit that I've drifted in and out of the new seasons, because I really didn't find most of what I saw all that funny. It's totally possible, as a result, that I missed some good ones.

I'll just be "The Fighting Mongooses," that's a cool team name.

Just think of me as your evil twin, minus the stylish head wound. 

I won't dispute any of that, but I watch significantly less than 5% of what's on TV, and Futurama doesn't make the cut anymore.

I've been using this since 2005. You, however, have excellent taste.

The show hasn't really been its old self since the first time it was cancelled. It still has its moments, of course, but I wouldn't call this any great loss.

I liked Donna too, somehow she was much more relatable and likable than Rose ever was. It's not really a class thing, it's a personality thing. Donna at least had some common sense, a clear sense of self-preservation, and didn't treat her loved ones like crap.
