FUTURAMA: Rebirth

Excellent. Hopefully they will be ordering new episodes soon then.
There really isn't a rush, I would wait for a few more episode ratings because the first two episodes were 2.8 million and the third episode was 2.19, so they hopefully it levels off.
As was pointed out to me earlier in the thread, the 26 episodes are slated to be split into 2 seasons, so they have a lot of time to decide one way or another.
We just have to keep watching and keep those numbers up, even if we're not young males.
I think this latest episode tried too hard to be topical. The Susan Boyle/Boil joke was particularly cringe-worthy. 
That said, it's amazing how much this show "feels" like Futurama with it having been off the air for so long.
The goat puke thing was gross and pointless but really it was only 1/20th of the episode, I barely registered it.

"Proposition Infinity" was the best Futurama since the cancellation.
Glad to hear Takei chip-in again. I'm not up on this season's guest voices. I didn't realize that he was going to be on again, or that Craig Ferguson voiced Susan last week.

"Proposition Infinity" seemed like they tossed Amy and Kiff's relationship under the bus for an issue episode...and then reset.
It had some good moments, though.
Worst single thing was Zoidberg's chest cut open, reminded me of one of most hated Simpsons' scenes, a badger mauls Homer and he exposes his guts. (And it wasn't a Halloween episode).
Fry can get his Lucy Liu robot back. Except she was destroyed (IIRC, everyone was opposed to Fry robosexual relationship then.)

They're relationship would only naturally be strained, given that they had broken up and only recently gotten back together.
Oh come off it. We've already seen Zoidberg get dissected, with the Planet Express crew using his organs as weapons. (And it was hilarious.) Get a little perspective.

Agreed. This one felt more like classic Futurama than any of the others so far.
3 Trek references this time!
Besides Takei, I thought the prison being named "Will Riker's Island" was brilliant. Then about a minute later the robot cop Vulcan nerve pinches the prisoner dude while saying "Mama said Spock you out!". Loved it.For some reason the "ghost and horse" thing made me laugh out loud. "Boooo-ooooooo!"
I do agree though that the Amy thing was really rushed. A bit weird that she would fall out of love with Kif, in love with Bender, then back in love with Kif so fast. I found that all to be a bit unsettling, but still a great ep despite that.
P.S. Also got a big kick out of Amy making a disparaging comment about the wine robot's lack of emotion, only to have it respond with "hopes deleted". lol
I agree, I started laughing so hard at the white-black and black-white couple.
A horse and a ghost could marry! haha
It was an issue episode, but who cares if it was good?! It felt like classic Futurama and that's all I care about. Plus I'm a gay guy from Massachusetts so the Taxachusetts line was too funny!
I guess I'm not getting what you're saying, sorry. I hate to ask you to elaborate though on something that's likely such a non-issue haha. If Takei is not a reference to Trek, then I humbly stand corrected.
That being said, I haven't seen TOS in a long while, and it is towards the top of my to do list.

Sorry about cutting loose so many spoilers. I should probably use that feature here, especially so soon after airing.

I loves me some Trek references in Futurama, but I *really* love TNG references. Now we have at least TWO locations: Fisherman's Worf and Will Riker's Island. Hooray!
Your self control is admirable.Oh, don't worry about it, I skipped right to the end of the thread so I wouldn't get spoiled.
I would have read it all and been like "awwwwwww".Forgot about Fisherman's Worf.
What's next, Valley La Forge?
Fantastic episode!
I agree that this was the best episode of the season. A lot of great laughs, several Star Trek references, and a solid parody story to boot.
Plus, I LOVED this little gem:

At the Robo-sexual pride parade.
"Can you turn into a race car?"
"No, I'm a pre-op transformer."
Made me laugh.

I have really got to start remembering this comes on.
