Doesn't matter, it's gone now.
What time is it? Adventure- Oh wait 5:30.
Thank you, I'm sure Mukora was still waiting for an answer to that question five years later.
Do you any of you guys think there are any Complete Monster candidates from Futurama?

Is it wrong of me to think that "A taste of freedom" Has a Accidental Aesop in it of, "Just because you are a minority does not give you the moral high ground to turn around and start treating other people like shit" or alternatively "Revenge continues a cycle of hate" or something like that. Any thoughts?

Would the episodes Anthology of Interest Parts I and II, Reincarnation, and Holiday Spectacular be examples of episodes that have an Alternate Universe take on the Futurama continuity?

Under Chekhov's Armoury: this one will need more details when it is moved back to main: how do the ashes get spilt or otherwise inappropriately disposed of? Do ashes get spilt? If not, not an example.
- Ashes to Crashes: All of Fry's friends and relatives from the twenty-first century are dead. That still doesn't stop them being important in certain episodes and plot arcs. Prime example? His dog.
Mr.
Anvilicious? I think the case can be made that, especially the new series, has had enough Green Aesops to qualify. It should absolutely be justified with a 'Some Anvils Need to be Dropped' note, but I still think it should be on there. Agree? Disagree? Ferret?
The "funny" use of "Good news, everyone!" at every possible point in the article really doesn't add anything. It's close to being an in-site verbal tic, actually.

It's not a Verbal Tic, it's a running gag that's repeatedly used on the show. If there's anywhere at all that a "Good News Everyone!" meme oughta go, it's on the show that it comes from.
"Need" has nothing to do with this. It doesn't "need" to go anywhere. For that matter, nobody really "needs" to know what tropes are used in Futurama at all, so should we just blank the page because it's not "needed"?
Likewise, there's no "need" to take it off the page, just that you, and you alone, don't seem to want it there.

If you really want to argue semantics, we don't "need" tvtropes at all :)
btw according to the edit history, you yourself conceded they were "verbal tics", just as you alone seem to want them there :)
Yes, that's the point I was trying to make. Saying "we don't need it" on its own has zero value in this discussion.
As for the second point, I was simply mirroring your own edit reason.
And "you alone seem to want them there" is patently false based on one simple fact: I didn't put them there in the first place. Ergo, at least one other troper (the one(s) who put them there) wanted them there.
Furthermore, everyone else who came by the page to edit it, including the half-dozen or so since I put them back, left them right where they were, so it seems you're the only one who actively wants them off the page.
If your words are no more than smoke and mirrors, then I see little point in discussing this further.
(On the other hand, you *are* alone in "actively" (to use your phrasing) trying to replace the tics now, especially if we assume, using your reasoning, that the editors between my edit and your yours agree with and support its removal.)
Haha, stay cool. I was only trying to improve the page. In my personal opinion, the proliferation of in-jokey memes makes us increasingly like 4chan or encyclopedia dramatica. But if people 'round here want to keep the jokes, I have no problem with that. No hard feelings all, and happy troping everyone!

Smoke and mirrors? I think you've mistaken my meaning. By "mirroring" your edit reason I meant I was just reusing your words in a clever (if, admittedly, passive aggressive) way.
As for me being "alone" in actively replacing them, there was only two days between your edits and mine, while the Good News Everyone!'s had been there for several months or longer, and it's been over two weeks since I put them back on.
Or, to put it another way, it took four editors before someone (me) put them back, while well over a dozen editors later they're still on there, and probably hundreds left them there before you edited the page.
Heck, the other editors may not have even noticed they were gone—not everyone checks the full page history before they edit. I've seen times where tropers are apparently unaware the page history even exists. Many just pop on the page, head right to the trope they want to edit, save, and move on, whereas I'm a little obsessive about checking the page histories on shows/tropes I follow, so I tend to notice changes like this more readily.
Actually you mistook mine. The phrasing was deliberate.
Thank you for admitting to being passive aggressive. It wasn't the best way to engage in a discussion, but that's water under the bridge.
Is Fry and Leela an Interspecies Romance? Leela is human, albeit a mutated one.
Hide / Show Replies
Nah. There's people born with extra fingers and toes, or without limbs. It's a strange mutation, but doesn't make them different species or anything. After all, everyone has a little mutation that makes them distinct from one another- it's what makes one person look different from the next. Leela's eye is a rather big deviance, but it's just a mutation in the end.
However, the show does cross over into Interspecies Romance territory quite often. My question is, when Fry was in Zoidberg's body and Leela in Farnsworth's, was THAT Interspecies Romance?
Don't you know?
Could someone go into more detail as to why the movies are considered Seasonal Rot?
Why does the page say the new season is airing on June tenth? Every preview I've seen says it's on the twenty-fourth.
