A Clone of My Own Capsule Submission

No review today, though I have a strange urge to watch an anime cartoon that's, while not a rip-off of Pokemon (Americans knew of the other thing before Pokemon, was brought to America to capitalize of Pokemon's success.

The Professor was into Advanced Dungeons and Dragons in his earlier years? The time machine Farnsworth invented resembles that in the story by H.G. Welles? By 3000, French will become a dead language?

Comments

Meta-Humor Alert: Cubert's comment of wanting to a be a Sci-Fi Cartoon Writer is a crack at the people who write the episodes of Futurama.

The columns of pods with people in them attached by black cords who think they are somewhere else...

I would have recorded it if no one was going to do a full blown episode review.

The best reference was Captain Muskie!

Star Trek music. Captain Pike from The Menagerie (or was it The Cage? nah). A muskellunge is a pike and "muskie" is an abbreviated term. They're actually one of my favorite animals and I think I might buy a few young ones from a Muskie farm and stock the pond near my new apartment with them so they can eat ducks and stuff.

But that was a star wars reference, he even bent over the same way to turn of the camcorder!! I like how the professor mentioned Bender in his speech, and Also his comment!

People, people...every time there's a hologram it's not a reference to Star Wars. Let's get that point through our collective heads.

Sweepings Due to my controversial views on a comic strip, I have removed my old signature. Until I come up with a new signature, this will take it's place.
