While every iteration of the collection has made positive to shut the guide on a few of the lengthy working tales 20 years within the making, there’s nonetheless one main thread that has but to be adopted up on. There is a possibility to take action with Hulu’s subsequent batch of 20 ordered episodes, and hopefully the staff behind the collection takes time to reply whether or not Leela actually is “The Other.”
Futurama has launched its justifiable share of notable foes all through its run, however there’s one involving Fry that by no means fairly acquired to satisfy their decision with a ultimate and correct ending closing it out. The Brain spawn may need been final seen throughout the Season 5 episode, “The Why of Fry,” however their reference to Nibbler and Nibblonians additionally led to one of many greatest teases we have now ever gotten. It’s talked about throughout the episode that Leela should be “the Other,” however what does that imply?
Is Leela Really The Other?
During “The Why of Fry,” Fry talks to the Nibbler he meets within the yr 2000 and mentions Leela. Nibbler then wonders if that signifies that she should be “the Other,” contemplating how necessary Fry being within the yr 3000 is to their survival, and it raised a giant query as to what that might imply for the long run. Making issues much more intriguing is in the direction of the tip of the episode the place Nibbler says that they may come for Fry’s assist once more sooner or later. Except this by no means actually occurred.
Futurama has been cancelled and revived a few occasions since, however this “Other” thriller has but to be resolved. Fry’s by no means been approached by the Nibblonians once more (which is perhaps as a result of the Brain Spawn are nonetheless caught in that pocket outdoors of house and time), so we have now but to see what sort of ultimate grand journey there may very well be ready for him and Leela. With the collection coming again for one more (and doubtlessly ultimate) time, let’s hope this revival lastly solutions that massive query.
