If that part of the hustle was wishing for a new trans am

What part of the hustle are you doing and what are your wishes/expectations for the new season?

Will it suck? Will it not?

What topics are you wanting them to cover? Crypto? Elon Husk and Twotter? Spaz and readdit?

I suspect we're all going to love it to death while watching it. Then we're all going to get together and talk about the little things we didn't like and why it wasn't as good as the original set, get each other all worked up about the inadequacies, lament and watch the old seasons and eventually come to grips that all we have is all we have, we'll watch the new episodes a few more times and fall in love with them too.

I wouldn't mind an anthology.

    Judging by episode names they are hitting some current (ish) topics. whether they can do them well without it coming off as forced or too on-the-nose is yet to be seen.

    I kinda want to see a return to the adventures and stories, not the social and political commentary they tried a few times and were a bit hit-and-miss...

    I’d love to see them do a follow up to S4E1 “Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch”. It aired in 2003, Kif’s babies are supposed to mature in 20 years, new season in 2023. Perfect opportunity.

    Historically, Futurama dealt with gender and specifically trans issues quite poorly.Hopefully they have improved for this new season.

    Originally I was annoyed at the display of this scene

    But I decided later to take it as Zapp growing as a person, having learned he can develop feelings for "men" - even though it was just Leela, and in a confused sort of way opened up to dating trans-women. And he is legitimately confused about the surprise, knowing full well this is a trans-women - and not the harmful joke about her still having her body's birth genitalia.

    But yeah, hopefully they do a little better with this season on that front and I don't have to rely on home brewed explanations anymore.

    Why would it return? It ended perfectly
