I'm fine with the pop culture references, since that was always a big part of Futurama, but the jokes are delivered with the subtlety of a kick to the face. Just isn't that funny.

I suppose the writers just have to get back into the groove since it's been a few years, but it's been almost five episodes so far.

4 was / tried too hard to mock religion and get a message across by pushing a character out of the show to create some contrived relationship.

3 was cool though, boil was dumb, besides that pretty decent

2 was meh

1 (premiere) was pretty /

I'd say the very first was likely the best out of them so far. I hope they get into the groove soon though.

No pushing kiff off made it a bit contrived. At least in my view it seemed pushed. I record all of them v;

I guess I didn't word it right. The relationship itself was contrived.

I mean [spoiler=For those who didn't see it and care]in the end, it was easily implied that Bender left Amy, then she got on a Motorcycle with Kif, implying they are back together.[/spoiler]

It's Futurama, and I love it.
