    • grooms himself

    • thinks about other’s needs first/is more proactive

    • less prone to dangerous high jinks that imperil his friends

    • arguably the most important: listens and is responsive to Leela’s needs

    Fry always had the capacity to do these things and he clearly loved leela, but he was immature and self-involved. “Lars” is fry finally becoming the amazing person we all knew he could be and would be .






  • Man Disenchantment just can’t get it together. The first 3 episodes are fantastic too. They keep over-complicating and papering over things that spin out of control. I don’t know if the Groening team just can’t handle a serialized show or what it is, but the show just never comes together. They abandon every thread that’s interesting too!

    I kept watching until this latest season. I keep saying “unless this one is good I’m done,” and they just don’t quite get there. It’s a consistent C+.




  • I think what makes it so difficult is as soon as I saw the listing, I knew exactly what it was going to be, and I found the jokes weren’t particularly better than anything I could write. And I’m not a particularly good writer lol.

    It basically ended up being exactly what I expected it to be, an SNL sketch gone a little too long. The premise seems too much like it comprises the entire humor of the show, and I’m just not sure how they can keep that interesting.
