Futurama Season 7 Episode 12 “The Mutants Are Revolting” Review

Sun, 05 Sep 2010 17:49:33 +0000

Futurama Season 7 Episode 12 The Mutants Are Revolting : The Planet Express crew makes its one hundredth delivery: a souffle to a rich, old widow, Mrs. Astor. After making the delivery, she invites them to a fun raiser for mutant scholarships to Brown University. Fry accidentally reveals that Leela is a mutant, banishing her back underground.

Bender, meanwhile, throws a 100th delivery party while the rest of the gang fights for Leela’s rights and ends up getting sent down to the sewer for harboring a mutant. Fry turns himself into a mutant and leads the mutants to march above ground for equal rights. Bender, missing the gang, comes underground and reverses the sewers to create backflow up above.

Oh and there was a Land Titantic. Yeah, a second Futurama Titanic joke. One of the passengers? Mr. Astor. While underground, the crew discovers a list revealing there were mutants aboard and that Mr. Astor gave up his seat in the life car to a mutant… Leela’s grandmother to be exact.

Mrs. Astor is so moved, she gets the mayor to allow mutants to stay above ground. Oh and it turns out Fry is no longer a mutant, he pops out of Mr. Astor’s body and every parties.

Futurama Season 7 Episode 10 ‘The Prisoner of Benda’ Recap

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 08:38:31 +0000

The staff writers and show runners for Futurama aren’t your typical batch of comedy nerds or egghead wordsmiths.

They are a level-up in smarts and braininess. Their frontal lobe contains deep, complex knowledge on scientific and mathematical concepts that could make even the smartest AP calculus student switch his major to English.

Their scripts and sets contains tons of hidden “in-jokes” that only a handful of mathematicians and physicists would find remotely interesting. Tonight’s episode took an entire theory and wrapped it completely around the plot and the truly genius part of it was that even a dumba** like me could enjoy it.

On the surface, it appears to be just a typical character-switching episode that would have been thrown on the “Jump the Shark” scrap heap, if that scrap heap hadn’t been sold, recycled and sacrificed to the gods of TV Guide long ago. The Professor unleashes a mind-switching machine on his usual gang of idiots, aliens and whatevers and, as they say in the business, chaos ensues.

Instead, it turns into a multifaceted, complex and layered adventure with more characters switching brains and bodies and pairing each other up in some very clever and comic situations. ‘Futurama’ has done this since the dawn of its dawn-like title screen, utilizing very simple methods (the famed “Tales of Interest” episode that had the characters rewriting scenarios with the “What If?” machine) to the complex (the “Three Hundred Big Boys” episode). It takes a very simple concept and turns it on its head over and over until it can’t tell what its neck is on its shoulders or sticking out of its crotch and somehow, it manages to bring them all together in the most twisted bit of literary surgery since ‘The Human Centipede.’

Last night’s episode took this not-so-simple concept one step further. Ken Keeler, the twisted mind who wrote the episode, actually the plot around a theorem on group theory that he created, something that’s no small feat for him since he also has a PhD in mathematics, according to the American Physical Society. The article doesn’t explain exactly how the theorem works or how it fits into the episode, but that’s probably because it makes us normals’ brains explode and ‘Futurama’ still needs all the viewers it can get.

The beauty of it is it didn’t make the episode less enjoyable or harder to watch it because it was so complex. In fact, the sheer madness of having to switch brains and bodies from their abnormal to their normal state sucked me into the gripping conclusion. It found new ways to f#*$ with my mind. Even as I was watching it, I knew this brain-switching business had to be based on some complex equation or mathematical theory that I couldn’t possibly understand without the use of flash cards and that just made me want to watch it again.

Of course, the fact that it still manages to be pretty damn funny also helped. The level of deep complexity over concepts I could barely understand may have sucked me in, but its usual caliber of clever comedy made me want to stay. It proves that television comedy doesn’t have to sacrifice brains in order to score laughs.

In other words, it was the quintessential ‘Futurama‘ adventure.

Futurama Season 6 Episode 9 ‘A Clockwork Origin’ Recap

Sat, 14 Aug 2010 11:11:42 +0000

It’s always nice when a television sitcom can manage to be funny and still have something interesting to say. It’s like getting a delicious ice cream cone and discovering a healthy stalk of broccoli inside of it.

Last night’s episode of Futurama took on the never-ending heated debate between science and creationism in a way that not only got in a couple of good swipes at either side, but did so in a way that didn’t detract from the meat of the meatbags’ main conflict.

The Planet Express team, who still seem to spend every waking minute doing things except delivering packages, took on the creationist movement, led by science guy Dr. Farnsworth, to find the “missing missing link” in man’s evolutionary structure. When the snooty Dr. Banjo one-upped Dr. Farnsworth’s one-up, he left Earth for a lifeless planet and accidentally unleashed a brand of evolving robots. The whole structure of the planet seemed destined for a pro-science ending, but it ended with a very interesting dual symmetry of the setup plot that shows no one theory on either side is perfect without beating you over the head with a beaker or a Bible.

The philosophical side of the episode didn’t utilize as much humor as the action packed side, featuring the crew in a rapidly evolving robot world designed to perfectly parody “One Million B.C.,” from robotic dinosaurs down to Amy’s skimpy two-piece cavewoman suit. I’ve always loved how ‘Futurama’ tries to make jokes out of things that only a small core of their audience can appreciate and doesn’t worry about pleasing everyone with every bit or plot device. It makes you feel like you’re sharing inside jokes with your nerdy little buddies without the pain and humiliation of real life.

The subplot between Cubert and Zoidberg, Cubert’s godfather, didn’t attach itself to the main plot other than they were the two characters who got left behind, so it didn’t feel necessary except to fill time and keep the main plot from getting too stale. It wasn’t particularly funny and just made me wish it would get back to the battling robotic dinosaur action faster. However, Cubert’s mistaking the word “loser” for “Zoidberg” gave me another laugh, even if it made loser — I mean Zoidberg — cry again on the inside.

In fact, just about all of the little jokes from the “Wozniak” school sign reference to Bender’s new found time to learn how to knit (if you didn’t see them, you really missed out) had a clever sense of humor and timing. ‘Futurama’ always had the best methods for taking a bad situation and making it hilariously worse.

It’s far from the best episode of the season, but that’s still saying a lot for a show that has managed to find new ways to stay fresh while it’s been in the can for so long.

Futurama Season 7 Episode 8 ‘That Darn Katz!’ Recap

Sat, 07 Aug 2010 09:05:23 +0000

Futurama Season 7 Episode 8 : ‘Futurama’ is one of those rare shows that can find a lot of common ground in silliness and sweetness.

It can mine great humor from sheer cartoon insanity and still manage to turn into something that can warm your heart and make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, like your organs have been fitted with their own custom Snuggies (Snuggans? Orggies?).

It even managed to be just as entertaining and sweet this week, despite the fact that most of the episode centered around the cult-like ways of cats and general cat-dom.

And yes, before you gripe, I’m a dog person.

I have nothing personal against cats. They just seem so aloof and unloving that they harbor some kind of evil or dark side, like they’ve been plotting some big plan to overtake their human overlords all this time. Dogs could never pull this off. If dogs were planning to take over the world, all it would take is a squeaky toy or a dangling leash pulled out of a kitchen drawer to stop them from pulling the trigger on the death ray. That’s what made cats such perfect foibles for this week’s episode.

This time, cats turned out to be the evil race of aliens bent on destroying the Earth to save their own measly, cat-fancied planet of cush-terra and fish that act like chickens. The set up to the big reveal might have been spoiled by the ads, something Comedy Central could have avoided if they just used the setup portion of the plot to plug the show, but the twist was actually quite clever.

The episode had all sorts of little touches that made the plot work beautifully, like the opening scenes of Amy going for her doctorate at Mars University. Professor Katz turned out to be just a giant puppet being controlled by the evil cat in his lap, but you might have noticed that Katz and Dr. Katz (not the one in Squigglevision) had a scary sense of synchronicity. Wherever Dr. Katz looked, the cat in his lap followed like a ventriloquist controlling his puppet in order to trick the audience. Only this time, it was actually funny.

There also seemed to be more jokes crammed into this episode than previous efforts that focused more on using plot and structure to the drive the humor. That’s not a bad thing. In fact, it’s harder, and they made it work for the most part, like the “Must haz cat to enter” sign reference to “I Can Haz Cheeseburger” (the “asterik” bit that Bender made came so far out of left field that it had its own gravitational pull, don’t make me repeat it). Making individual bits of humor that still fit around the main story is more challenging than it looks. If it wasn’t, every show would be like ‘Family Guy.’

It was also nice to watch an Amy-heavy episode that didn’t involve her “Kiffy.” Kif Kroker is an interesting and funny character, but it was starting to get a little nauseating watching him and Amy play the sappy couple who are so in love with each other that they are willing to flaunt it in every human being’s face, short of buying a billboard to further their lovey-dovey message of love. Pairing her up with Nibbler, who spent most of the episode in his intelligent being form, was also a nice twist since most sub-character episodes usually just stick with one character throughout the whole affair. They did the same thing by pairing Bender and Hermes in the very touching ‘Lethal Inspection’ episode. In any other show, this would be a nuisance, but since ‘Futurama’ has almost as big of a character universe as ‘The Simpsons,’ the idea has a lot more mileage.

The ending also added a nice touch of sweetness to the whole adventure that wrapped up the main story nicely and drew some surprising “Awwws” out from the repaired relationship between Leela and Nibbler. And how can anyone not go “awww” over that little pooper-doodle? Even an angry cat-hater like me went “awwww.”

Futurama Season 6 Episode 7 ‘The Late Philip J. Fry’ Recap

Sun, 01 Aug 2010 09:49:12 +0000

Anyone who has ever said that the new Futurama episodes could never live up to the epic awesomeness of their seasonal predecessors can officially (according to the National Endowment for the Bureau of Determining Who Can Suck It) suck it.

Last night’s time-tripping paradox through the ends and beginnings of time and back again had everything that make a ‘Futurama’ episode great: lots of heart, deep and complicated plots and jokes that don’t suck.

It also finally addressed the slowly building love affair between Fry and Leela, something that felt like it should have been doing from day one (more like day 1.3). The wait, however, has been worth it. Instead of rushing into the relationship like so many cheap prom dates, its absence helps build the tension to a nice simmer in order to present the very sweet and silly story I was treated to last night.

Time travel plots are a natural for ‘Futurama’ since the entire concept is wrapped in the enigma of time and the frailty of the human condition. They are an easy way to allow for layered jokes that build on a single concept to reach a ridiculous outcome and create a complex plot that doesn’t make your brain explode like a potato in a microwave.

The Professor invented a time travel device, but, of course, it can only travel forward and so Fry, Bender and Farnsworth are doomed to forever move forward through the future until they reach the infinite nothingness and beyond. I love how the whole episode had the feel of an epic space journey, something that’s been missing since the new episodes started. This certainly beats any other space mission the Planet Express team has taken in the past or the future (although Bender’s short stint as a large metallic god comes pretty darn close). Heck, it beats just about every other epic journey in all of literature. This makes the ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’ look like a road trip to Duluth, Minn.

The humor also had a great sense of construction. Punchlines led to more punchlines, and bits led to more bits, like the pure genius of the ‘Planet of the Apes’ reference that had Fry reenacting the iconic Charlton Heston “Damn you all to hell” scene to every future point on the evolutionary scale. It took a great concept and found new and funnier ways to build on it until the entire scene turned into an orgy of endorphin-producing laughter.

And since this was a time travel episode that takes place almost entirely in the same spot (the loading zone of the Professor’s laboratory), we hardcore ‘Futurama’ fans were treated to a whole host of inside jokes and references to episodes dating all the way back to the very first season. Even if you didn’t watch the show regularly enough to identify them all, it made you want to find out what they were all about. That being said, I’m glad they didn’t reference the ‘Bender’s Game’ DVD movie.

Of course, the crowning jewel on this comedy tiara was its unique and always surprising ability to show a lot of heart. Fry and Leela’s relationship has always felt like a great sense of struggle, even when they were close to sealing the deal. But now that they are together, they’ve found a new way to test it and even help each other grow in the ensuing emotional chaos.

However, the best and most enjoyable parts of the whole episode goes to (sing along with me!) “B-E-N-D-E-R! BENNNNNNDER! B-E-N-D-E-R! BENNNNNNDER! Saying B…E…N…DERRERRRERRR (mute).” His character has never been more in tune this season than he was in this episode. His jokes were hilarious, and his ability to create chaos in the plot just by being himself did more than just help move things along. It completely sold the entire episode. So next time, when he’s bragging about his greatness and flinging narcissistic spitwads at every meatbag in the room, don’t buy the hype. Believe it.

‘Futurama’ Season 6 Episode 6 ‘Lethal Inspection’ Recap

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 18:53:40 +0000

For the most part, I’ve been impressed with ‘Futurama’s‘ return to the airwaves. Some episodes have been a little rocky, but there’s always more than a few bumps when a show has to penetrate the thin layer of TV’s re-entry layer.

It feels like the old show did, but something has been missing from the last few episodes: a real sense of emotion. One of the great things about ‘Futurama’ and shows like it are its surprising ability to make you feel something other than laughter. The “Jurassic Bark” episode, the one in which Fry’s dog waits for Fry’s return long after he’s been frozen in the cryogenics lab, was the closest I ever came to crying at a TV show. Thank God for man’s inability to divert tears from flowing by sheer will, even though I had to use a pair of pliers and some loose thigh skin to take my mind off of the emotional pain.

Thankfully, it returned last night.

The episode had a nice mix of comedy and adventure, as did all good ‘Futurama’ episode since it’s main focus is as a space epic in a blue collar future. However, it’s biggest strength was its sense of heart. It not only made for a nice twist that fit together a little too nicely, but it also proved that ‘Futurama’ can be much more than just a simple comedy show about robots that drink and aliens with obvious skin conditions.

This time, Bender realizes that he is just as mortal as the meatbags he works with, thanks to a flaw in his initial design. So he and Hermes set out to find his initial inspector, the fabled “Inspector No. 5,” by infiltrating the never-ending maze of paperwork and fine print that is the Central Bureaucracy.

Episodes that center around this setting are always good because they give the show a “Douglas Adams” feeling that even high speed technology and storage information can make things even more convoluted and confusing. It also sets up for great bits like the giant Rubik’s Cube-like cubicle, complete with Billy West’s dead-on Paul Lynde workmate as the “center square.” The ‘Hollywood Squares’ joke felt like I was watching an episode of ‘Family Guy’ with better plot development (really any “plot development” would be a step up from ‘Family Guy.’)

The plot moves to its road-hopping adventure tangent pretty quickly as Bender and Hermes head to Mexico to find his inspector at the Mom factory where he was born/built. The bits work pretty well. Bender’s attempt to speak Spanish had me cackling, just because John DiMaggio’s thick New York/Brooklyn voice sounded like the farther dialect possible from a Mexican accent.

I still found myself wanting more out of the road trip aspect of the episode. These two are on an adventure and it felt like it ended rather quickly, before it had much of a chance to get started. That’s just a sacrifice to the cruel and heartless gods of time that only gave ‘Futurama’ 30 minutes to get a plot going, 23 if you count the commercials.

The ending where it’s revealed that Hermes was actually Bender’s original inspector and responsible for letting him live in spite of defect felt a little too tacked together, like it had been stapled around something that didn’t quite fit and causing it tear apart at its seams. But it had such a great sense of heart that the thought quickly left my mind. It didn’t beat the lesson over your head that life is always worth living no matter how short it is by sticking to the comedy that makes the show work, like the “Killbots’” ridiculous ability to mistake gun puns for orders.

This was no “Jurassic Bark,” but the ending had plenty of bite.

Futurama Season 7 Episode 5 “The Duh-Vinci Code” Review

Sat, 17 Jul 2010 08:11:30 +0000

When Fry destroys the Professor’s precious Leonardo Da Vinci beard, he discovers a map leading to the inventor’s greatest invention. The gang looks at an old copy of The Last Supper and using a super powered x-ray, discover one of the apostles was a robot and Planet Express heads to Rome to investigate.

The gang soon meets the robot, Animatronio, who leads them to Da Vinci’s famed workshop where Fry and the Professor accidentally combined all the devices to create a spaceship that seneds them to Da Vinci’s planet, where the inventor is still alive.

It turns out Da Vinci was an alien, and actually the dumbest of his species and came to Earth where he could feel smart,
but soon got sick of being too smart. In the end he unveils his greatest invention… a Doomsday device he wants to use to get revenge on everyone that called him stupid. The Professor, who felt humiliated by also being dumb on that planet, encouraged Da Vinci, while Fry ends up stopping the machine.

‘Futurama’ Season 6 Episode 5 ‘The Duh-Vinci Code’ Recap

Fri, 16 Jul 2010 17:50:45 +0000

A friend of mine who was also a big fan of the original ‘Futurama’ before Fox kicked it out of bed quicker than one of Tiger Woods’ mistresses didn’t have any very nice things to say about the new premiere episodes. I’d reprint them here if the childhood literacy rate wasn’t so, er, darn high.

In his defense, the first two didn’t have the feel of the original series, even if they were able to stand on their own for the most part. Last night’s hilarious adventure, however, could cause him to choke on those very words he used to describe the show’s creators’ digestive systems (don’t ask).

It had just about everything that made those original shows so much fun to watch: deep creativity, adventure, pathos and lots and lots of comedy. This actually felt like the first episode so far in the new season that belonged in the show’s original run. In other words, it was just good clean fun.

The writers seem to have gotten back into the swing of the original show by playing more the characters and what makes them work so well. This time, the characters weren’t just plot drivers that helped bring the story home. They drove the humor of the show as well from major plot devices (Prof. Farnsworth’s disgust with Fry’s ignorance) to even the tiniest joke (learning that Dr. Zoidberg has a PhD in art history). Most of all, the old Bender is finally back to his full, fabulous form. He stole every chance he got, cracked inappropriate jokes at inappropriate times and laid into other people’s misery with the force of a high school linebacker.

The plot, however, moved pretty fast. Ten minutes into the episode, it felt like they had traveled halfway around the world without giving the audience time to get over the jet lag. The episode had a lot of ground to cover in a half hour and it felt like there were a lot of bits and even whole plot points that had go on the film pyre for the sake of time (guess I’ll have something to look forward to on the DVD extras). It probably could have felt less contained if they split the whole thing into two episodes, just to give it more space and ground to cover.

However, the plot twists were very inventive and tied the whole episode together nicely without trying to force them together with an acetylene torch. The idea of making da Vinci the dumbest man on a planet of know-it-alls was a brilliant twist and the discovery of his lost machine as a doomsday device set up for a great climatic ending.

And I laughed throughout this thing. Not just little tiny snickers, but great big throat laughs. The kind of laughs you save for when a friend tries to pick up a model and ends up falling off the barstool as he tries to make his big move. The kind of laughs you only have during Slim Pickens’ scenes in ‘Blazing Saddles.’ The kind of laughs that suck your attention to whatever is causing it and won’t let you go until the endorphins in your brain have fizzled away like so much carbonation in a freshly poured soda.

It had funny lines, funny twists and (my all time favorite kind of funny) funny cartoon gags like Fry failing at sitting and da Vinci getting flattened by a giant cog. If you don’t find that stuff funny, I feel sorry for you and then I laugh at you.
