Futurama. Comedy Central and 20th Century Fox.
Today we review the final episode of the long running on and off series Futurama. The series has had seven seasons and number of movies that spans 13 years.
This episode deal with a classic trope of the guy learning he wants to spend his life with the girl he loves, still this is Futurama and they have a habit of turning tropes on their sides. Thanks to a new invention from the Professor a love struck Fry proposes to Leela. Things go awry and Fry ends up in a tragic time loop.
Let's get to the good and the bad of the episode. For the most part the story progress in a nice steady pace and the idea of time loop doesn't become the boring and frustrating repeating the same scene over and over again that tends to happen. Most shows just repeat the dialogue and actions over and over again so it was refreshing to see an episode where the time loop pushes the plot along and just give new jokes and new material. The time loop is handled in a very unique way as the device only allows someone to go back ten seconds and it takes ten second for the device to recharge, these limits are the driving force of the episodes plot.
