What are everyone's thoughts so far?

First episode: nft are old fade but their take was nice. I loved the "no concevable reason"

Party episode. I do love flash backs and really felt for fry. His mom just wanted to male him feel better and she ruimed his friendships. To bad fry never that his mom was cheating. Love the joke aboit "its a highly alkaline solution"

TemP worker. Best one so far and i love it came the day i got my new library card. Jeez show make me feel outdated.

So far not as good as last season.

Not a fan of the episodes that riff on "the current hot topics": nft, eye-phone, etc.

Having said that, they're better than no Futurama!

I'm enjoying them.

To be fair. Old Futurama episodes first 5 seasons were also on actual topics those days, and music groups etcetera. Only difference is that today something is not fresh after 2 months in spotlight and Futurama episodes takes somewhat longer time than that to produce, especially when considering the strike last year I think it was.

I don't think that's a fair assessment. Stories in the first 5 seasons mostly had a non-current events focus, but admittedly did make references to both current and past events.

The best episodes are just interesting stories - "Parasite Lost", "Time Keeps Slippin", "Hell is Other Robots".
