    The worse thing about Futurama is that it lulls you into a false sense of security with its comedy, then beats you over the head with feels when you least expect it. Its also the best thing about Futurama. These episodes are an "odd man out" so to speak and it makes it that much more sincere when a show like this does drop an episode that hits you in the feels.

    It's really cool because 1) you can see that she was stung (there's blood on her belly and her shirt was ripped) when the bee attacked; 2) the toy (which you covered); 3) the sleigh ride scene is shown in the picture behind Fry in the hospital; and 4) she IS wearing Fry's jacket, just like when she 'woke up' in the coma dream. These creators don't mess around! BTW, great video!

    Another big thing that stands out after me watching this video repeatedly, Leela is alone, like Fry. Her family is known to her by this point, but they can't be here to support her. Fry knows what it's like to have no one to rely on. He is determined to stay with her and make sure she's not alone.

Eventually I would feel so groggy that it becomes difficult to remember what was real and what was dreamt. Time feels like an illusion.

    I love Fry's attempted sacrifice. Leela still ended up getting stung and Fry ended up being fine, but it doesn't diminish his sacrifice at all because that's not what he thought would happen. When he faced down that bee, he really thought he was going to take a hit for her and get stung and end up in a permanent coma or even just die.

  • @Delta_Aves
    @Delta_Aves 4 года назад +16

    One running gag throughout the series, and played with in the episode "Farewell to Arms," is Fry trying to do noble acts of heroism to save people, mostly Leela, but ends up causing more trouble, which was also the case here; if Fry hadn't tried to protect Leela from the wasp, she would've gotten impaled and would need immediate medical help, but she wouldn't have ended up in a venom-induced coma. Then again, there's no way Fry could've known that beforehand, and perhaps he stayed by her side, not just out of concern, but also guilt for letting her get stung.

    I just noticed that fry was apparently buried in the same graveyard as his nephew. Funny bit of continuity there. Yet it's portrayed like only important people are buried in this graveyard so it could have been lelas subconscious making the association between death and "Phillip j fry" to that graveyard.
    Edit- okay so I just wanna throw this in here as an interesting aside to "losing her mind even in a dream state" that's very possible, there's an interesting story of a young man who got hit in the head while at college, while he was unconscious he made up a wife and 2 children lived through a great deal of their life together even, when he came to only around 15 minutes had passed while in this dream state this man started to lose his mind over a red lamp in the living room, when he awoke he had to go to grief counseling to get over his loss (that of his non-existant wife and two children) the whole story is wild and I highly suggest people read it. Needless to say it gave me reason to worry about people in comas and their mental state while in that coma, I don't know if you can lose your mind and come back from that or if waking up only makes it worse.

    Another great thing about it was how it's one of the few times a Leela-centric episode addressed her growing feelings for Fry. Most of early Futurama was about Fry's schoolboy crush on her, with her either ignoring or being receptive of his advances, only for something to ruin the mood. Then there's this episode, and Leela's actions show just how deeply attached she's become to Fry, even though it's long before the pair actually took their relationship seriously.

    I never actually picked up on Leela’s whole dangerous animal, now it’s mine, thing until you said it. It’s almost a core personality trait. Did the worms in Fry count towards this as well?

    true story: after having been in a coma (pulmonary issues a decade ago) I can't watch this episode anymore.

      Many coma victims remember their loved one's voices during their dreams. Some of them asking them to "wake up" like Fry did. Keeping the brain estimulated is a good way to help it back into activity

      It's because Futurama is close to early Simpsons in terms of quality of writing. The Simpsons has been garbage for at least the last 10 years now so of course it's not gonna be comparable to Futurama who actually got a good ending instead of being milked and beaten forever.

      And it doesn't always have to be a cop out. I always hate it when they use this cliche as way to resolve everything.
      They have no explanation of what happened or how it happened. Nor do they know a way to resolve it. It's basically a "Get out of jail free" Card.
      Also sometimes adding an "....or was it?" twist can raise more questions. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes, it doesn't.
      Now, sometimes the cliche can work if it's used to teach the main characters a lesson.
      For example, in the 80s TMNT episode "Shredderville", after Shredder got away again, the Turtles were fed up with all of it wished that they were never mutated to begin with. They fell asleep and woke up to find their lair in shambles and NYC under Shredder's control because they were never mutated. After all the chaos ensued, they woke up again only to find everything back to normal. And this nightmare taught them a lesson to think twice before wishing they were never mutated.

      There’s a Darth Vader comic that shows this pretty well, where it shows him overthrowing Palpatine and going to Obi-Wan for forgiveness before revealing it was just a force vision of his. It works because you obviously know that it’s not real beforehand so it’s not just a cop-out, but also that Darth Vader is strong enough to do so and the only thing stopping him is Palpatine’s influence over him.

    The only good 'it was all a dream' plot.
    I think pointing out that wanting to have somebody stay by her side is a really important here since it's a central aspect of the Fry--Leela dynamic. Leela having been an orphan and having nobody else (at least early on) is an important part of her character development, and seeing Fry stay with her through that (toward the end of the series' initial run) feels like an important end to that arc.

    They managed to perfectly balance the sadness with a few minor, silly jokes lightening the tone. I think the reason people don't consider this episode as emotional as Jurassic Bark is because the writers chose (correctly, in my opinion) to not go all in on the drama, otherwise it might've been too intense.
    - Starting the ending scene with Bender's sassy "You've killed Fry."
    - "I've tried, bed sores hurt!"
    - Fry's surprised face when he realizes Leela is awake
    - "Vroom, vroom!"
    - "Like a parrot of the sea, he was!"
    And when we were all already bawling our eyes out, the "You could really use a shower" dialogue.
    Truly masterful screenwriting.

    Even though you say we've all seen it before, I really like how you take the time to avoid spoiling things too early. It makes it feel like we're all watching it for the first time, because you slow us down to appreciate all the connections and links between the episode's scenes. It's a great way to embody what you said about it having re-watch value.
