New Futurama Reactions

I love Futurama. I was so excited to hear that it was coming back, and last night it did. I got to see two new episodes, and they were both great. The best part of the Futurama comeback is that the show doesn’t seem completely different than it used to be. Family Guy underwent a huge change after its hiatus, with many of the characters personalities changing, more flashbacks etc. The only difference I noticed between old and new Futurama is that the professor’s voice sounds different.
On to our Sci-Fi storylines then. The opening scenes of the season six premiere have the Planet Express crew being shot out of the sky by the Nimbus. Only Fry and the professor survive, but luckily he killed enough humans to have a huge vat of stem cells to reincarnate the rest of the cast, except Leela. The rest of the episode could have been written by Philip K. Dick, since it has some interesting twists near the end (that I won’t reveal here, since I know some Futurama fans that missed it).
The second new episode was pretty funny too. Zapp and Leela get lost on an “alien” planet, and believe they are the last humans alive. The story isn’t as good as the first episode, since most of it is just Zapp trying to trick Leela into having sex with him, but it was a better episode overall because it was so much funnier than the first one.
Overall, I’m really glad that Futurama is back, and I’m not going to miss any new episodes. It is on Comedy Central at 9PM Central.

Also, this blog will mainly focus on books, but not until after Independence Day.

Welcome!

The purpose of this blog is for me to share the science fiction books I have been reading and the science fiction movies I enjoy watching. I've been reading an average of one book every week, and my ambitious goal is to review a new book each weekend. If I can't keep up that pace, then I'll dig into the archives of previous material that I remember well enough to review.
About me:
I am 22 years old, and I just graduated from the University of Minnesota, Duluth (UMD) with a BA in Economics and a minor in Math. I've been looking for jobs but have found it somewhat overwhelming. In the meantime I have been working at McDonald's. I have a huge interest in space and science fiction. I worked the planetarium at UMD (www.umdstars.org) for three years, and I have read a lot of science fiction books and watched a lot of science fiction movies and TV shows. A few of my favorite authors include Isaac Asimov, Kurt Vonnegut and Philip K. Dick. In school I have taken a science fiction literature class at both the high school and college level (I have read Ender's Game three times for school). I also took a class specifically about JRR Tolkiens the Lord of the Rings at UMD. I am also interested in fantasy, and I'll review it every now and then, but the majority of posts will be about science fiction.
