Well, I'm not Shadowstar, but I hate "The Sting" too. I don't get what people love so much about it. The lack of humor? The forced emotion? The gimmicky and unmoving plot? Stop me if I guess it. And no, I don't hate shippiness. "The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings" is my second favorite episode. Originally posted by fryfanSpyOrama: Jurassic Bark's ending seemed more funny than touching.

Sorry To Bring This Post Up Again...Not To Mention Someone May Have Already Said This, But I Love This Episode And Reading This "I could believe Seymour in waiting, days, weeks, and even months (six months the most) but years? Come on now." Cheesed Me Off, This Episode Was Based On An Actual Story, Where A Dog Layed By His Masters Grave For Years, Until The Dog Died Of Old Age. "but years? Come on now." You Better Believe It.

I think we all need to rememeber that Seymour was a mut that never had anyone who cared about him. He was bonded with Fry because Fry accepted him.
Its like friendship in people. If you had few friend growing up, uyou're more likely to cherish the ones who were 'real friends'.
Seymour is loyalty. That he stayed waiting for Fry is just... Its a sweet sentiment. Maybe if people were a little more like that, the world would be a better place.

Yeah, I think you've nailed it there, the episode was so good at building up the friendship throughout, with Fry being kinda insecure and miserable before he met seymour, and really happy afterwards. You seem like a big thinker YellowSubmarine, welcome to peel! The ending was just cold... that song, the fact that I'd recently lost a pet, and the way he closed his eyes at the end just suggested a miserable death. Although now I think about it, the final scene couldn't have shown him dying, because he was fossilied in an upright position, still at the time it was so depressing. And yet its one of my favourites from season four, too many of the episodes just seemed rushed, Jurassic Bark actually took its time with the story between Fry and Seymour, so people really cared by the end. And yes, I cried like a big girl during the end credits...

He fossilised in that position because rigor mortis made his legs stick out. By the way, I hear that theyre going to have Seymour in one of the DVD movies.

i think "luck of the fryish" "the sting" and "jurrasic bark" were all very moving. i would have to say that jurrasic bark moved me the most followed by luck of the fryish but not for the same reasons. jurrasic bark was just a moving and sad story where luck of the fryish told a little more about fry and his family after he was gone.

That's not how rigor mortis works. Rigor mortis the stiffening and "setting" of a corpse some time following death. It is a strictly temporary thing, and would not last long enough to become the template for fossilisation even if it was the cause of Seymour being fossilised in an upright position. What is far more likely is that the dog died, and the carcass was disturbed just prior to the flash-fossilisation process. So long as the fossilisation happened within a few days of death, but after a good few hours, rigor mortis would not have been any kind of a factor. I needed to comment on that, because it was by far the most ridiculous thing I've read on PEEL in at least a fortnight.

Alternately he was likely buried (by Pennucci in the basmente of the pizza place) wrapped up in plastic bags in a 'standing' position which was then held in place by the dirt.
