Ok, so it's an AI episode, but like instead of an actual AI it's a prosthetic eye that tries to steal your job and makes pictures of people with weird hands. It's an "a-eye", get it?

I feel like Futurama ended for me after Season 5.

Hot take: Futurama doesn’t need to be in its golden age to still exist and a lot of younger people like myself are getting to see the show in a way that appeals to modern pop culture references for the first time.

Despite how many people feel about this previous season, it had its moments and it still exists in a niche that I’d argue is almost entirely untouched by most animated tv nowadays. I will absolutely take Futuramas half-hearted attempts at clever writing over the now modern “it’s so gross/crass it’s funny” style of things.

Can I rewatch older seasons? Sure. But again, a lot of season 1-5 are before my time. The characters are still great, voices are great, it’s just the through line plot that’s suffered in the new season. Specifically that gets highlighted in the Dung episode where the quips are funny, the situation is funny, but the overall plot is kind of uninteresting to me and it’s lost that cleverness. Fix a few things about an episode like that and it’d be right at home in the first series.

"Maybe if we go down in flames bad enough, they'll stop reviving this show! We've had HOW MANY SERIES FINALES now!?"

It's still technically production season 10. Networks and Streamers love to order a bunch of episodes then split them in half and call it two seasons as a way to spend less money.

Production season 11 has been ordered and should air in 2025 and 2026.

You don't like it? Just don't watch it. Let the people who enjoy it enjoy.

I've rewatched a few times now and it's better on future watches. Going back I also remember the previous reboots taking moment to find their stride again. In short I'm looking forward to this season.
