My opinion of 9-26 Futurama

Spoilers, first & last warning

Episode grade -A

Note to self, in future life, ask to be Fry. :)

I kinda wish they would have called the ship, something else besides Titanic. in fact, the direct Titanic story line with Bender just didn't seem to work. Except for the "yaht club" joke, the whole relationship was predictable and the jokes stale. However, luck for us, that story was only a minor part of the whole show. The limbo back story was truely inspired. Over all, the show is improving and maturing.

(potential spoilers)

IMO, naming the ship Titanic was really, really blatant, but it really had to be done. The montage of quick cuts to faces oblivious to impending doom was classic. Of course, with such a great ship, one would wonder why anything could sink it except for human stupidity. Which it does.

You know right away that something bad is going to happen, which made it just a little funnier. Throwing in the Leo DeCaprio head in the jar bit was pretty funny.

Uh huh.
