 |  Futurama: The Beast With a Billion Backs Anyone seen this yet? I'm picking it up tomorrow, but I probably won't be able to watch it until Saturday.

 View Edit History: | Re: Futurama: The Beast With a Billion Backs I bought it yesterday but, since everyone under the sun likes to co-op every second of my free time, it may be Sunday before I can see it. I keep hearing very mixed reviews...

| Religious Fanatic  | Re: Futurama: The Beast With a Billion Backs I downloaded it last night. I'll watch it after breakfast. EDIT: Oh, and "Bender's Big Score" got mixed reviews too, but I think it's all to do with what I like to call "ridiculously long hiatus syndrome". People wait in anticipation so long that when it finally arrives it's never good enough for them. The same thing happens with BSG every 10 episodes. I've watched maybe 15 minutes of it now and it's just like watching any episode from the show, and no it hasn't hit the kind of high it has in the past, but those "genius" moments are rare even for a show as good as this.

| Re: Futurama: The Beast With a Billion Backs In my humble opinion it's not as good as Bender's Big Score, but it is still worth watching. This is must-see tv for my buddy whos "polyamourous"* relationship just tanked. *(I hate that terminology. Makes me think of John Cleese beating a dead parrot on a wooden counter top, screaming "HELLO POLLY!!!".)

It's your regular, B-Grade Futurama episode, only four times as long.

 | Re: Futurama: The Beast With a Billion Backs Yeah. Wasn't anything special, but it was still new Futurama.

| Re: Futurama: The Beast With a Billion Backs Well I bought it... but I promised my ex-roommate I wouldn't watch it without her. So it'll have to wait until WEDNESDAY.
