    Yeah, same. Both episodes so far have been disappointing. I’m not too optimistic about the rest of the season at this point, but I’ll be watching them all and hoping for at least one solid good one.

      I’m glad I’m not alone in feeling that way The worst scene for me was when they were making the candy (a plot point that went nowhere). The professor’s “diabetic coma!” line followed by “It’s too sweet, better add more sugar” from Fry is just so lazy. The dialogue is just mirroring the action and not adding anything and the jokes are just garbage

        I honestly forgot all about the candy as soon as the episode was over. I guess the point was to have Zapp want to be manscaped with it? You’re right, it was terrible both in concept and execution.

        Here’s hoping that the candy is a “brick joke.” A lot of the creators of the show also worked on Disenchantment, which has been basically 4 seasons of setting up the dominoes, so maybe that rubbed off on them.

      It’s quite stark when you go back and do a rewatch of the early seasons. I’m still enjoying the episodes and all the fan service, but it feels like the characters are second to the random jokes jumping a bit all over the place.

      I’m still having fun though!

        I like seeing the characters again, but they’re shells of their former selves. They tried to do a tearjerker ending this episode and I felt nothing.
