Futurama 1

In this series of posts on Futurama and Rick and Morty, I establish a genre standard for animated sci fi series so that anolamies are easier to interpret.

It is difficult to match up the episodes as they are labled on Disney+ with how they are organized in the Wikipedia or DVDs. In the Wikipedia, the publishing dates don’t match up with the episode numbers, but in Disney +, the publishing dates are more chronological. I’m not sure which convention to use, so I’ll take Disney’s. This makes the straight to DVD Futurama movies from 2008 into season 6 according to Disney’s convention.

There are reasons to suspect that the season 6 straight to DVD Futurama movies may have been artificially inserted into the past pubishing record. It seems silly, but as we enter an age of AI in which copyright territory might be claimed by changing the publishing record, our systems need to develop defenses against this tactic and responses to early attacks with this strategy can make the system more robust long-term.

The crew watches a show about a dead robot while their own robot acts nuts. They get some mail. The robot’s uncle died and now he is rich.
His uncle’s town says his uncle’s castle is an evil place. They bury his evil uncle who gave his butler a pittance, his son a fortune, and the robot his creepy, haunted castle.
They spend the night and are afraid. There is a code in blood on the wall and they are chased by ghosts of robots.
The robot is hit by a ghost car and he feels terrible with nightmares. Makeup is suggested to fix his problem. He thinks the ghost is following him. He cries.
Ruffians vandalize cars and are attacked by the ghost car. The robot wakes up in a junkyard covered in brown goo. He visits a fortune telling robot who tells him he becomes the ghost car whenever he goes to sleep. To escape, he must destroy the car to get rid of their viral connection.
If he doesn’t, the attacks will become increasingly brutal. The crew plans to help him, but he turns into the ghost car before they do anything useful. He wakes up in the junkyard with Leela and Fry.
Fry is jealous that the robot didn’t try to kill him and tried to kill Leela instead.
They return to the castle to kill the car. They attack a local who they think is a werecar, but he points to a famous actor as the origin of the werecar virus.
The actor points to a car created in a lab by project Satan. The lab created car is sad and crying. They ask if he needs help to stop killing and he says that he loves killing people. The robot also likes killing people so he teams up with project Satan.
Fry hopes that the robot will try to kill him because that will mean that he thinks of him as his best friend and they can team up like with a dragon in Avata, but it isn’t working. Leela also has trouble making a connection with project Satan who drives into a furnace and dies.
This frees the robot from his killing impulses. Fry is missing and he is afraid he killed him. He didn’t and Fry is flattered that he tried to kill him. It feels like respect.

She hates Leela, the robot, and the professor (who she doesn’t recognize). She likes Amy and the Jamacian guy. The doctor is afraid of her.
She’s jttery and doesn’t understand why Fry likes these awful people or why he fits into this place while she doesn’t. She felt like she belonged in her original world.
She wants to go home and doesn’t like his world of freaks. She asks him to run off with her to another time. He thinks she wants to go to a motel and the robot can come too. She wants to go to a place with normal families and emotional commitment. He doesn’t understand what love is because he thinks all men lack a sense of loyalty to women.

Fry apologizes to Leela for tricking her into marrying him and she forgives him. He still thinks there as a trick he forgot to get her to love him. He flies the spaceship back to Earth and realizes that he moved the stars to write a love lettter for her in the sky, but it was erased by the detonation of their bomb. (Grandiose gestures really don’t compensate for fundamental problems like being a murderer or psycho brain zapper.)

The crew reminds him he can’t love a robot and show him a cautionary tale about how he will waste all of his time on a dead end relationship and neglect his civilization which will crumble.
The crew’s robot/actor is territorial about fembots. They are only meant for other actors, not for the common man.
The real Lucy Liu’s head has been in storage for a thousand years and is caused pain every time a nerd downloads a copy of her body to jerk off to. They rescue her head from the download company. She finds the crew’s robot/actor cute.

En route, they lost the robot’s head. They return to the site of the base and find his head buried in the sand for a thousand years. (Lightly encrypted stories reverse roles to make tragic events comic. So in theis story, what really happened was probably that Fry tore his trainee a new one and blamed it on someone else. He took the trainee to a secret military base to get its ass repaired. While he was there, he met up with an ex-girlfriend who was twenty years older than him (67). They had a dumb, gay son together and he caught up with him too. He felt weird after realizing that he’d been seduced by and just had sex with a grandma aged woman. This was meant to remind him of how much older he was than the trainee he had abused. While this was happening, the trainee thought she was getting her organs removed. He had told her she was an organ donor before zapping her with help from Leela.)

Walter Cronkite warns the team about murderous Santa Claus. The professor locks down the house to hide from Santa and sends the crew to deliver letters to Santa.
Fry wants to make Christmas more jolly. They meet Christmas elves that are hungry and out of work because Santa judges everyone as naughty.
They break into Santa’s ice fortress and Leela tells Santa he is naughty and must destroy himself. They blow up the fortress and escape. Santa tries to stop them and they trap him in ice. Fry delivers toys to the kids. The elves make toys for no pay.
The elf slaves are miserable and the crew acts as slave drivers. The robot tries to deliver the toys but everyone is afraid of Santa and attacks him.
The crew’s robot doesn’t like being Santa. He dumps toys into the sewers and the kids don’t like the toy propaganda. He is put on trial for the crimes of Santa and no one believes that he isn’t Santa.
The robot makes a girl with a broken arm cry because he paid her to say something and she didn’t say it because she is scared and afraid to lie.

Santa wants the robot to help him complete his Christmas rampage as Rudolph the red nosed reindeer.
They drop dirty diapers on the city. Santa kicks the robot out of his sleigh with nothing. (This shouldn’t be upsetting for me, but it is. The themes of these two episodes have come up spontaneously in wierd stories I’ve written in past months and I suspect that the events of a terrible year will be presented out of order in this season and the next. I didn’t have this sort of reaction to the previous season. In re-tellings of awful stories, people often modify them to show how the people should have reacted instead of how they actually reacted. In reality, the crew did nothing to stop the execution of an innocent person. What is more likely: that a young woman suddenly turns into a murderer when surrounded by murderers or that the murderers killed someone and blamed it on her? What is more likely: that a young woman suddenly turns into a habitual liar when surrounded by professional liars or that the professional liars lied? This isn’t rocket science, people.)

(Nothing matches up about these shows. The copyright listed in the credits is from 2001 when the air date was 2002 and it matches up with events from 2002. “Any similarity to actual person’s or events is unintentional” Unintentional my ass. I cannot understand why the air dates are all out of order in both the Disney sequence and the Wikepedia sequence. My guess is that the production code was assigned first and the air dates were assigned much later as a sort of decryption key. The DVDs didn’t get released until early 2004.)

The robot falls in love with the ship’s AI voice. He tickles her and she almost crashes the ship. Leela reminds him that it is illegal for him to get romantically involved with a ship-bound coworker. (This same storyline came up in an episode of Groening’s Disenchantment in which Elfo had a romantic relationship with his ship while pretending that the woman he was actually involved with was a lesbian.)
The robot sings love songs, dances, and picnics with the ship. Then he suddenly loses interest and decides to return to cheap floozies who he lies to about who he is. The ship sees what he is doing.
The ship contacts Fry who lies to the ship about what the robot is doing on the side. The next day, she visit the zoo with the robot, but he’s bored. He lies to her about what she saw when he was out with hookers. He also never told her about Lucy Liu.
Leelu tries to give the ship a reality check about the robot.
The emperor and his wife watch tv and receive a delivery of love notes from Leela and the robot. They don’t like the delivery because they don’t believe in love. They attack the ship while it tries to escape. While the ship flees, the robot tells her he doesn’t really like her that much. The missiles from the emperor and empress hit the ship and send her spinning.
The robot likes breakups to be as sudden and brutal as possible, but he doesn’t know that the ship is pregnant and has decided to fly into a quasar to forget him forever (this means quitting/dying and this would negatively financially impact them because she is their cash cow). This scares the robot into telling her he loves her, but she doesn’t believe him.
The ship proposes marriage to the robot and he refuses. (In Disenchantment it was the reverse. he propesed, but only to get her to finish the jobs he had lined up) I don’t think either of these scenarios had any connection to the truth. Would you want to marry a guy who used whores?)
Leela tries to stop the ship from quitting by shutting off her brain (sedating her), but the ship fights back. They are living off of money/oxygen that is only there because of the ship.
The crew talks in a place where the ship can’t hear them. To preserve their money supply, Leela plans to shut down the ship’s brain while having the robot serve as a storage device for the ship’s identity and personality so that they can re-boot her with her identity intact while she forgets about the illegal relationship she had with the robot. (They really re-wrote this part of the story to make the young woman (ship) look like a love sick fool when really she’d been broken up with via anal rape and getting pimped out to people who did serious damage to her for the purposes of torture porn. That’s a very effective way to make a woman dislike you. I bet the love letters were forgeries — even if she forgot about what he had done to her. She tolerated too much from this guy, but she was not someone who falls for people quickly.)
The robot is afraid to lose himself by absorbing the ship’s programming. He doesn’t want to change into being someone new and he felt like she was changing him. Leela is willing to take that risk. (The real risk was that the young woman (ship) would come back from Leela’s mind wipe as a completely different person. Leela was practicing extremely invasive medicine without a licence in order to preserve their funding and hide their malpractice with temp workers or trainees.)
The robot melds his mind with that of the ship and this is expressed as electrocution. This form of brainwashing would allow the robot to tell the ship what to do like an automaton so that they could complete their contract/mission. (No one would willingly consent to giving control of their mind to a bad man like that.)
Once inside her mind, the robot realizes that the ship is older than she said she was (23 instead of 18 — he was 57 and cliaiming to be 37). Meanwhile, Fry, the robot’s alter ego, is still hoping to impress Leela (40) but failing while Leela is attempting to disable the ship’s logic circuits so that she can be controlled like an automaton for the duration of their mission. (I really hope someone put Leela and Fry in jail.)
The process is making the robot paranoid that the ship is going to consume him. Fry and Leela are almost out of money/oxygen, so Fry gives Leela his oxygen supply.
By making the young woman (ship) unconscious, Fry and Leela got their oxygen/money supply back and prevented the ship from quitting the training program (entering the supernova). Fry is unconscious from too little oxygen and he was choking on a love letter. He gets resuscitated The robot emerges from his connection to the ship as a changed man. He remembers her voice and image of him. (Because they invert situations, one should imagine that the person who almost choked to death was the trainee and Fry was at fault.)
Leela empties all of the love letters into space, turning them into a vapor that destroyed many planets by inspiring silly, romantic notions and new attachments. All over the Earth, couples stood together to bask in the glow of the love letters.. even Fry and Leela. (It is really sad, a young woman’s last love song was destroyed along with her brain and her body so that old man Fry and old lady Leela got some money to continue recreating the tragedy with other young women. They are so disgusting.)

This episode is dated February 2002 and my time couldn’t have started until after July 2002, so this might have been the woman who came before me in their pipeline of destruction in which young women were lied to and mistreated, zapped out by his female partner, told she was getting married, and then handed off to her new owners in a childlike state with no memory of the relationship so that she could work with her abuser again without any romantic notions. Her memories of their time together would be attributed to her imagination and remind her of why she doesn’t want him as a romantic partner. If L is Leela, Layla, Laila, she worked with Fry for three years before M and N followed similar trajectories, except M had babies she was forced to abandon when she returned to her real life, N later became suicidal after her original romantic prospects and capabilities were systematically destroyed and she was abandoned in low wage, low-status work after she recorded a demo of original songs that she forgot she wrote when her mind was erased. O got to peform N’s songs and become mildly famous, but she got really bad dementia and abandoned her son to be raised by a pair of lesbians. She was married to a man who leached off of her and cheated on her. P is M’s daughter who was sexually abused as a child.

Once upon a time, the church of Star Trek became too powerful and this led to the banning of the mention of Star Trek. Trekies were executed by being thrown into a Tolkienesque volcano while sacred texts and episodes were banned and stored on a remote outpost.
When the robot takes the stand, Fry recovers his mental faculties. The robot claims to have only recently met Fry and that he instantly knew he was up to no good. (They were roommates and coworkers.)
Fry visited a temple in which the heads of characters from Star Trek were stored and he expressed shock about the show being cancelled. In the temple, Leonard Nimoy feigns lack of knowledge that the show ever existed. A camera points at Fry, condemning him. Nimoy is only allowed to discuss his books of poetry or his one man show. He cries as he recounts how all cast members were collected and sent in a rocket ship to a remote outpost — exiled forever. he alone remained behind.
Fry decides to fly the crew to the forbidden outpost to collect the forbidden episodes of Star Trek to give people hope for the future, even though the episodes are 800 years old. He missed the show because it taught him about valuing diversity and it made him feel like he had friends when he didn’t. The crew supports him.
The ship crash lands on the forbidden planet and sees old setups from cancelled tv shows. The original cast of Star Trek appears. They never age and have food and clothing provided.
A magic cloud appears in the sky and kills one of the Star Trek people. It gives Leonard Nimoy’s head a new body.
The cloud tells them that the Star Trek episodes rained down on his planet and that he studied them for centuries. It has planned a Star Trek convention that will last until the end of time. The cast has to perform for the cloud and participate in dumb trivia contests. The cloud is angry that Fry knows more trivia than it does. The cloud forces the cast to perform his fan script.
The crew escapes in their spaceship, leaving the Star Trek cast behind. They make a plan to destroy the cloud so that the cast won’t be tortured forever by bad scripts. Instead of killing the cloud, their attack made it stronger and crashed their spaceship again.
The cloud demands that the futurama crew fight the star trek cast to the death. They run away from one another then fight ineptly. The cloud’s mother shows up and tells him to leave the people alone. They escape by combining their ships and returning to Earth. They are chased by the cloud and are arrested by the general when they try to get his protection.
Fry encourages the cloud to get a real life and a temp job. The Star Trek cast was happy to leave their luxurious prison.

He dances and protests in front of the museum to get his pet back. He remembers the unsanitary pizza parlor and getting frozen.
He takes the dog home to be re-animated by the professor. The robot is jealous of his new pet.
His parents in the past liked his dog for singing Walking on Sunshine.
Amy and Leela wrestle while wearing sexy clothes and Fry is more interested in his dog than in watching them.
The professor takes them to the lava pit in the basement to power his cloning device. The dog is electrocuted and has a machine drill into its skull. The robot jealously throws the dog into the lava pit and Fry is furious. The professor says that the dog was made of the hardest stone and might have survived.
Fry jumps into the lava pit to rescue his dog. When Fry got frozen, the dog searched for him at a mini golf place.
The robot gives up on his dreams of being a magician and jumps into the lava pit to get the dog so that Fry doesn’t die.
The dog once found Fry in cryo storage and led his parents to him, but his parents were too dumb to see him and take him home. They took the dog home instead.
Fry learns that his dog lived for 15 years after Fry got frozen and Fry only knew him for a short time. He decides to stop the cloning procedure and leave the dog’s memories of his full life alone. Fry doesn’t know that the dog spent those fifteen years living like a bum on the street, waiting for Fry to come back and get him.

Amy got a phone call from her soldier boyfriend. He leaves messages on her answering machine that the robot always erases. He cries because he hates serving the general who is obsessed with Leela.
The crew takes a long trip and goes into hibernation. While they sleep Amy takes over the ship to visit her boyfriend.
The general is excited about the visit and hopes to hook up with sleeping Leela. She kicks him out of her bed.
Amy’s boyfriend asks her to move into his compartment on the military ship. It looks too small to her. He shows her the holodeck and they enjoy an alpine frolic or romantic tropical isle. They visit a castle. She tells him she isn’t ready to move in with him.
A bunch of villains enter the holodeck and destroy the castle. They run out to warn the general about the malfunctioning holodeck. The characters have turned real and the last time that happened, the general wound up with three paternity suits.
The villains are ejected into space and Amy’s boyfriend learns he is pregnant. He explains that he got pregnant just by touching Amy’s hand. He speculates about other sources of pregnancy: the toilet seat used by the general, anyone at a recent party.
The robot demands a paternity test conducted by the professor with a centrifuge. Fry, the doctor, the general, and Amy are ruled out as fathers. Leela is determined to be the genetic parent, but the boyfriend considers Amy to be the true parent. (Is Leela really so evil she would use an unwilling surrogate to get a baby? OR, did the professor trick her into thinking the baby was hers so that he could get her to settle down and give up mercenary work. I think the latter is more likely.)
Amy plans for motherhood with her boyfriend. Her parents are excited about getting a grandchild, even if Amy isn’t the mother. The boyfriend is very excited about marriage and fatherhood. Amy isn’t. She runs away.
There is a baby shower and Leela gives them the basket she was put in as a baby. Amy’s parents give her an ironing board.
The boyfriend returns to his homeworld to give birth. Leela offers to support him after Amy’s abandonment. He ventures into a remote wilderness to have the baby. A midwife emerges from a swamp and gives him a ritual to perform that requires a couple. He does it alone. The robot callously observes his anguish while he cries into the midwife’s tea. Amy arrives at the last minute to help him.
He gives birth to a host of tadpoles (premature infants) that Amy must protect while they make their way into a swamp puddle for final gestation. Amy and her boyfriend plan to collect the children once they climb onto land.

In this season, there are two episodes dedicated to pregnancies of male characters: Bender and Kif. None of the other seasons have this feature. Leela is given responsibility for creating the pregnancy in both cases while Amy is asked to take responsibility for it when Kif was the source of sperm that got the intern pregnant. The robot distributes the babies to injured soldiers in one episode and in another episode, he is cruel to the mother. Kif asks to marry her while the robot steps aside, even though he was involved with her in other episodes. He isn’t allowed to get married. It isn’t clear whose genetic material is in the babies. Either way, the surrogate was not consenting. This is why combining unethical brainwashing scientists with assassins on a team that does odd jobs for presidents is not a good idea.

The senile professor takes the spaceship out to hunt an old trainee gone mad. He’s a terrible driver and destroys a Star Trek space station.
The professor’s false teeth go on a rampage while he eats through a straw. The team wants to euthanize him or make him young again.
They take him to a spa that tightens his face with botox and massages his old skin. He’s prescribed a hot tar bath. The robot pumps him in the tar bath until everyone is covered in tar. They emerge in childhood forms that tend to argue.
Leela and Amy return to have a second childhood with her parents. Leela wants her parents to discipline her like a teen, but they don’t. Amy’s parents insult her pudginess. The robot threatens to be a rebel but it is only a threat. Fry asks Leela out on a date.
Leela and Fry are insulted by local kids and challenge them to a race with swamp buggies. They crash. The professor figures out how they got younger by having tar stick to their DNA. He can speed up their aging to make them how they were, but Leela would rather be a teen than grow up. Fry wants to grow up.
They are infected with a virus that was supposed to make them age but it made them even younger. They are all getting stupider. Leela has to take care of them while they think they are babies.
The professor takes everyone out to a mythical fountain of aging. It is in the worst part of the galaxy. They have to find the right amount of time to sit in the fountain of aging. Octopus man jumps in and dies, but another part of himself survived in embryonic form.
The professor jumps into the fountain and tells Leela she can go back to her family and they’ll never bother her again. She wants them to bother her a little bit. They jump in and age rapidly, but lose control. Leela ties herself to a tether to rescue them and they all make it out of the maelstrom at the right ages. The professor didn’t make it out but was rescued by one of his monstrous past trainees.
The crew is glad everything is back to normal. (The maelstrom makes me think of a post ‘training’ horror show that forced everyone to give up their childishness to survive. Without a deadly challenge, a modern person doesn’t develop and remains childish.)

Fry is ready for a delivery mission to a dragon. Leela did it without him and got a medal. He asks her out on a date but she has another date with a mayor’s assistant. Fry watches tv.
She sees Fry at a bar and asks him to feed her pet while she stays out all night. Fry gets a ticket for dog poop and is startled when the pet talks to him and kidnapps him in his spaceship.
He is introduced to a council of super powerful aliens. They call him mighty and that the fate of the universe is in his hands. This makes him happy. He watches them eat exotic animals.
They tell him about the attack of the flying brains that made everyone dumb except for him because he lacks the delta wave — because he is his own grandfather.
The brains have collected all of the world’s knowledge in an infosphere and plan to sequester it there while suppressing any new knowledge from outside the sphere by destroying the universe.
Fry is given a mission ot blow up the sphere and dropped into space. He avoids detection because he is so stupid. Inside the sphere, he gets stuck in the brain. He pauses to ask the brain some questions and is attacked by a group of young brains who are sure he can’t escape.
He presses the detonator and the young brains tell him that he will be transported with them to another realm from which none of them will be able to escape and in which he will always be an outsider due to his brain structure. He accepts this fate because he wants to save the world. The alien pets cheer.
The young brain tells Fry to ask the giant brain about the day he got frozen. The aliens don’t want him to know this. He is given a vision of himself delivering a pizza and seeing the alien pet push him into the cryogenic chamber. He is angry with the alien pets. They say they needed him. He says his life was stolen from him.
The detonation transports the brain to a place where it will be trapped for an eternity. The giant brain offers to transport Fry back to 1999 when he was frozen and he could stop the alien pet from pushing him into the tube, but this would mean that the giant brain would take over the future and he woud never save the universe.
Leela is having fun on her date with the mayor’s assistant. They go skating on a private rink. The orphans miss their chance to skate. Leela insists that they should be allowed to skate and her date shows her that he is an awful person.
Fry is sent back to the past and can stop the alien pets from setting up a trap for him. He can rescue himself in the past but die in the future. The alien pets can’t do time travel, but they can view the future via prophecies.
Fry chokes the alien pet for using him and the pet tells him he should go back to the future to be with Leela and save her. He chooses to freeze himself in the past and return to the future where he is given a better escape vehicle from the infosphere.
Fry was happy to assist the alien pets, but because the pet needs to remain undercover, he gives Fry brain damage to forget the whole incident. He gives Leela a flower and she likes him better than her date.

The robot plavs video game golf and the professor tells them they aren’t good enough for a mission he had. Leela wants to do the mission to prove she’s tough. The mission is to steal honey from a colony of giant, murder bees.
Leela makes everyone go when they don’t want to. The last crew to attempt it died. They dress like bees. The robot does a dance to communicate with them. They encounter the last crew’s ship and listen to their final death cries in a recording, yet they continue on because of Leela.
Fry falls in royal jelly and Leela wants to steal a baby queen to found their own hive. The robot insults the hive’s old queen and they are attacked. They fly back to their space ship with the baby queen while leaving the robot behind. The robot makes it back and they escape.
Fry disapproves of how reckless Leela is and she tells him he is dumb. The baby queen she stole grew a stinger and stabbed Fry through the heart, so the robot ejected it into space where it was hit by a car and forgot all about them. The bee was ejected to the tune of Walkin on Sunshine. (Something similar happened in the episode in which the AI in the ship fell in love with the robot. These stories are two sides of one coin and in both stories, Leela is the villain who erases minds or gets kidnapped queen bees hit by cars.)
Fry is dead and the robot cries. They hold a funeral for Fry and Leela cries. The clergyman tells everyone that Fry died within 15 seconds but the pain was so intense it felt like 15 years and caused him to poop in his pants. His body was ejected into space. (I think this represents what it feels like to be electrocuted to death. The victim poops from pain.)
The robot cries that Fry was the only person he cared about in the whole world. (It was the robot’s nice guy, young man identity.)
Leela sits with her pet and eats space honey to feel better. It makes her feel high. Then she passses out. She dreams that Fry is still alive. He tells her there is a surprise for her in her locker. She checks her locker and finds nothing.
The robot had already gotten the present Fry had left for her. She thinks this proves Fry is alive somewhere. (I think it proves that the robot and the pet are Fry’s alter egos and that these people are really lame about creating drama where none exists.. unless the pet is not Fry. Then there is some drama. I think this story just represents an old dude’s realization that he couldn’t pretend to be thirty years old anymore and that seducing, kidnapping, and electrocuting baby queen bees to death was wrong.)
The professor attempts to chop off Leela’s head in a guillotine to study it. He insists Fry is dead and nothing will bring him back. Leela won’t believe it since Fry talked to her in her dreams again. She woke up with his jacket and then it disapppeared. Recall that Leela is mourning a man who pretended to be a good guy while he lured young women to their doom. He was duplicitous and evil.
Leela is warned that if she takes three spoonfuls of space honey, she’ll die. She takes two and spills some royal jelly. This brings Fry back to life. Leela realizes this was all a dream.
She dreams about bees stinging her friends and making them explode. She dreams that she goes out to exhume Fry’s coffin because she feels responsible for his death. She almost takes the third spoonful of death honey and Fry tells her not to stay in a coma forever.
She wakes up in a hospital with Fry alive. She was in a coma for two weeks from the bee sting and Fry talked to her nonstop.
This episode is dated from 1 June, 2003 the similar episode is from February 10, but it focused on how Leela increasingly disabled the brain of a female slave on their ship during a mission while a guy professed his love for her so that she didn’t die or refuse to complete the jobs they had lined up for her. In this later episode, the bee hive sounds a lot like the lab where I worked and where I was a baby queen (SLAC). There was also a ‘son’ who died that year because they blamed him for something that his ‘father’ did. His ‘mother’ mourned him and he might have been handed over to an insane asylum and electrocuted to death, or it was just an old man killing of f his young man identity. That was how they did things with prisoners they borrowed to staff their crews. I really don’t know what happened, but I remember crying and believing I was going to be executed. I remember crying like a baby and having the electrodes placed on my head while under a death sentence. I remember that distinctly. In an encryption scheme where the victim is invisible and represented by those who hurt the victim, this show implies that Leela is responsible for putting the intern in a two week coma after Fry stung her (ass rape probably). Leela would also be responsible for getting the intern executed in a painful way, making the intern believe she was responsible for a man’s death when he wasn’t really dead, and for trying to give the intern’s brain to a scientist who wanted to do research with it. I think this is why I hate Leela. I picture her as a nasty, tall fake readhead or blonde who became a bodybuilder. She was practically a man and had fake boobs. The ‘president’ woman on the battlestar galactica was different but also bad. Leela was her boss and did prisoner delivery and some missions.)

The world is ending and Fry asks Leela out for a date. She says no but confesses that the real reason is that she has a rash on her boob.
The professor tells the crew to throw a box into the sun to save the world. They are forbidden to look into the box. Leela is given the job of protecting the box from curiosity.
The robot steals it while she is sleeping. The box contains tangled Christmas lights. Leela left out a decoy box.
Leela looks in the box and falls into it. She lands in a prallel dimension/crew. She meets an evil twin of herself.
The professor sends Leela’s twin into the parallel universe to collect the crew. Leela fights against her copy.
The crews argue over which universe is superior. The professors are paranoid that the other crew will destroy the box containing their universe. In the parallel universe Leela and Fry were married when he gave her a diamond hair scrunchie. (That means it is a cover/pretend marriage.)
The robots steal one another’s wallets. Amy hates her twin because she is critical of her. The octopus men commiserate over being failures.
The differences between the universes are attributed to decisions made based on coin flips.
The professors read the bible and decide that no one is evil and no one will destroy another universe.
The crew member they left behind attempts to complete the mission of destroying the box with his crew in it. This would trap the crew in the parallel universe.
The professor makes another box containng their own universe. They make infinite universes. The boxes of universes get jumbled and some of the crew members get lost in them.. They explore the universes in search of them. In one universe everyone on the crew was blind. In another they were all robots. They use a tether to find their way back.
In one universe Amy is the hippie professor’s black girlfriend.
They all return to their original universe before Hermes throws them all into the sun. Hermes sees them return and still considers murdering all of them by ejecting them into the sun.
Leela agrees to go out with Fry. The professor trades boxes with the other universe so that they have a box containing their own universe. Shaking it causes an earthquake. They use it as a chair.

The robot considers the category of hookers he wants to purchase while Leela wants to go swimming with a whale. The janitor gets hair plugs. Fry buys cups of coffee (crack). Amy doesn’t think it is much money because her parents are rich.
The general asks Leela out on a date and she agrees even though she doesn’t want to go. Amy and her boyfriend go out in a glider trip he bought for them while Amy spent her money on a talking tattoo of the devil.
The professor buys a vat of stem cells and is warned that the age reversing effects are temporary. The robot buys tools to steal an expensive cigar. Hermes buys expensive stilts that are dangerous. Octopus man buys fancy rings.
Leela buys a ticket to swim with a whale at a theme park. The whale biologist is rude to her. She had hoped she’d get to see a whale in the wild, but everythng about this world was rotten.
Amy’s boyfriend bought her a watch and they avoid crashing their glider, but the watch falls into the mouth of a whale. He cries.
The ancient professor uses his temporary, stem cell youth to date a skanky punk rock teen. (I think the men are all alter egos of one guy, illustrating how he spent the money he embezzled from selling young women as slaves and stealing their pensions.)
Octopus man is not impressed with rich people’s food. It looks like garbage. The robot was filmed stealing the fancy cigar and the police chase him. He threw a diamond in the trash to get the cigar.
Leela and Amy collect rotten fish to make the whale vomit up her boyfriend’s watch. Fry is strung out on speed.
Leela stuffs her swimming suit with rotten fish to get Amy’s watch back and the whale biologist insults her for being lumpy and stinky. The whale eats her swimming suit. The narcissistic whale biologist insults her now missing swimming suit and she wraps herself in trash.
The whale vomits in front of an audience. It vomits for a long time. Amy’s boyfriend jumps into the aquarium to get the watch. He is arrested for entering the aquarium and the watch breaks.
The general presents a tapestry he commissioned describing his conquests. Octopus man is disappointed that he doesn’t have enough money to buy it. For those in charge, money is worthless.

In exchange for the boyfriend’s release, the whale biologist wants the goo covering the boyfriend because whale vomit is an expensive commodity. The boyfriend sheds his skin and gives it to the biologist.
The ancient professor’s face falls apart as the stem cells die and he runs away from his teen girlfriend. She reveals that she is only temporarily thin from a medical treatment and that she blimps out when it wears off. She becomes morbidly obese. In their new forms, they continue making out.
Amy’s boyfriend gives her an expensive perfume and when she puts it on, everyone at the party complains that it smells like fish. She is happy to have her boyfriend back.
The robot smokes his cigar and sets the general’s heroic tapestry on fire. Fry takes more speed and uses his super speed to rescue everyone at the art show from the flames.
The judge who condemned innocent people to death is at the art show. Hermes’ son invests money in Amazon stock.
Octopus man spends his money on food for bums. The rich party goers eat hot dogs with the bums.
They discuss the lessons learned and stories that lacked closure. (I identified with the whale, the diamond, and the cigar in this story. Eating a fishy ho would make anyone vomit. Maybe I was Fry for a while too. Adderall and coffee would be useful after a coma, although I don’t remember any of this from real life.)

The crew goes hiking and the robot enjoyed scaring birds. Everyone has gotten fat and the robot declines to cuddle with octopus man.
Fry thinks about bigfoot legends. A park ranger sells an exer-cycle and dreams of bigfoot. They watch satellites in the sky. Fry and the robot sleep alone. Leela and Amy are now gay.
Fry speaks to bigfoot about his hopes for bigfoot’s life. He wanted to set up video cameras to look for bigfoot, but it was too expensive. He is sucked up into an alien spaceship. The crew wonders where he went.
Fry returns with his nose missing. He is given a prosthetic nose. They learn from the news that aliens stole his nose to use as a sex toy in alien porn.
The crew visits a market of body parts. They visit a sex shop to find the black market porn nose. They can’t find it, but they get a video of the man who purchased the porn nose. It was the married emperor. His wife wasn’t impressed with his sexual performance and used the nose to get off.
The crew visits the emperor and ask to have the nose returned. Fry gets his nose back and a spot on the right cheek of his face is marked with a burn from a laser.
The emperor is surprised to find out that the nose is not the primary sex organ and wants to cut off Fry’s penis as a sex aid. Fry offers his nose instead.
Leela suggests that the emperor’s relationship issues can’t be solved with abusive porn. His wife wants poems and nurturing. He wants to crush bunnies and plagiarize poems to trick women.
Fry and Leela suggest a romantic escape in the mountains. Fry serves the emperor and empress a romantic dinner, but it doesn’t go well. The couple insults one another’s fatness and insists on watching Fry get cut up so that they can eat him.
Leela tries to distract them by singing ‘I will always love you’, but her loud bleating is awful. Fry’s cage is thrown down the mountain and he survives.
A cutting machine is lowered onto Fry’s body and bigfoot appears. The emperor finds him adorable and the ranger takes photos. He tries to shoot him with a tranquilizer to get a cast of his feet and the emperor stops him.
The emperor realizes that he doesn’t want to be like the ranger with his foot fetish and decides not to cut off Fry’s penis. His wife is impressed with his sudden religious sense of the divine and they have sex. The crew runs away.

I think this means that the female intrn only narrowly avoided being turned into a man in order to satisfy the boss’s wierd fetish about turning her into a twink.

The setting is the 3004 Olympic Games and the robot is being rewarded for what he did in 2002-2003.
Many of the countries in the Olympics are tiny, island nations no one has heard of. Hermes wants to compete in the limbo, but he is fat. He is mocked by a slim man from Barbados. He loses because his supersuit malfunctions.
The robot wants to compete but is only strong enough to compete with the women. He is so ashamed of his low performance in feats of strength he wishes everyone else were dead. He settles for being celebrated as a super, strong woman instead. He asks the professor for a sex change operation and Fry watches the brutal operation with curiosity. He’s warned it could be irreversible.
The robot enjoys being on a stage with medals while the women on the crew are angry that the robot’s floozy grandstanding is making women look like jerks.
The robot asks to be changed back into a man after he goes on a talk show where he objectifies his boobs and butt. The crowd likes it. He then falls for a famous movie star.
For once the robot wants to eat dinner with a celebrity who isn’t bound and gagged. He dresses like a tramp for his date. Fry is worried that the robot will get raped on the date (or get a potato up the tailpipe). The professor says the robot is becoming a slave to his emotions like all women.
The robot pigs out on the date and the movie star is impressed by how well the robot understands the male mind. The robot hangs out on the movie star’s yacht and goes dancing with him. The movie star showers the robot with gifts and proposes marriage. The robot accepts because he wants to be a gold digger, divorce him, and turn back into a man.
They go on a hot air balloon ride. She doesn’t believe the actor loves her but he claims he would give up show business to be with her — when he’d once told her he would never quit showbusiness. She hugs him, but is afraid she can’t go through with the marriage because she doesn’t want to hurt him when he’d been so nice to her (the robot).
The profesor tells the crying, guilt stricken robot that he’s been in character too long and is forgetting who he really is. Leela offers to help him get out of the situation because she is certain that the actor can tolerate soap opera pain.
The robot has a big wedding and reads corny vows. On the altar, the robot then pretends to be sick with a fatal, tropical disease. Then Fry feigns an assassination attempt. The robot professes his love and then fakes his death.
The famous actor creates a movie based on the experience.
The professor operates on the robot to change him back to his male identity. He now wants to go find some floozies. He still cries when he sees the actor’s movie about their doomed marriage.

This matches up with the story in Echo Wife in which a man’s brain zapping ex-wife helps his pregnant bride fake her death and escape while leaving behind her baby. But in all of my stories, she didn’t intend to fake her death and either the woman or the couple faked her suicide because she had rejected marriage proposals and been abused by them in illegal, off the books ways for their personal profit — and they needed to make sure she didn’t tell anyone or remember it. Meanwhile, they held her passport and sanity hostage. The point is that they lied in their documentation and claimed to be faking her death for her benefit when they had sold her pregnant body to organ traffickers who then gave her to a military contractor that wanted to send her into a war zone as a pregnant cover bride. When she ran away, she was made to look like a drug addict and put in ‘rehab’ — a bad place. I don’t doubt that a man would feel a bit broken up and guilty over tricking a woman with a marriage proposal so that she could be more easily led to her demise, but this was standard operating procedure. She got multiple marriage proposals in this context from different guys.

Fry goes to a robot convention and has to pay an entrance fee because he has a soul. A scientist advertises his killbots that look scary but hate violence. The professor and scientist hit one another.
The robot corp CEO introduces her new, floating robot. It is green (doesn’t pollute or consume), while the older models run on alcohol and emit toxic gas. The new robot does jobs diligently, while the old model steals money and doesn’t do jobs.
The crew gets a new robot that keeps things tidy. The old robot installs a satellite dish. The new robot helps and saves the old robot’s life. The old robot feels like obsolete garbage. The crew treats the new robot as a mindless tool while the old robot is afraid of the new robot.
The professor insists on an upgrade of the old robot, so he goes to the robot factory where he watches other robots get their brains electrocuted and reprogarammed to not fear the new robot models that are there to replace them. Before the old robot’s reprogramming is complete, he jumps out of a window to escape. He is too afraid of the brain damage to stay with the crew and will only be accepted by them if he gets it, so he gets on a boat and leaves.
In a short story, I wrote, a woman jumped out of a window after a man had blinded her, proposed marriage, and taken her to a foriegn island where he was unfaithful to her and speaking a language she didn’t know. She didn’t like being blind and trapped. She broke her arm and got new eyes. This is what happens when a crew sends an obsolete robot out for reprogramming and gets a replacement. Isn’t it funny how they downplay the robot’s lack of autonomy and their heartlessness?
After a storm, he washes up on an island and makes a HELP sign. He digs up yams and is upset that there is no electricity for his blender. He dreams of beer.
He meets a community of obsolete robots who had been dumped on the island. They live a low tech life. They are sad that they lack memories of their past lives. The robot is upset that there is no entertainment. They watch a snail crawl for hours. The robot has a sound system, but the other robots prefer the ocean sounds, so he throws it away.
He finds a washing machine and throws it away. he hates himself for being a robot because he hates all technology. He downgrades himself into a wooden form and plans to invade the technological world using a submarine they built.
They run arround the city vandalizing stores and labs. He even steals the orphans’ electricity. The others want to return to their island, but the robot wants to attack his old workplace. He takes out their power.
Without power, the professor thinks he is blind. The robot announces that he is there to free them from their technological lives. His new crew is told to fire at the new robot, but instead, they destroy the ship. he has to rescue his old crew, but his downgrades make him unable to help them. He’s attacked by termites and is set on fire. The new robot saves everyone and fixes the ship.
The old robot lies in a pile of ashes and claims to now like the new robot. He goes to the factory to get a new body and postive attitude. He remembers betraying his crew but all is forgiven because of the upgrade. He’s told that the betrayal never happened. He worries his whole history and worldview is artificially programmed.
He walks out into a trashy city street and imagines that it is a beautiful fantasy land.

This story reads as artificial because it demonizes a victim and created a narrative of vengeance when demoralization is the more likely reaction to rejection. Assholes pre-emptively strike and then they expect vengeance. These people were assholes.

The crew watches a robot soap opera in which the son can’t remember his father, the father is surprised that his wife is cheating on him and isn’t Egyptian, and the mother almost kills the son because she has amnesia. Everyone on the show has amnesia.
The kids watch the show and want to have amnesia and big birthday parties with lots of drugs too. The professor’s son/clone is sad that he doesn’t have a birthday. They throw him a birthday party, but no one comes.
The soap opera father is almost told a secret by his son when the son glitches and can’t speak. The show needs a replacement robot child and the crew’s robot wants to audition. Fry warns him that he has too much competition for the job. He uses fake advetising to disparage the others and get the job.
The robot is a bad actor so they put him into a coma for the job. He refuses to stay in a coma for the scene and gets up to dance and party. (I’m sure comas are totally safe to use for actors. This story also looks like an elaborate lie. I wrote a story in which a young woman was put into a coma and everyone was told she was brain dead so that she could be sent to an organ donor hospital in south america where she woke up after an injection of speed and had to drive an injured man to the coast to escape.)
The actor in the scene with the robot refuses to shoot it again, even though the dancing ruined it. The robot is also accused of (filmed?) stealing stuff from the actor’s dressing room for no reason at all. The actor demands that the robot is fired.
The network executive shows up to plan the fall schedule. The robot’s performance was popular with audiences and they want more of it, so he won’t be fired. He’s asked to act like a bad-boy character who commits petty crimes constantly. (This surely won’t be used in a later trial to create a fraudulent character profile of the robot. I think this is what happens when an agency selectively hires people with criminal temperments. They cover their asses by framing innocents.)
Kids think the robot’s bad behavior is cool. They start to smoke but it makes them puke. He sets himself on fire and audiences protest his influence on kids. The kids decide to rob the robot to immitate his bad behavior. The kids disguise themselves as the robot to commit robberies.
Now the kids are rich and popular. Everyone comes to their party. The professor doesn’t understand how they made this happen. The octopus wants to party with the kids and sees nothing wrong with that.
When the robot notices that the kids stole his stuff, he protests his own television show and wants it to be taken off the air. The network wants more nasty material out of the robot and holds him at gunpoint with a camera in his face.
The professor points a gun at the robot to insist that he stop getting filmed smoking and drinking. The robot steals their guns and rants about how he doesn’t want filthy tv being shown to children. He asks parents to turn off their tvs for the kids’ sake.

The story where the child throws a birthday party and no one comes also happened in Arrested Development. Maebe was blamed. If the intern was a victim of this, then they blamed another intern who had agreed to be mean for no reason. I guess they were testing people’s willingness to cooperate with sadists in order to be accepted by them.

Fry and the robot live in crappy city barracks. Fry is taking lessons in a futuristic artform and misses how Leela liked him when he was smarter. He has a preformace and is the oldest performance.
The robot calls his occupation: love machine. Fry scares the audience with stories about disgusting things happeneing that they don’t want to know about. His teacher rejects him.
Fry likes the artform because he has lots of great ideas but his hands can’t keep up. Leela gushes about her musician ex-boyfriend.
Fry makes a deal with the robot devil to become a better artist. The devil mocks him and gives him a pair of robot hands. The devil gets the set of hands by stealing them from a random robot who has the talent he seeks. (This is sort of like getting a machine that plagiarizes and doesn’t tell you the source.)
He signs a contract absolving the devil of responsibility of any crimes he commits with the robot hands. Due to a lucky stroke of chance, he exchanges hands with the robot devil himself. He can now do lots of tricks.
The robot visits Fry to beg to have his hands back and undo their contract, but Fry says no. Fry becomes famous as an artist by using the devil’s hands.
A perverted, hedonism bot commissions Fry to write an opera. He agrees to write an opera about Leela. He doesn’t want her to listen until it is done.
The devil offers the robot a deal in exchange for his hands, but the robot rejects him. The devil gives the robot an idea for how to be more annoying with a loudspeaker. This made Leela deaf so that she can’t hear Fry’s opera. She keeps her deafness a secret.
Fry’s opera about Leela is silly, but people like it. The devil offers Leela robotic ears in exchange for her left hand. She agrees.
The devil doesn’t like seeing himself mocked on stage. He crashes the performance and criticizes it, demanding his hands back. The performance becomes a live, reality-based pantomime/opera. The devil insists Leela agreed to marry the devil and give her hand in marriage.
Fry must give the devil back his hands if he wants Leela. The audience cheers. Fry trades back his hands and frees Leela. The devil goes back home for poker night with the president. Fry tries to finish the opera by creating it with his own hands and the audience jeers. Leela asks him to show her the end of the story.
He sketches out a childish, happy ending.

It might be worth noting that the female protagonist of Disenchantment also almost had to marry the devil because of her mother, queen of purgatory, but the devil was something like Hermes in that story (Hermes got a promotion). Since that is more of a future scenario, I feel like the devil is Ned Flanders in this past scenario. Marge does eventually end up marrying him, but he has something like 80 wives while Homer/Fry goes to heaven and eats his wings.. speaking of which, there is a new delivery restaurant that specializes in fresh tortilla wraps and spicy fried chicken/wings. I’m tempted. Is this heaven? From the perspective of people in hell, I’m in hell while they think they are in heaven because they like drugs and rock and roll more than rollerskating, happy kids and spicy chicken wings. Heck. Maybe they have spicy chicken wings in hell, too. Maybe heaven and hell are just a state of mind and acceptance of reality. Deluded people are in hell.

That was season 5.

….

IMDB lists season 6 as occuring in 2008-2009 and I used their dates for the previous seasons since I think they represent the period being documented rather than the actual production of the episodes which appear too have been modified in subsequent years. I believe these people can insert episodes or even seasons into the past publishing record. In terms of the story arcs, they don’t blend well between seasons 5 and 7 and look more like a standalone, sugar coated retrospective that offers explanations for the mistakes made witin seasons 4-5 regarding orphan babies and invisible interns who got ejected into space like an unwanted insect or treated like a broken down spaceship AI.

I used the wiki publication date below, even though it overlaps with the IMDB publication date of Season 7 which the Wiki moved to 2012. There appears to be some disagreement over their documentation conventions or about when it is appropriate to change publishing dates to match the dates of the events being documented.

Bender protects the owners from Leela’s rage. Leela goes out with the bald guy and Fry is upset. (I think the bald guy is Fry’s real identity sas an old guy and he’s upset that his prisoner accepts his identity as a warden. She’s supposed to think of him as a fellow prisoner.)
The new owners search the firm for information and find DNA and original identity info for the employees. They study the tattoo on Fry’s butt. It contains a code in binary that tells the secret of time travel.
Leela’s baby pet warns them not to use the code because each use risks complete annihilation. The new owners decide that using it up to 6 times on an individual is acceptable. The baby-pet says even a single use is unethically high risk. He calls in his alien army to attack but they are defeated.

Bender hates his new bosses because they won’t let him have porn or his friendly, Fry normal/young guy identity to lure in innocent victims. Leela holds a funeral for Fry. She likes his new, bald guy, breaking bad identity.
Fry lives in the past and uses time travel to get to eat his pizza sooner. When he returns to the future, Bender tries to kill him again. He cries about his depressing life in the past and returns to the future where they remove his time travel tattoo and leave him with 40% of his rectum. The new owners arrive and can no longer find evidence of Fry’s time traveller identity, so they leave without killing him, but first they fire everyone.
Fry returns to the past and has to let go of his love for Leela because she lives in the future. He decides to adopt a depressed, motherless, female narwhal in an aquarium (jail/asylum). He gets a job there despite no qualifications.
Leela and the bald guy go on a date at the head museum (prison for thinkers). He shows her a terrarium full of screaming skeleton people and looks like a warden at a death camp who is systematically terrorizing Leela, except that Leela likes it. She is kicked out of her apartment and is now his girlfriend. She agrees to marry him. He takes her out to eat.
Everyone else on the crew is homeless. Santa hunts them down. Fry misses Leela but enjoys his job with the narwhal. He is now the assistant director of the aquarium (he’s also a type of prison warden). He is required to help the narwhal get released into the wild at the north pole and has been feeding her for years 2004-2012.
Fry is determined to stop Leela’s marriage to the bald guy. If these guys are alter egoes and he thinks of Leela as a narwhal while she thinks of him as a death camp commandant husband, this is really messed up.
Fry is determined to recapture the narwhal from the wild. He enlists the help of a sleazy boat captain to help kidnap her and keep her in his apartment. He finds her at the north pole in 2012 and captures her in a net.
Hermes gets his wife back at Leela’s wedding to the bald guy, but is decapitated and electrocuted when a chandelier falls. The bald guy finds this unlucky and cancels the wedding. Leela cries.

This lines up with my belief that Leela is the same person as Ellen Tigh of Battlestar Galactica while Fry would be Lee on a sex holiday in a Westworld rehab prison. I wonder if he is also the same guy as The Deep in The Boys. He also had a whale girlfriend and worked in an aquarium. These personalities don’t totally match up with Tobias/GOB from Arrested Development. I think I might have conflated two different yet linked working groups.

Santa prepares the elves, zombies, and storm troopers for war against the scammers. Leela prepares to lead her elf troops when Zapp steals her thunder to announce his new children’s brigade. They are still outgunned by the scammers.
Hermes takes over the attack coordination and they succeed, but the scammers think they have a doomsday device. Leela refuses to negotiate. Bender uses the doomsday device he stole to blow them up.
Leela is sure she will never love again after losing the bald guy. Fry tries to get Leela back together with him, but the bald guy confesses that he is gay and can’t get off with a woman without a sadistic power struggle. Fry lost his time travel tattoo and it wound up on the bald guy’s butt because Fry became the bald guy and woke up in the future with Fry’s ex girlfriend who he was dating while he was engaged to Leela. A younger guy was playing his old role and having sex with Leela, so he gave up on his relationship with Leela. I think he just didn’t want her or didn’t want the temptation to murder her to get out of a marriage and made up a time-travel excuse. (This lines up with the plot of the movie Closer.)
Fry sets his narwhal girlfriend free to be with her narwhal boyfriend in the wild and cries.
Fry has a funeral for his bald, gay self. Bender goes back in time to tattoo a time code on someone’s butt. He takes too many time travel trips and messes up his brain with multiple identities. (When he doesn’t feel young and sexy and is forced to marry Leela, he turns gay.)

The professor assures everyone that the physics anomaly is extremely dangerous and that they must tear it apart. (The girlfriend is the physics anomaly because she knows things that make her future unpredictable.)
Leela mocks Fry’s dilema over having too many girlfriends/identities and a temporary girlfriend who is on the market.
Kif assures Fry that if he loves the girlfriend, things will work out. He takes a room in her apartment/barracks with her other boyfriends. She just became the chief of police and has a date with a new guy, so Fry broke up with her. (If this is a gender reversal of Fry’s situation, why would any city make a guy chief of police when he has five, live-in girlfriends or undercover hos given to him by a cia lady who collected them from abroad to serve as spies? This sort of leadership and corruption would explain why 1/5 male police officers in London have sexual harrassment or assault accusations in their records. Maybe it also represents what it is like for a guy to date a female, CIA station chief who is allowed to give brain damage to the girlfriends she gave him to manage. Maybe it is a mix.)
The crew apporaches the anomally and Bender shows it his butt. It zaps him and sends the crew spinning.

This is an attempt to make a sleaze identify with those he victimized: young college graduates sent to him by the state for ‘training’ and who he seduced, abused, and brainwashed so that they could work for him as whores while he maintained a parallel life as a respectable man with a wife and child. He was a state-supported pimp who produced torture porn as blackmail material. If someone wants to be a sleazebag, I think that’s fine. I just don’t think he should be allowed to have a state-supprted cover of normalcy with a wife, child, and high status job. If you take the sleazebag job, you’re a sleaze and you shouldn’t be able to wash that off easily, nor should those who covered for him. You can throw cash around to compensate the sleaze for whatever necessary function he provides, but you shouldn’t let him pretend to be a good guy in parallel. Confessing sins doesn’t mean they are forgotten and if a young woman wants to mess around with a sleaze, she shouldn’t have to face the wrath of the man’s good guy cover.

After showing the anomally his butt, Bender wakes up in the hospital with no memory of what happened afterwords. Calculon visits him to cheer him up. He turns into Calculon’s stalker. Calculon gets mobbed at a doctor’s office where he got a new penis. Calculon wakes up with Bender in his bed and appoints him as his official stalker. Calculon disillusions him about robot lore and this makes him suicidal. There is no robot paradise awaiting him. His suicide attempt sends him to a secret clubroom for robots. He is given a series of tests that involve drinking alcohol. The club is elitist and boring. Bender objects to robots who have stolen human body parts and expels them from the organization. (I think this is one of the stories in which the person responsile for the crime against an intern is depicted as the victim of the crime. The anomaly shows Bender its butt and wakes up in the hospital with amnesia. A movie star appears and takes the anomaly home while telling others that she is stalking him. Someone comes to take the anomally away to fake her suicide so that she canlose her identity and be placed on a ship where she is forced to drink and service the crew.)
Fry’s girlfriend acts sad about Fry leaving, but then runs back to her four other boyfriends.
Zapp preaches the virtues of violence and his soldiers beat the scientists.
Amy bids adieu to Kif when he leaves with Zapp on his ship. Kif dies and is poured into his swamp at a funeral where Amy cries. We learn that dead bodies suffer for 6 hours after death.
The professor discovers that electrical devices can’t pass through the anomaly, but living beings can. Fry is launched into the anomaly as an experiment. Zapp sends a missile with him. Fry passes through while the missile is reflected. (Necrophilia resurrection experiments, obviously.)
Fry is running out of oxygen and approaches a giant space egg. (He gets the intern pregnant.)
Leela brings the professor a cake in prison. The cake transforms into a scent telescope that they use to make a discovery. They use a wish to summon a dragon that takes them to the president with their discovery. (A woman brings a cake to a one armed man in Men in Black 3. It might be related. The man who was freed from the prison goes out to stop a Fry character.)

Fry awoke the space egg and it emerges from the anomaly. Zapp fights against it. The professor builds a diamond protective layer around the earth, but the egg monster breaks through it. Fry uses the event to tell the world that they should love the alien baby. The tentacle baby attaches to everyone and makes them love it. Leela threatens to kill Fry and tries to kill the baby. (Fry got the intern pregnant and the secret is out.)
Bender wants to know when the robots will massacre the humans and is told that the robot club doesn’t kill, except for sick, innocent girl scouts occasionally.
Bender is annoyed that Fry is neglecting his hooker addiction and is now the pope of a new religion he is trying to spread to China. He uses his religion to get revenge on the girlfriend who rejected him for four other boyfriends. He agrees that focusing love on one person isn’t important and makes her love the tentacle baby.
Zapp, Leela, and Amy are the only ones not affected. They take refuge in Bender’s robot club. He kicks them out. They hide in the wilderness. Zapp and Amy have extramarital sex and get attached to the tentacle baby too. It provides a constant sense of comfort without effort. Leela is holding out for a rich vampire instead.
Leela tricks everyone into thinking she is connected to the tentacle when she visits Fry as he preaches a nouveau Judeochristian religion. Leela lets the congregation know that their cult leader, Fry, was just using the religion of free love to have sex with everyone.

The movie, Anon, gives another angle on this storyline and it depicts a British police guy who treats the young women who are sent to him from the US for evaluation or training as whores. A ditsy blonde with an ugly face plays the whore role without shame and is quickly passed along without serious injury to get married to someone while a serious science girl with a pretty face plays the role reluctantly and has to fight for her life in a foreign country while dealing with him in the role of sexual sadist. An FBI guy watches the situation without helping her and the woman isn’t sure she can trust him because he also wants to use her in operations that could get her killed. To complicate matters, they both claim to have an estranged wife and child. The ditsy blonde was okay with enabling bad behavior and the scientist wasn’t, so they tried to brainwash her and abuse her until she changed, but she wouldn’t, so they destroyed her brain.

The cult beats up Fry for tricking them with mind control while his tentacle explains that it only screwed people because they looked provocative and that every single person he screwed was his soul mate.
He doesn’t think he hurt anyone and Amy points out that her husband died after attacking him. He apologizes and resurrects the boyfriend.
He asks to start over as friends and see where things go (passive agressive break up). Amy’s relationship doesn’t recover from the intrusion of the tentacle which leaves messages on the answering machine asking for a hookup.

The tentacle monster offers Fry a giant diamond ring when he tries to break up with it.
Fry makes a presidential announcement that is interrupted by Bender’s robot army. Bender would have taken over the world, but Fry’s marriage to the tentacle monster prevented this. (Orphan assassins would have been a problem without internet addiction).
The tentacle monster offers golden escalators to the heavens. No one knows where they go, but they all climb onboard. They leave earth to the robots. Bender wants to go to heaven but can’t.
The residents of heaven only have to promise to never communicate with residents of other universes. Fry kisses the tentacle and Leela is jealous.

Fry asks Bender and his robot army to go home, but then tentacle monster finds the letter Fry wrote to Bender about how great heaven is. Given that Bender is Fry’s alter-ego, this represents a mental battle for happiness. The tentacle is angry and sends everyone back to Earth on a big container ship like human trafficking victims.
The monster has gonhorrea and has decided to leave humanity behind and commit to the police chief with five boyfriends. She will leave her boyfriends behind to commit to the tentacle monster.
The monster and the police chief squeeze back through the rift in space and time and disappear as it closes.
Amy’s relationship with Kif was damaged by their time in heaven because she screwed his boss. The robot insists that they hadn’t experienced love via the tentacle because they hadn’t felt jealous. (It is true.)

The tentacle has the voice of Tobias from Arrested Development. There is always a pull between the desire to bury our culture’s shame and display it in a pillory, the oldest form of comedy, but the goal of shame should be to prevent harm of the innocent and keep the crazy people quarantined or identified. When my mother sent me to the crazy people and wanted me to be accepted by them, she probably thought I’d be protected like she was and given the nice husband she’d selected and recruited into their organization. Instead, I got a two-faced, sicko stalker who pretended to be respectable while doing disgusting things. They hadn’t quarantined him and it looks like people of his type were allowed to take on leadership roles because they had weird ideas about memory erasure that allowed him to remain among them despite his hidden sadism. The truth was that because of their memory erasure, they all got infected by hidden sadism. They thought they were good people because they only remembered good things and when their unconscious badness was given a chance to emerge, they had no defenses against it since they didn’t even know it was there. They just acted and then forgot about their bad actions as quickly as possible. They had lost the balancing force of public memories of shame.

The kids play fantasy role play games and the robot isn’t creative enough to play because her brain has been damaged. (This storyline is also in the series Stranger Things.)

Leela and Zoidberg steal the keys to the ship to enter it in a derby. Hillbillies are entertained by the carnage.
Leela drives the ship into a head on collision with hillbillies and the ship wins. (Leela got the pregnant intern to flip out and attack someone by threatening to stick something in her butt. She also gave her a bunch of hormones and speed to make her go into premature labor and freak out in public.)
The crew distracts the professor so he doesn’t see how banged up the ship is. Leela admits what she did with the intern and is proud of it. The professor yells at her for wasting fuel for a bet.
The professor puts a shock collar on (the intern) in case she exhibits any signs of violence, sexuality, or anger.
The robot/intern continues to have difficulty using his imagination. The kids encourage him. The professor says their role playing game is dangerous for robots and causes them to go crazy. Bender acts crazy.

The mother signs papers to get the robot locked up in the federal penetentiary for the criminally insane where her father had once worked as a neuroradiologist and where he knew they did horrible experiments on the prisoners’ brains. Why did she write her mom’s name on the medical consent form instead of her dad’s? She didn’t want to trouble him and trusted her mom.

I really never watched this series before, so the combination of the future religion, the imaginary boyfriend concepts, and the non-consensual mental health treatments is really weird. The wiki says that this season was only released as a series of straight to DVD movies by Comedy Central in 2011. It wasn’t even streaming and that seems like a lot of effort to go to for a show that only had cult status and a small audience. Not only that, fans of the show react to the add on season by wondering why it is so different from the earlier seasons. The explanation given is that the staff of writers was much smaller. It is also rather wierd that the earliest internet commentary on this season that Google pulls up is from 2018, after my novel was published. My guess is that someone wished to be able to steal material from the future and publish it in the past so that he looked smarter. Geniis made it possible, but as with all wishes, there is a fuse and it will eventually blow up in the person’s face. Imagine being in your forties and worrying about what your twenty year old self might have wished for. It is a scary thought. I think I wished for those who had hurt me to be cured of what had caused them to hurt me. This would lead to some wierd outcomes if taken literally. Geniis are crazy.

I get sort of upset by these stories and need a break. Suppose that a story collider or similarity score calculator is the ring of power that must go into Mt. Doom. Is the only way to save the world from rule by orcs who cannibalize IP to throw anyone who knows how story colliders work into a volcano? Doesn’t that seem sort of stupid? The concepts are so simple that a housewife with rudimentary knowledge of renormalization can figure them out within a day with GPT3. You need new ideas. And what the hell are orcs anyways? I think they are just minds for hire and you’ve been sending guns for hire after them for decades. You’d be better off putting the guns for hire into your army since they do a better job of keeping those people from freelancing. Also, your project of brainwashing women to marry unattractive dorks was unethical. Manchildren aren’t supposed to get high quality brides. They are supposed to grow up first. One of your used up tech dorks wore sport sandals with his suit in his wedding photo. One of your manchildren killed his first bride because he was too dumb to deal with 15k in credit card debt and his second bride started to panic when Mr. Stupid started going into debt again. And your strategy was to give women brain damage and faked criminal records so that they would be forced to tolerate these jokers? Those who were complicit should.. well, they probably already work on behalf of the children they destroyed, but if any of their children are on the streets right now, those parents who sold their kids to monsters should be charged for their rehabilitation. All you have to do is ask the homeless people where their parents or siblings are. I don’t care if they are crazy. The non-profits that are giving them money to live on the streets are the problem. They need to give the money to a parent or sibling who has to manage their destitute relative. That would incentivise people to vote for a politician who will give a sufficient stipend for their care. The reason this hasn’t happened is that every single one of those homeless people has a story to tell but the censorship apparatus doesn’t want those stories, so they give families no incentives to care for the brother or son that the system used and spit out. Their nonprofit funding agencies keep them isolated and give them just enough to stay alive as a person living under a bridge. This is how capitalism treats veterans who don’t even know they are veterans because they got their memories wiped.

The robot bosslady wins and everyone travels back to reality into her lab. Fry thinks it was a dream and the professor insist that Bender created an alternate reality via his contact to a dark matter crystal that created resonance or physics anomaly which spawned a multiverse.
The professsor has the die/crysta in his intestines after swallowing it. His son also ate one of the die/crystals that has the power to neutralize his crystal. By hugging his son, the two crystals annihilate. (This is how you neutralize bad ideas without killing people. Duh.)
The professor uses the aliens to tow his ship back home. They all chase after a chicken he holds out as a lure.
The aliens are fed chickens which represent young women that they get to consume before destroying their minds. It is gross. This causes the aliens to poop out dark matter or story material. They aren’t allowed to marry, but they get lots of chickens. If they were allowed to marry, their wives would kill them.

If this is how blame was assigned for the intern flying out of a window, this doesn’t sound likely. I think the intern was just sick of being tortured by a certain man and forced to romanticize it. This was one of their exit procedures. A person is backed into a corner, blinded, and forced to decide to join the bad guys or die by going out the window. I’m unnerved by how this backstory for a child lines up with the most recent Jurassic World movie in which a woman scientist was used by a professor to create a daughter that he intended to raise but who was kidnapped by a couple of ex park employees and raised off the grid before she was kidnapped back to the instittue for research purposes and rescued by the paleobotonist (woman who collected coma patients) and paleontologist (man who studied reanimated coma patients with unpredictable personalities). Note that the paleontologist thinks all dinosaurs are monsters because they did their reanimation experiments in a lab where the people were abused rather than treated like babies in a loving family. If you are nice to a fresh brain, it turns into a nice person, but the people running this program were idiots who wanted to weaponize people and when their victims woke up after a coma they tended to be sweet and loving, so their scientists had to immediately abuse them to turn them in the weapons they wanted. Even that didn’t work and just caused people to shut down.

The crew is offered a meal of a tormented bear.
Bender is welcomed by the showgirl’s husband, even though he is screwing her. The showgirl wants to run off with Bender and he says they can if he wins the poker tournament. He uses her diamond encrusted bra as his entrance fee.
Her big fat husband has lost his foot because of Bender. (My guess is that Bender is an enforcer who looks after the women who were forced to marry criminals who are working as spies. He pre-programmed the women so that they recognize him and run to him.)
Bender and Fry get good hands in a poker game and win all of hte money. The emperor also plays. He is also part of their scheme to use fixed gambling games to buy and sell women. Bender wants to run away with the brainwashed and demoralized woman while Fry wants to stick with Leela. Bender wins. (It is like Casino Royalle, but I think some of the games are played in Cuba.)
The mobster husband kidnaps the wife and Bender and buries them in shallow graves alongside sand worms.

On one side, he’s Fry, a violent leech who sucks on the neck of a psycho orphan cia woman who funds their operation. On the other side, he is Bender who seduces young women by acting as either a father figure or lover or both (ick!) and abandons them with criminals that Leela’s bosses want to spy on. He recruits new victims from among the children of these marriages. Leela hates these women. She tortures and damages them en route to their destination. My point is — destroy Leela! Then Fry is out of a job and not fed a steady stream of victims/chickens. When contained, he is represented by Nibbler, the alien pet of Leela. Leela is enabling this situation. She is the problem.

Fry mourns Bender and the showgirl. The crew dig them up and they are fine. The wife goes home to her mobster husband and Bender tells her he won’t call again. (When she calls for help, he offers a traumatic experience to scare her into staying with her husband.)
Amy’s parents build golf courses. The crew searches for intelligent life (to kill). Leela is a crazy environmentalist crusader with limited scientific understanding. Fry is programmed to think he is in love with her.
Leela joins a group of feminist environmentalists who are hiding out after Leela framed them for killing the vice-president. Leela encourages them to sabotage a new golf course. They reluctantly follow her. She puts a potato in the tailpipe of a golf course worker.
Zoidberg almost eats Leela’s violent leech pet. Fry complains that he misses Leela. He’s desperately in love and she leaves him to run off with her crew of terrorists. Fry makes friends with a homeless guy who takes him to another dimension. populated by schizophrenic homeleess men. He coaches them in making up a crazy story to explain how the diversity of human thought has been systematically reduced. They tell Fry that they need him to rescue their savior star and protect it. He is the only one who can do it becuase he lacks a delta brain wave , making him impervious to mind hacking. He is told to keep this secret from everyone, even Leela. Fry is told to infiltrate the golf course owner’s organization to prevent him from destroying their savior star.
Leela’s feminist eco-terrrorists are viewed as angry ex-hookers with illogical manifestos regarding killing the golf course owner. Bender offers to deal with them.

This separation of Fry and Leela with Leela joining a group of women would line up with Suicide Squad 2: Birds of Prey in which she gets ahold of a valuable blackmail diamond (story) and uses that to become independent with her adopted daughter. Damaged people all dream of independence when love is too complicated for them to figure out. She dreams of stealing another woman’s story and daughter so that she can blackmail her old coworkers. Such a nice lady.

The victim in the episode was portrayed as an evironmental protestor, when that wouldn’t fit with my identity. I care only a little bit about political issues because I’m very pragmatic and have never joined any protest groups. My philosophy is that slow change is responsible and quick change is usually counterproductive. I wasn’t a stupid ideologue when I was young either. I had just graduated from a college that had been given that sort of reputation via external efforts. The students there had chosen the school because they wanted to read old books. They didn’t care about Mumia Abdul Jabbar, the Bob Marley styled convict that some outside group was posting signs about all around campus in a failed effort to get students to look like they supported rastafarian-muslim ‘cop killers’. The real criminals are those who did idiotic pre-emptive counterterrorism operations in colleges that didn’t have terrorists. My college had the kids of hipsters and hippies — academically oriented young people who tended to become school teachers or professors. That’s why I chose the school. I didn’t know anyone who had been radicalized, but years later, I read a novel by James Patterson in which he portrayed the school as a hotbed of radicalization. — hippies with bombs. It was nonsense. I went there because I wanted to see a different culture from my bible belt community and I liked both groups. This pre-emptive counterterrorism group was targetting privileged, intelligent, curious, adventurous people and that was the only reason they were targeted. It was covert pol pot crap. You wear glasses because you read a lot of books? Welcome to the death camp. This was what zero-emissions intellectual climate control looked like in Portland, Oregon.

Do you know what those women who had been labled as dangerous did when riots broke out in Portland? Some of them got naked and sat down in the street in front of the people in riot gear. Dangerous, right? When you give all of the smart people in a commmunity brain damage, you get riots involving teenagers with machine guns who accidentally shoot someone and confused, naked women wandering around in the street. That is the lesson of their experiment in pre-emptive social engineering and ‘weaponizing ‘ women via sexual abuse. Brilliant or?

This all leads into the next episode which portrays Leela as someone who had turned a group of women who were merely commiserating into a group that looks radical because of Leela’s marketing efforts and encouragement. As in, a cia woman deliberately radicalized a group of women she had previously brainwashed so that no one would find out about the experiments that she and Fry/Bender had been conducting on these people with the professor and the momboss’s support. Consolidating makes it easy for Bender to swoop in and dispose of them for profit. I think they were a military/cia/presidential foreign/alien homeland security contractor profitting off of solving problems they caused.

I find it interesting that when a woman like Leela makes an effort to appear sympathetic to someone she victimized, she errs on the side of pitying the victim and identifying the thing that the victim most lacks or wants. This is a form of attack. She’s just rotten through and through. I know the type. Why did they give people like this jobs with complete power over innocent young people? I conclude that kept her job because she carried out orders, even if she indulged in sadism and grandstanding/whiteknighting whenever possible.

Leela gives her group of feminist women stupid slogans and makes them look dumb in public. She makes trans-assassins want to kill them by making them talk about TERF issues.
Fry poses as a schizophrenic security guard who is secretly trying to help Leela protect a special star from the golf course guy when he’s really been hired as Bender to destroy everyone in the group she created.
A sign maker becomes psychic (begins to remember her erased memories) and she is immediately killed by the same group that the homeless men are afraid of. As she dies, she calls out for her long lost brother to avenge her. (He’s probably homeless.)
Fry leaves work at the golf club and is clubbed by his homeless friend. He wakes up in an underground city of homeless men. They tell him he must prevent the destruction of the special star. Fry reminds himself to make sure it occurs. The men beleive in evolution and competition between dark ones that delete all signs of female intelligence and encyclopods that incorporate endangered species’ dna to recreate them later. They are searching for the egg that contains the encyclopod dna in the special star. They must defend it from the dark one. (This is like Raya and the Last Dragon). Fry is the only one who can rescue the egg.
Leela’s group of women cage their boyfriends and bosses. They find their murdered sign maker. Leela thinks Fry killed her.
Zap directs his ship to find Leela and her cult. He intrudes on her meeting with Fry and her ship/cult rescues them. Zapp chases them. Zapp’s ship is chopped in half and he loses all of his men but he keeps chasing them. They fly through a wormhole into another universe where Zapp’s ship is undamaged.
They see the asteroid containing all of the dna that will be destroyed by the golf course. (This like the dragon refuge in dragon training made easy 3)
Zapp catches the women’s ship and intends to board them. Bender helps.

Basically, Leela collected a group of women, made them look like rebels, incriminated them, put them on a boat, and let Zapp’s crew ‘board’ them. Bender helped. They’re sex slave traffickers. The Simpsons took this storyline one step further and suggested that the ‘teddybears’ got thrown overboard when they were done with them. This was in an episode in which Bart and Homer spend a year at sea.

The women in Leela’s cult are all tried in a fake court. The president agrees with the decision that protecting a special star from being obliterated is a crime. The jury finds them innocent when women’s votes are counted, but because the men are in charge, they are found guilty. They are sent to the dog house for-profit prison. They are encouraged to fght with each other for entertainment. Leela gets a psychic message about escaping to rescue the special star. She tries to use her violent leech to tunnel out, but it fails. Bender busts them out instead.
The homeless men give Fry a device to disable the dark ones’ delta waves. His mind can’t be read, so he can read the dark one’s thoughts without them finding out their plan.
Leela uses hookers being sexy to distract the guards while they escape. Bender draws their fire. The professor helps them escape in their space phip.
Fry is given the honor of killing the special star on behalf of the golf course man. He scans the crows for the dark one. He can’t find him. He realizes that he is the dark one and that he has to stop himself from killing the special star. There is a count down for him to destroy it. The women arrive and stop him.
Leela almost cuts the cable to the bomb that will kill the star and Fry tells her to stop because she doesn’t understand what is really going on. He knows he is the dark one but she still trusts him and hands him the detonator. He presses it but has connected it to the device that will destroy the dark one instead of the star. The device activates, but Fry survives. He thought he would die. Leela’s violent, bloodsucking pet announces that it was the dark one all along (Nibbler?) and that he will now die. An ecosystem with varied dna survives while an icky, destructive creature is dying.
There is a sysygy and this causes the star to come to life after combining with an asteroid. It becomes a creature with a world on its back that contains extinct animals/stories. (Jurassic Park?)
A homeless man becomes pedantic and the violent bloodsucker comes to life to attack him. As he dies, the man notices his sister’s necklace embedded in Fry’s head as shrapnel. Fry killed his sister. The shrapnel is removed and Fry loses his psychic abilities. The new star creature kills the last of the violent bloodsuckers that Leela liked and considers resurrecting the bloodsuckers but decides not to. Zoidberg eats the bloodsucker. The dead homeless man is added to the world of extinct animals.
Zapp resumes his pursuit of the ship containing female spies/rebels and the crew. They escape through the wormhole and Fry tells Leela he loves her. She doesn’t have anyone else and we love those who need us the most. He is still a bloodsucker.

The blame is laid on the bloodsucker rather than the bloodsucker’s enablers, but I still blame the enablers.
