3ACV06-Bendless Love
Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: Futurama: Season Three: 3ACV06-Bendless Love
In this episode, the crew discover that several things around the office are bent out of shape-- Amy's Javelin, Leela's L-unit for the ship, Zoidberg's slinky, and the Professor's body. The source of these problems are soon found-- Bender has been sleep-bending. Bender takes some time off from work, and gets a job bending girders and falls in love-- with Flexo's ex-wife. A fight sceene soon follows. Then, a girder falls on Flexo-- that is unbendable. Bender bends the girder and Flexo is okay. Bender, tired of bending, goes back to his job at Planet Express.

And now for the nits... What is wrong with the airing order this season. It has been episodes 2, 1, now 6 and the Christmas episode hasn't even aired.

In the last six episodes, how many times have they fired someone? Three at least.

I liked the under use of technobable, The L-shaped unit is called an L-unit; not like a Flux Quantium Compensator.

So how did everyone get to their seats up on the wall?

What holds Bender's fake beard on? Magnetism, perhaps? If so, what about magnets causing Bender to sing folk songs like we saw in The Series Has Landed?

I believe that magnets only disable the inhibitions unit (the thing that makes Bender sing folk songs) is only affected by magnets on the top of Bender's head. Magnets elsewhere-- his chin, neck, etc. do not affect the inhibition unit.

I don't know if anyone will understand this, but this episode contains one of the funniest scenes ever, but it's so subtle and seems to be some bizarre 31st century type of humor. Fry, upon seeing the L-unit shaped more like an I, comments, "that doesn't look like an L at all, unless you count lowercase." Then, as if that was some sort of taboo statement, to "count a lowercase L", Bender gets enraged and slaps Fry. When I first saw this, I didn't even understand why exactly that was funny, but now I think it's the most hilarious thing ever.

Anglelyne says her legs are made of rubber, then she later tries to bend a girder by pushing it against her leg. Shouldn't her rubber leg have bent?

Tributes:

Angelyne - Very busy L.A. icon who is famous for putting herself on billboards.

Flexo's beard - tribute to Mirror, Mirror.

Stargate SG1 did a very similar tribute, ScottN. They traveled to an alternate universe in which all the men had that little beard!

By ScottN on Monday, July 23, 2001 - 7:23 pm:

So did South Park, Merat.

Thats right, the one with the nice Cartman?

By ScottN on Tuesday, July 24, 2001 - 11:16 am:

You mean "evil Cartman", who was nice, but yes.

The fight between Flexo and Bender seemed to be inspired by T2.

Angelyne - Very busy L.A. icon who is famous for putting herself on billboards.

Typo, that should read "busty", not "busy".

Ummm. . .okay, so what's the lowercase thing? I still don't get it.
