You people always forget that Fry was the one who helped Leela find her family.

Keep up with me!

Me: Bender's Big Score retconned Seymore being alone the rest of his life and dying tragically so I'm sure I can get through Jurassic Bark this time without breaking down to a an ugly sobbing mess.

Me, 22 minutes later:

#Futurama #Jurassic Bark #Pet death tw #if i could have any of my pets back i absolutely would #i also sobbed at luck of the fryish and Leela's homeworld #as you do when rewatching futurama

[livingjoke]

Not me crying over Leela’s Homeworld at 11:30 at night

#personal #futurama #leela’s homeworld #turanga leela #this show is so good

[dinobot]

obviously i have vylae-leela stuff in progress but i kind of also want to write/paint something about tycho and pfhor homeworld-leela rotting together or escaping together or fusing or Something simmering in the rage that durandal transparently thinks their freedom is worth less than his

#this requires my two leelas theory where tycho's report that she died on the pfhor homeworld and the reports of her going rampant on vylae #are both true

[imdcathsmeow]

The Leela's Homeworld episode to me is even more significant now, knowing Fry and Leela would eventually end up together

Fry has always looked out for Leela

And the way he just stands back here and lets them have their moment 🥺🥺

Fry and Leela deserve to be together 🧡💜

I'm hoping to see more interactions between Fry and his future in-laws 🙏🙏

It's like expanding the theme of Fry having his newfound family in the future, from the Planet Express crew to Leela's family

I believe Gale would cry at all of the touching Futurama episodes (IE Jurrasic Bark, Leela's Homeworld, etc).

#bg3 #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 gale #gale #gale headcanons #Gale 100% cries at movies books etc.

#is it a hot take to include the devil's hands over eps like time keeps on slippin' or parasites lost? #maybe but idk the devil's hands always gets a more emotional reaction out of me #and i wanted to include cold warriors because of fry and his dad but in the end the whole ep isn't really emotional #it just kinda gut punches you at the end #i'm making this poll last 1 week this time so let's see how much traction it gets! #futurama #poll #mine

futurama does such a good job of maintaining canon. like there’s the nibbler shadow thing of course but also in anthology of interest when leela asks her question for the what-if machine, she asks what it would be like if she found her homeworld. later we find out that earth is her homeworld and she’s secretly a mutant, but the what-if machine is supposed to be super accurate so instead they have leela trip and hit her head and the ensuing wizard of oz story is just a dream

beautiful, amazing, genius, etc

Fuck it. Put on "Leela's Homeworld". I'm not driving tonight

Two Ideas That Would Make Good Fanfics If I Could Think of More Than the Basic Premise

I've already done a "what happened to Jamie about season 6b" fic, but I had another idea, one that's a bit more gen/ambiguous.

The Doctor knows that the Time Lords will erase Jamie's memories again when they're done with him and doesn't want that to happen. So, he decides to hide Jamie somewhere, so even if they can't be together, Jamie can still keep his memories and be himself.

The Doctor also knows that he's going to be exiled to the 20th century, to a time and place where he has a lot of friends. Victoria is in the 20th century. She's probably the only person Jamie would willingly leave the Doctor for, so he sends him off to live with her. Jamie knows about regeneration, so if the Doctor wants to check in on him later, he'll be recognized. So, Jamie is safe and the Doctor can still see him.

But, the Time Lords wipe the Doctor's memory of season 6b, so the Third Doctor doesn't know that Jamie is in the 20th century. So, he never visits like he said he would...

Until after The Two Doctors. Six regains some of his memories of season 6b, remembers where Jamie is, and that Jamie has met him as Six. Six and Peri go to visit Jamie and Victoria in a point in the timeline where it hasn't been too long since Jamie last saw Two. Maybe they all celebrate Christmas together or something like that.

When Six loses Peri, he visits Jamie, who knew Peri and had had his own troubles with the Time Lords, so he understands.

2. An AU of Time in Office. Time in Office takes place in this weird period at the end of Frontios where the Doctor and Tegan take a few extra trips in the TARDIS on the way back to where Turlough is in the far future. The TARDIS is being a bit uncooperative as it often is. (My headcanon is that it was just rebuilt by Tractators and is trying to rid itself of "Tractator vibes" or something so that Turlough won't be tormented just by being in the TARDIS. Because the TARDIS loves Five's companions)

Anyway, in Time in Office, the Time Lords catch the Doctor and Tegan and take them back to Gallifrey so the Doctor can be president. They plan to mindwipe Tegan and send her back home, but Leela intervenes and has her made an ambassador of Earth so she can stay.

I assume that the reason Turlough isn't in this story is probably scheduling issues, but it would also be a bit difficult to keep him on Gallifrey here. He's an exile and hasn't even mentioned the name of his homeworld to the Doctor, so they can't make him an ambassador of Trion. The Time Lords have actually had contact with Trion before. They'd find out. But, as much as no companion wants to be mindwiped, Turlough would put up more of a fight than normal. The Time Lords don't just send the Doctor's companions home after mindwiping them. They send them back to where they first met the Doctor. In Turlough's case, that would be Brendon. And he'd rather die than go back there. And this is just after Frontios, so Turlough's already not doing so well mentally. He'd probably snap.

So, how do we keep Turlough on Gallifrey? Well, one of the things Leela suggested to keep Tegan on Gallifrey was marrying a Gallifreyan and becoming a citizen by marriage, which is basically what Leela did. The Doctor does not approve of this idea in Tegan's case, but it might be the only way to keep Turlough on Gallifrey/sane/alive. The Doctor is the only Gallifreyan Turlough really knows. It would probably be a PR nightmare if the Lord President married an alien, but basically Turlough has to marry the Doctor to avoid getting sent back to Brendon and hilarity ensues.

[being-of-rain]

I’m having thoughts and feelings about Leela and the Doctor. And sometimes you have to write meta for 45-year-old TV.

When I watched The Face of Evil I was struck by how quickly the Doctor and Leela grew to like each other. It got me thinking about the similarities between the two, and also the Doctor’s state of mind at the time. The previous two TV stories saw the Doctor (firstly) leaving Sarah Jane behind and so cutting his final link with modern-day Earth, the place where he had made many of his best friends but yearned to leave in order to resume his homeless wandering, and (secondly) return properly and freely to Gallifrey for the first time since he left it, only to quickly decide once again that staying on his homeworld was not for him. I wonder if all that had left him in an introspective mood.

And I wonder if the Doctor ever drew a connection between Leela and himself. After all, she’s someone who questioned and stood up against the way things are done in her tribe, and so was banished. Someone striking out on her own, eager to look for answers and quick to learn new concepts. (One incidental difference between the two is that the Doctor left Gallifrey with a family member, while Leela’s father died for her crimes shortly before she left.)

I wonder how guilty the Doctor really felt that he was responsible not only for the whole situation that he found on Leela’s planet, but for Leela’s situation specifically. Did he ever think about how the consequences of his best-of-intentions interference (ironically, exactly what Gallifrey had tried to stop him doing) had been the cause of injustice that resembled what he had faced in his own youth? And could that be related to why he point-blank refused to take Leela with him at the end of The Face of Evil? (She wanted to travel the universe so badly that she simply ignored his refusal and commandeered his ship. Sounds familiar.)

Just before she decided to leave in the TARDIS, Leela was named the obvious candidate to lead the newly united clans of her world- a not totally dissimilar situation to the Doctor finding himself the sole candidate running for the presidency of Gallifrey one serial earlier. Perhaps the Doctor just saw too much of himself and the story of his life in Leela. Perhaps he wanted her to take the path (the potentially satisfying, easy life) that he wouldn’t take himself, rather than enable her to end up as homeless as he was. In light of this, I wonder how he felt about her eventually trying to find a home on his own original homeworld.

And, if any of this is true, I wonder if he ever told her any of it. Knowing the Doctor, probably not.

A project 3000 years in the making: every episode of Futurama ranked in increasing order of sci-fi, from earthiest to spaciest

Tier 10: Insulting - These episodes are hardly even sci-fi. They just address realistic situations in a hardly even futuristic setting.

138. Stench and Stenchibility - The earthiest episode. It doesn't even feel like a Futurama. It feels like a "King of the Hill" that wasn't selling, so the script people crossed out the name "Dale" and replaced it with "Zoidberg".

137. Three Hundred Big Boys

136. The Luck of the Fryish - I hate the flashback episodes. They defeat the purpose of the show.

135. How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back

134. A Leela of Her Own

133. Zapp Gets Cancelled

132. I, Roommate

Tier 9: Antiquated - These episodes are better at employing 4th-millennium technology, but their plots are still unmistakably 3rd-millennium.

131. That's Lobstertainment!

130. Naturama - It doesn't even use technology. The only reason it isn't completely below the scale whatsoever is that it's implied the narrator is from Omicron Persei 8.

129. Future Stock

128. The 30% Iron Chef

127. The Silence of the Clamps

126. Attack of the Killer App

125. Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television

Tier 8: Earthy - While incredibly down-to-earth, these episodes do have one pretty important bit that makes them qualify as sci-fi, like a robot Santa or a head transplant.

124. Jurassic Bark

123. Yo Leela Leela - It is nearly my favorite episode, no doubt there - but let's face it. Change a few things, and it could easily happen in this era.

122. Raging Bender

121. Rage Against the Vaccine

120. Xmas Story

119. The Route of All Evil - It's the 31st century, but there are still newspapers????

118. The Impossible Stream

117. Put Your Head on My Shoulders

116. Fry and the Slurm Factory

Tier 7: Humble - These stories are a little futuristic, but they still feel plain for their day.

115. Bender Gets Made

114. Cold Warriors

113. Saturday Morning Fun Pit - Mostly grounded in the 1980s, but spared from a lower tier because it does have clones and lasers and the like.

112. The Cyber House Rules

111. Bendless Love

110. Near-Death Wish - The expensive panoramic bits were pretty epic, however.

109. The Lesser of Two Evils

108. 31st Century Fox

Tier 6: Allegorical - These episodes use future crap as a metaphorical stand-in for present crap.

107. Bend Her

106. Into the Wild Green Yonder

105. A Big Piece of Garbage

104. Proposition Infinity

103. The Cryonic Woman

102. Mars University

101. Bendin' in the Wind

100. Love's Labours Lost in Space

99. A Head in the Polls

98. Children of a Lesser Bog

97. The Futurama Holiday Spectacular

96. A Flight to Remember

95. Fun on a Bun

94. Lethal Inspection

Tier 5: Type-Zero - Pretty standard sci-fi plots, unremarkable in their remarkability.

93. Anthology of Interest I

92. A Pharaoh to Remember

91. The Problem with Popplers

90. T.: The Terrestrial

89. Viva Mars Vegas

88. The Inhuman Torch

87. Amazon Women in the Mood

86. The Deep South

85. The Mutants Are Revolting

84. A Fishful of Dollars

83. Where No Fan Has Gone Before

82. Leela's Homeworld

Tier 4: Techie - Here's where it gets fun. These are the first plots to get out of this world. (As a bonus, we've hit the median point!)

81. The Tip of the Zoidberg

80. Fry and Leela's Big Fling

79. That Darn Katz!

78. Murder on the Planet Express

77. When Aliens Attack

76. The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings

75. Space Pilot 3000

74. A Clone of My Own

73. The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz

72. Where the Buggalo Roam

71. The Beast with a Billion Backs

70. How The West Was 1010001

69. Brannigan, Begin Again

68. The Farnsworth Parabox

67. A Taste of Freedom

66. Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?

65. Less than Hero

64. Spanish Fry

63. The Sting

62. The Bots and the Bees

61. Meanwhile

60. Related to Items You've Viewed - It feels like it should be a tier-6, but just isn't. There is no mathematical explanation for this.

59. The Butterjunk Effect

Tier 3: Otherworldly: The epitome of Futurama. These have the ideal blend of science and fiction.

58. Fry Am Fry Is the Egg Man - Grammar, Stanley.

57. Parasites Regained

56. The Prince and the Product

55. Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch

54. Mother's Day

53. The Series Has Landed

52. Decision 3012

51. Hell Is Other Robots

50. A Tale of Two Santas

49. Anthology of Interest II

48. Bender's Game

47. Insane in the Mainframe

46. In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela

45. War Is the H-Word

44. I Know What You Did Next Xmas - A ponderance: does this episode nullify "The Late Philip J. Fry", now that they can go back in time the easy way?

43. Crimes of the Hot

Tier 2: Spacey - Mind-bending and heart-warping, these shows are good enough to make you (very, very temporarily) stop wishing Matt Groening would die.

42. A Farewell to Arms

41. Parasites Lost

40. Game of Tones

39. Overclockwise

38. Zapp Dingbat

37. Godfellas

36. The Thief of Baghead

35. Free Will Hunting

34. My Three Suns

33. Leela and the Genestalk - Fun side note: At first, it didn't used to occur to me that this episode was pronounced "JEEN-stalk". I'd been pronouncing it "JEN-ə-stalk", like the way it's pronounced in words like genetic, genesis, or generate.

32. The Why of Fry

31. Roswell that Ends Well

30. Calculon 2.0

29. Assie Come Home

28. Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences

27. All the Presidents' Heads

26. Forty Percent Leadbelly

25. Möbius Dick - Some episodes are ranked so low only because there are so many that rank higher than them.

24. I Second that Emotion

23. The Day the Earth Stood Stupid

22. The Duh-Vinci Code

21. Obsoletely Fabulous

20. Fear of a Bot Planet

Tier 1: Unreal - Creativity personified; these stories are chariots to the stars, moving so fast that they make the other nine tiers appear to stand still.

19. Ghost in the Machines

18. Neutopia

17. 2-D Blacktop

16. Law and Oracle

15. Love and Rocket

14. Rebirth

13. A Bicyclops Built for Two

12. I Dated a Robot

11. Bender's Big Score

10. The Six Million Dollar Mon

9. A Clockwork Origin

8. The Honking

7. Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles

6. Reincarnation

5. The Late Philip J. Fry

4. All the Way Down - Infinitely better than I expected from a Hulu episode.

3. The Prisoner of Benda - Nothing says sci-fi like inventing a whole new math equation just to give your story a proper ending.

2. Time Keeps on Slippin'

1. Benderama - The spaciest episode. Now this is what it is all about: half-sized clones and microscopic microbrewing and sensitive giants.

Other notes:

The spaciest season is season 6 (weighing in at a high tier-2), and the earthiest is season 2 (a low tier-5).

This is intended as a ranking of the episodes in order of earthiness to spaciness, not as a ranking of my opinion on the episodes. A ranking of my opinion is over here.

Drafting this list took all night, and preparing it took all morning.
