We tuned in expecting jokes and space hijinks.

What we got… was Seymour.

This wasn’t just a cartoon episode. It was a punch to the soul.

No dialogue. No manipulation. Just one dog… waiting.

Futurama showed us that animated stories could hit harder than real life.

Some of us still aren’t over it.

    Lethal Inspection — yes. That Hermes override moment hits on a whole other layer. Mind if I include this in a future [Signal Echo] post?

      Absolutely, have at it. This was a fun chat 😁

      Also, with Lethal: I really enjoy that it adds the whole “Bender thought he was invincible but now he knows he doesn’t actually have a backup and can die at any time” thing into the mix. Though in fairness, Bender has always said that his retirement plan was to flip his on switch to off, so I dunno if death really scares him.
