Now THAT was a great Futurama finale

A question

To confirm, the Bender that knew how to fix the sim was from an even more outer simulation, thus proving that the 'main' universe was also a simulation?

They didn't explicitly say it but that would match the theme

need to rewatch that part but that’s what I initially assumed

Late to the party here, but yeah that was my take as well. As the inner simulation was about to burn planet express down, the professor made a comment about how catastrophic it would be given all the "doomsday" devices he has. I inferred that to mean that if all those doomsday devices went off, the outer simulation would be unable to simulate it, revealing that the "main" simulation was a simulation in itself; so outer bender came to the "main" simulation with the intention of stopping that from happening.

Oh I didn't even consider the doomsday devices, that makes a lot of sense :)

yes, they just didn't catch on or say it

Finally a GREAT episode this season! Some of the jokes fell flat and this wasn't a top 5 episode, but it was still really good!

Felt like a classic Futurama episode. Really enjoyed it. In the end, this is what's important.

This was a top episode

  • Story about more a sci-fi concept, and it made sense
  • Jokes that landed well
  • Characters not being totally dumb for no reason
  • Good resolution at the ending

Great finale

I just hope this is a season finale and not a series finale because if it is the latter it would be the worst so far

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Good resolution at the ending

In more ways than one! Hah!

Just finished watching it. While not as funny as some episodes from previous seasons I enjoyed it. Probably my favorite episode of this season.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

This season was great a lot of original content and this one topped all of the..I really loved this season and I feel like it lives up to the old episodes. I really don't understand the bad reviews.

Best episode this season, still mad about whatever that space king episode was though.

[–] beefsquatch 6 points 1 year ago

This one was really good! For sure my favorite of the season

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

First episode of this season to hit me in the feels. I kind of felt the whole simulation aspect had been done in a more clever way in Rick and Morty, but overall a very solid episode. What a breath of fresh air after the turd that was episode 9.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Finally a decent episode.

Did bender force his way back up or did a new bender work his way down?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I think a new one was sent down, because the simulation (where they were all in the ship watching the star) still had a conscious bender

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This will be remembered fondly. I quite enjoyed the first two episodes of the season as well

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Best episode of the season. Well done to everyone. Loved every bit of it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Finally, a Futurama episode that felt like a fucking Futurama episode! If only it had been like this since the initial reboot.

Second worst episode I've seen in this season so far (next to Children of a Lesser Bog). Can't stand when they do these alternative animation episodes.

Hell, most of this season has been a disappointment. Dated jokes that fall flat more than they land. This used to be my favorite show but now I'll be surprised if it lasts more than 2-3 seasons before getting canceled again.
