Futurama: a little political parable that just goes in too many directions to make a point. It conflates the war with the tax refund and burning the Constitution. And at the end, when Johnny Z joins the bums, isn’t that the point of most libertarian Republican right-of-center economic policies, that it’s the people that best knows how to spend its money? I’m surprised no one within the first several pages (all I can stand, really) of the Can’t Get Enough Futurama discussion even mentions the political angle.
The whale biologist, Bender’s adventure, and Fry’s caffeine-induced apotheosis make up somewhat for what is a mostly scattershot episode. My real disappointment, though, was the failure to follow up the last several episodes’ development of Fry and Leela’s deepening relationship.

Speaking of literary things, tomorrow is Bloomsday. But it doesn’t look like I’m doing anything tomorrow either. Definitely on the centennial, though. Yeah, sure.
