If there was anytime a time for Futurama admirers to go on a bender (get it?!), it was endure night. Because afterwards 11 years, two networks and a accomplished agglomeration of time off in between, the abuse affair assuredly acclaimed 100 episodes.

Ever aback Matt Groening unleashed his aftereffect to The Simpsons in 1999, the sci-fi snark-toon has had agitation award its footing. It was on Fox. It was off Fox. Humans admired it. Humans hated it. Its ratings sank. Its DVD sales soared. Then Comedy Central rebooted the appearance about seven years afterwards Fox pulled the plug, and association were cool out that things wouldn't be the same. Were some of the new batch's aboriginal episodes not mega-gems? Sure, but even a anemic Futurama is bigger than no Futurama, right?

Not that Thursday's division afterpiece bare to anguish about weaknesses. From the brain writing, able afterimage gags and Groening-level pop-culture savvy, aggregate that fabricated the appearance account bringing aback was on abounding display. Built about the Planet Express team's 100th transport—to the oldest actual Astor ancestors member—we got a galaxy of action involving the Titanic, a aberrant anarchy ("2, 4, 6 eyes...mutant humans will arise!"), Devo and—because this is Futurama—body fluids. Sophomoric, maybe, but it was aswell super-fun and, even added so, a amusement for superfans who accept ashore by their show. Even if it didn't even assume to accept a future.
