Is Hermes supposed to be the only normal one of the bunch? Think about it. He's the only character who's married, has a kid, and has made something of himself, and the most successful.
All the other characters have their flaws, but it seems like Hermes is the only sane one of the bunch. Him and maybe Scruffy, too. I've always liked Hermes's character.
Well, In every fiction show, there's got to be a 'straight man', or a completely normal character, who's normality is used to enhance how unusual the event taking place in the episode is. In the earlier seasons, say season 1 and some of 2, Fry was the straight man, but over time, he became more and more quirky, which sort of shifted the straight man duty to Hermes. I'm not sure if that's how it actually happened, but that's how it seems.
I wouldn't say Hermes is the straight man. Hermes is not relatable like Fry is (he is a secondary character) and he's not exactly normal as he's a bureacrat, keeping up the business and represent also "exotic culture". However, he does represent traditional, "normal" man, who is career and family oriented. Fry has probably blended in along other characters and he's not so much on the center anymore, he's presented more as a pair with Bender or Leela. I think show, since first cancellation, has been built up with the knowing of storylines from original run and developed with less of the need for straight man.

If they stop posting so much borderline spam, I'd like them.
The 1 in 10 posts where they actually have something to say aren't bad.
Credit to be given where due - the hurt and heal tournament was an excellent idea on Stum's part (albeit one that should've had some more explanation as to how it works at the beginning). I just wish he/she would read the damn rules and stop treating this forum like a chat room.

If you're suggesting that I'm vilace, SolidSnake, then you'd better reconsider that. There's no way in hell that I would ever act that stupid. You seem to be convinced that I am someone's fake account, which I most definitely am not.

There are a couple of things wrong with your statement. 1. It's viclace 2. I never accused you of being viclace. Since you're acting so jumpy now, I think I should accuse you. But hey, I have better things to do then to accuse somebody of making a terribly failed troll account.

Oh. When I originally read your post, for some reason what you said didn't show up. I thought you were merely quoting me, suggesting that I'm viclace. Which I'm not, by the way.

'Tisn't me. My fake accounts are good-natured, harmless and don't troll. I mean... I don't have any fake accounts. It's not Qnuki. I've been in contact with the guy, and he hated the episode as much as we all do.
I liked T: The Terrestrial.

If you call yourself a Futurama fan and say T: The Terrestrial is your favorite episode, you are the exact opposite of a fan. I just hope you are a troll, Vic.

Is the Robot Mafia supposed to be tailored after the Corelones from The Godfather?
They're a reference to EVERY MAFIA MOVIE EVER.

Don't mean to drag back OT, but it's stereotypical to say everyone hates it. I liked it. Actually it's one of my favorites of the season. What episode has the crew underground?
The Holiday Spectacular does. As does Overclockwise.
