    Its the same jokes and the same characters. Feels like no time has passed at all since previous season. I’m not sure if thats a good or a bad thing. On one hand I was hoping they evolved a bit more, on the other hand any changes would have launched the ire of those who expect stuff to stay the same. On a third sewer-mutant hand they tried doing different with Disenchanted, I loved that they did, but it failed.

      Actually, Leela feels different now, dumber like the rest of them. If anything she’s devolved. It kinda makes sense because why else would she want to be with a guy like Fry, but the show seems to have lost the voice of reason, the only sane one.

        Yeah I found that annoying. Leela being drunk and saying ‘I must have been drunk’.

          And last week supporting Fry being a lazy idiot who wants to binge watch every TV show ever made, which risked his life. And drinking out of a jelly-filled donut this week. Just not things I would expect her character to do.

              Yeah, change for the worse. It made her just another idiot like the rest of the cast. We already have enough of those in the show.

                  You’re right, she kept getting dumber as the series went on. But they seem to be leaning especially hard into “dumb Leela” now.

                    I don’t really agree that she was dumb in last week’s episode. If I recall correctly, they didn’t know how life threatening the binging was until after Fry was too far gone to immediately be saved, and once they did know the problem, she was at the forefront of keeping him alive.

          That was the one part of the episode I didn’t care for. I assumed they put it in to either reminde folks of how Kif got pregnant or introduce the story to those who missed that episode. Regardless, it could have been done in a manner that was more creatively written.
