"The Late Philip J. Fry" is the xc-fifth episode of Futurama, the 7th of the sixth production season and the seventh of the seventh broadcast season. Information technology aired on 29 July, 2010, on Comedy Central. After the Professor invents a forward fourth dimension motorcar, he, Fry and Bender accidentally go into the twelvemonth 10,000. To render, they must go along going further into the future until an era when a backwards time machine has been built.

The episode won the 2011 Emmy Award for "Outstanding Blithe Plan".^[ane]

The Story

Act I: "Time?! I can't get back at that place!"

Fry is unable to sleep when Bender brings a female person robot to their apartment and they spend all dark loudly having sex (likewise as intentionally keeping Fry awake). Every bit a result, Fry oversleeps and shows up late for work at Planet Express the side by side morning. The Professor chides Fry for his chronic lateness, saying that he expects Fry to show up for work on fourth dimension, just similar all the other employees; when Fry points out that Leela hasn't arrived nevertheless, he is told that Leela came in on time, but left because a homo was taking her out to tiffin for her birthday. Fry realizes that he was supposed to take Leela to luncheon, and is now tardily for that besides. Fry arrives at Elzar's eating place to meet Leela, but Leela has already finished her meal (and Fry's); she, similar the Professor, is fed up with Fry's inability to exist on time for anything.

Upon returning to Planet Express headquarters, Fry offers to brand his earlier blunder up to Leela by taking her out to the ritzy, subterranean Cavern on the Green eating place that night. Leela is skeptical, particularly when Bender announces that Hedonism Bot is getting married to a firm in the suburbs and will be throwing a huge bachelor party that same evening, but Fry says that he "can throw upwardly on a stripper any fourth dimension", and promises that he volition not stand up Leela upward once again. Fry purchases a tape-your-own-message altogether card for Leela and prepares to exit so he tin come across her precisely on time, but is stopped by the Professor, who tells Fry that since he was late for work that morning, he must help the Professor examination his latest invention: a time automobile. The Professor says that the machine was designed to merely travel forward in time so equally to avoid altering history or doing "something icky", like sleeping with one'south own grandmother.^[3ACV19]

Fry, Bender, and the Professor enter the automobile. Fry begins recording an apology for beingness late again on Leela's birthday card, while the Professor intends to test the machine past sending it 1 minute forward in time. Withal, the Professor trips and falls down while clutching the activation lever, sending the automobile hurtling out of command; in the process, Fry loses Leela's altogether card out the window. The Professor gets dorsum to his feet and shuts downwardly the machine, only the occupants discover that the interior of the Professor'south laboratory has been replaced past a ruined city. The date on the machine'due south display reads: 3 Dec, 10,000 Advertisement.

Fry, the Professor and Bender confronts the year x 000.

Act II: "Did you even see that mountain of skulls?"

Fry is stunned at being thrown then far forwards in time, maxim that he can't be late for his date with Leela; notwithstanding, the Professor reminds Fry that Leela, besides as everyone else they have ever known, has been dead for thousands of years. The trio explore their ruined world, but are unimpressed with the mail-apocalyptic setting. After talking to a group of cavemen, the Professor realizes that while they cannot travel backward in fourth dimension, they can travel forward to a point where someone else has invented a backward-traveling time machine, and use that to return abode. They make a series of progressively larger jumps through time while attempting to observe a sufficiently advanced civilization, and while they run across a number of strange sights, they take no luck in finding a style home.

Back in 3010, Leela endures another lonely birthday dinner. When she returns to Planet Limited, she inquires as to Fry's whereabouts, and is told by Cubert that he, Bender, and the Professor are probably attending Hedonism Bot's available party. Just then, a breaking news bulletin states that a nuclear-powered stripper robot underwent meltdown at the party, killing everyone except Hedonism Bot. Leela is overwhelmed with both anger and grief, believing that Fry died later standing her up again.

Bender, Fry, and the Professor make it in the year Five Meg AD; a race of enlightened, royal-skinned humanoids alive on Earth'southward surface, while Dumblocks - fell, primitive creatures - live below footing. The Professor asks whether these advanced people have invented a backwards-traveling fourth dimension automobile, and is told that they have non, although if they focus their mental efforts toward the problem, they should be able to perfect a solution within 5 years. The 3 promptly jump forward another five years, only to discover that in that time, the Dumblocks have risen upward and slaughtered the entire surface population.

In 3030, Planet Limited has go a larger, more successful visitor following the death of the Professor and Leela's subsequent takeover of the business. Leela is proud of her success, but admits to Hermes that she still misses "the onetime days" while looking at a photograph of herself and Fry. Leela notices that Cubert has grown upward to possess a strong concrete resemblance to Fry, and begins to flirt with him, much to his surprise.

The twelvemonth X Million AD is a nightmare where machines are engaged in a violent, genocidal state of war against the remnants of mankind. Bender cheerfully observes that this "seems like a nice future", and suggests that they remain there, but the Professor and Fry quickly appoint the side by side jump. They next arrive in Fifty One thousand thousand Ad, a paradise inhabited by beautiful and bright women who immediately recognize the group as fourth dimension travelers and actually have a method of traveling back in time. Fry and the Professor are invited to a sensual "fertility feast", merely Bender, unhappy almost being unable to stay in the time to come he liked, spitefully activates the time machine. This triggers a fight among the three, and they travel a large distance frontwards in time, finally arriving in 1 Billion Advertizing.

Here, in the far future, Earth has been reduced to a scorched, arid wasteland, and all life is extinct. Fry wants to keep traveling forrad, but the Professor says this would exist futile, as Earth is now a dead globe. Distraught, Fry wanders back to the remains of the Cavern on the Light-green, where he apologizes to Leela for being a billion years late for her birthday dinner. Glancing downwardly at the basis, he is shocked to detect a bulletin written there, ane that is apparently addressed to him.

In the year k 000 000, all life in the universe is wiped out, and Earth is a vast desert.

Act III: "I made it, Leela. Sorry I'm a billion years late."

In 3050, Planet Express has become a massive corporation. An aged Leela and Cubert are divorced, and Cubert is at present dating Amy, who has become a head on a robotic trunk. While discussing her regrets over marrying Cubert with Hermes (who is a caput in a jar on a pogo stick), Leela is struck past her altogether card from 3010, which has finally emerged from the time stream. Leela opens the card to hear Fry'due south message, in which he explains he volition be delayed by the Professor's fourth dimension travel experiment, and tells her that he loves her, before the experiment visibly goes amiss. Leela is crushed; she has spent the concluding 40 years being bitter and aroused with Fry for something that wasn't even his mistake. Down-hearted, she returns to the abased Cavern on the Greenish, and - drawing upon a lesson about stalagmite germination she learned from a waiter the terminal fourth dimension she was in the restaurant - fires her laser pistol at the ceiling several times, causing aerosol of h2o to autumn to the floor. Satisfied, Leela nods her head and leaves.

By One Billion AD, these droplets of water have accumulated into a series of pocket-sized stalagmites which spell out a brief message from Leela to the time-lost Fry, stating that while their time together was brusk, it was likewise the happiest of her life. Touched by the message, Fry returns to Bender and the Professor, maxim that he has lived a expert life, and proposes that they watch the end of the universe together. Turning the time machine to its maximum setting, they picket as the sun grows into a red giant, consuming the globe, and so fades into a white dwarf, followed past all of the other stars, somewhen leaving nothing but darkness. This, to their astonishment, is followed by a tremendous explosion that the Professor recognizes every bit a 2d Big Bang; he realizes that time must exist cyclical, resulting in the creation of a new universe that should be identical to the previous ane.

The time machine rapidly accelerates through the germination of the Earth, the extinction of the dinosaurs, and subsequent events in world history (with the Professor pausing merely briefly to assassinate Adolf Hitler with a laser cannon). Equally they near their own time, they throttle the machine back, but accidentally skip frontward to 10,000 AD a 2nd time after the Professor falls down once more, forcing them to "get around again". The third trip happens without incident (although this fourth dimension the Professor fails to kill Hitler and mistakenly shoots Eleanor Roosevelt), and the fourth dimension auto materializes in the Professor's lab a short time before it originally left. However, this universe appears to be displaced a few feet from the last ane, as the machine appears in mid-air and crashes to the floor, killing this new universe's versions of Fry, Bender, and the Professor (and avoiding a time paradox). Fry is able to make his date with Leela on time; she admits that she thought he would be late, but he replies that was "the old Fry... he'due south dead now". Fry and Leela share a romantic moment atop a bridge, while beneath it, Bender buries the bodies of the deceased duplicates.

Time travel

Further information: Time travel

In this episode, Futurama deals with a different kind of time travel than episodes such as "Roswell that Ends Well" and Bough's Big Score . The crew travel forwards, and "only" forwards. This originally caused the emergence of multiple explanations amongst fans of the show for the question of how the PX crew actually got ''back'' to their original time frame.

The two theories postulate either a cyclical timeline (Cyclical Time), or a cyclical deterministic universe (Circadian Universe) in which the vacuum resulting from the disuse of the last subatomic particles gives rise to a new quantum vacuum fluctuation that spawns an identical universe to the previous 1 via a second big bang.

Within the Cyclic Universe model, the "2d" big bang is simply ane of an infinite series, and the coiffure that travel through time are not the first to do so. They are part of an infinite concatenation, stretching throughout infinity. They exercise not ever return to their own time, only to an identical re-create, two universes "further down" the "chain" of linked big blindside events and subsequent universal decay.

One of the first theories put frontward. That of a Cyclical Universe.

The major prove to support this theory is a line from the Professor. When the big bang is observed by the timeship crew, he states that it "appears to be a ''second'' big blindside" and that the crew are in a ''new'' universe that is identical to the sometime one.

This model doesn't match upwardly well with the time traveling exploits of the crew in previous episodes. In this model, when a universe ends an equal version is created in its place. It is not an culling universe, but rather a recreation of the very same universe, in which all living things are recreated and everything that happened in the previous universe happens again (unless time travelers change information technology, of course). Or in short, any parallel/alternative universe must ever contain a version of its own universe. This follows a highly deterministic model, where any upshot is effectively "set" and in theory any unmarried "random" event could be predicted by looking at the interactions of all particles since the original event (the large blindside) that set things in motion.

The Cyclical Time theory allows for random and nondeterministic fluctuations within events, and fits in with previously established methods of time travel.

This has been described as the "wheel of fourth dimension", a concept in some religious and philosophical traditions. In this scenario, upon reaching the end of fourth dimension the machine crossed a boundary back into the beginning of time and of the original Universe, like a wheel returning to the spoke where it began spinning. The Professor's statement that "it appears, this universe is exactly identical to the old 1" could propose that it only appears to be a new Universe. And then when it arrived back at the Planet Limited headquarters, the machine finished a cycle of time and stopped at the point when information technology left in the original Universe — although, in this case, the Professor stopped the machine early, catastrophe upwardly 10 feet (3 meters) higher up their next selves and crushing them.

Ane of the Cyclical Time diagrams available on the net.

The Cyclical Fourth dimension theory is consistent with the established Futuramaverse, and has been explored in-depth by fans on the net, however, the Cyclical Universe theory still has supporters. Unfortunately, the DVD commentaries practice non address the upshot, choosing to skip past information technology with the staff basically telling us that they don't care to know all the ins-and-outs – they just had a story to tell.

In this model, there are two things to behave in mind. The first is that the timeship operates ''outside'' of the timestream, and the second is that there is some flexibility with regard to events. For example, Farnsworth kills both Adolf Hitler and Eleanor Roosevelt in split up iterations of the universe. The timeline can be thought of as a Television set circulate, received with static. Small numbers of pixels differ from playthrough to playthrough in various locations. However, the overall movie received is the aforementioned. Whilst there are changes made to the timeline (which should not exist possible in the deterministic Cyclical Universe scenario), these exercise not bear upon much more than the immediate temporal vicinity of the timeline, and cause no appreciable overall effect. For example, killing Hitler or Roosevelt will non modify the Planet Express building's location or design. It volition take no issue on the Planet Limited coiffure, nearly g years later because events will take proceeded according to a full general blueprint. This upshot has been referred to equally "temporal inertia", ie: the tendency for events to proceed towards the outcome expected in a deterministic universe, with changes managing just to produce minute variations (the "static" in the TV moving-picture show, to continue the previous analogy).

Information technology is important to remember therefore, that in the Cyclical Time model, the universe and the timeline appear but ''once'', just practice so over and over and over over again. Time is joined at the beginning and the end, with events existence deterministic only in a general sense, and not down to the particle level, due to the occurrence of time travel (in all its forms).

Information technology should be noted that this framework also supports the cosmos of time paradoxes, whilst in a purely deterministic model, a paradox would cause astringent problems with the nature of determinism and the menstruum of the timestream.

Fry" was viewed by an estimated two.046 million people, a ascent of 100 000 since "Lethal Inspection".^[4] It besides received a 1.3 household rating and a two share. In the 18-49 demographic it got a ane.0 rating and a three share upward 1/tenth of a indicate.^[4]

Zack Handlen of The A.V. Club was enthusiastic about the episode, stating that the episode's jokes and humor were solid throughout.^[v] He was pleased that the relationship between Leela and Fry was "finally" addressed, also feeling that up until this episode, "[t]he writing on Leela hasn't been equally solid this season."^[5] Praising the episode's full use of science fiction and the smart structure of the episode, concluding, "It feels like we're back in the sweet spot here, mixing high and depression comedy with sharp ideas, and a surprisingly uncynical sincerity. Everything former is new again, I guess, and that's a very good thing."^[5] Robert Canning of IGN gave the episode a vii.5 citing information technology every bit some other instance of Futurama's "smart takes" on fourth dimension travel. He felt that "it showed that at that place'south notwithstanding a lot of thought going into plotting out these time trips", although he also stated that the episode did not accept enough laughs.^{[half dozen]} Merrill Bar of Movie Schoolhouse Rejects praised the episode, describing it as "Every joke hits, every line was sweetness, every emotion is true, every visual was middle popping, this episode is Futurama at its finest. If there is any complaint, it's that it took this long for the evidence to regain this level of quality."^[vii] He concluded that, "This combined with last week'southward episode has restored my full confidence in the production team."^[7] Sean Gandert of Paste rated the episode a ix.four/10, and wrote: "'Late' was definitely the best episode of the flavour so far, and ranks with the all-time the show'south ever done. Nigh every episode of this season has been better than the concluding, and it looks similar it'southward finally reached the peaks information technology's hit in the past. As of at present, I think any incertitude virtually the Futurama'south reboot should exist pretty damn well silenced."^[eight]

Series creator Matt Groening considers this episode his favorite episode of the season.^[9] On his Facebook account, Maurice LaMarche commented that he constitute this episode "[h]ilarious, touching, meaningful, philosophical, even metaphysical.

Cohen highlighted the episode as the best of the season according to both the fanbase and the writers. He said that "the episode appealed to both sci-fi fans and romance fans considering it had a skillful emotional story behind information technology as well".^[three]

On fourteen July, 2011, the episode was nominated for Outstanding Animated Program at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards^[11] and on 10 September won the Emmy award,^[ane] making it simply the second Futurama episode - the other being "Roswell that Ends Well" - to win an Emmy for Outstanding Blithe Program. The episode was named #iv on IGN's listing of top 25 Futurama episodes.

Trivia

Sometime Leela from 3050 is visible through the glass when the time auto sets off the first time.

A promotion flick for this episode.^[12] Notice the redhaired woman on the left, her hair became white in the episode.

• The story basis is a re-telling of the Poul Anderson novel Flight to Forever.
• The time on the fourth dimension machine when the trio initially get in reads 7/29 10:05 3010 Ad, which is chiliad years to the infinitesimal after the scene showtime aired.
  • This besides identifies Leela's birth appointment.
  • It also means that Leela and Fry scheduled dinner for some fourth dimension afterward 10pm, which is considerably later than the normal dinner time in 21st century culture.
  • This is probably the tertiary time the verbal date of the episode is given, the first existence "Space Pilot 3000" and the 2nd beingness "Love's Labours Lost in Space".
• When the time machine is accidentally started the first fourth dimension, one can freeze frame and see Old Leela go hit past the card through the drinking glass (pictured to the right).
• The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center tin can be seen when the group is travelling through the existence of the second universe. It is covered black, perchance to muffle any resemblance to the real towers.
  • In the immediate following shot, however, the Twin Towers are yet standing, and accept been dwarfed by several other skyscrapers. This may sugest that in the succeding universe, nine/11 never occurred.
• The three books Bender throws in the fire for warmth are The History of the Human Race, Backwards Time Travel Made Easy (written in AL1), and a first-generation Amazon Kindle.
• Adolf Hitler said "Betrachten Sie meinen Schnurrbart!", which translates to "Look at my moustache!".
• In the original bicycle of the universe, the Professor unlocks and opens the fourth dimension car door using a remote command with a protruding antenna, but in the new wheel, the Professor uses a device that resembles a machine key.
  • This could be a nod in the direction of the revived series of Doctor Who, where the Tenth Dr. (portrayed by Scottish actor David Tennant) uses both a key and a remote to lock and unlock his own time machine.
    • This could also exist due to the influence of various changes that have been made to this cycle's history. This would support the CT rather than CU framework. Trivial changes are possible, but the full general "shape" of events stays the same. Determinism would not allow for such, and the key would be the aforementioned as the previous cycle's.
• "The Late Philip J. Fry" is the seventh episode of broadcast season seven and involves time travel. "All the Presidents' Heads" is the 7th episode of broadcast season viii and also involves time travel.
• When asked to pick their favorite scene in the testify, both Matt Groening and David X. Cohen picked a scene from this episode.^[13]
• The fashion of the 3050'southward as well every bit the design of the time auto resemble steampunk.
• Zoidberg is alive in 3030 which means that he probably hasn't yet experienced the mating frenzy.
• The final Universe appears to accept Drawing Physics as the time car is unaffected by gravity until the Professor stops talking.

Allusions

• The knight riding an ostrich is a reference to the classic video game Joust.
• The scene with Fry seeing the human, ape, bird, cow and slug versions of the Statue of Liberty is a reference to Planet of the Apes, which ends with the main grapheme seeing the fallen Statue of Liberty, and realising he is on Globe of the hereafter.
• The song during the beginning fourth dimension travel montage is based on "In the Year 2525".
• The yr v million, with humanity split into two species, i primitive and one intelligent, is a reference to the future depicted in H.G. Wells' The Time Auto. The before concept of 3 books that could restore man civilisation - those that Bough throws onto the fire - likewise as the visual upshot of watching time pass at an acclerated speed from a mitt-operated time machine are allusions to the original Time Machine film accommodation.
• The year 10000000, in which the remnants of humanity fight a post-apocalyptic state of war against the machines, is a reference to the Terminator flick series, as well as the Matrix series. The setting resembles Los Angeles in 2029 in The Terminator.
• Watching the temporal finish of the universe as a show act is reminiscent of Douglas Adams' novel The Restaurant at the Terminate of the Universe (2nd part of the Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy), where the stop of the universe is used as a regular show act in said eating house. Unlike this episode, nevertheless, the eating place exists in its ain time bubble, which is unaffected by the terminate of fourth dimension and space.
• While watching the end of the universe, Fry likewise utters the phrase: "And so long, Earth, thanks for the air and what-not". Considering the setting, this is a articulate nod to the title of the novel So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish (4th part of the Hitchhiker'southward Guide trilogy).
• When Leela finds Fry's carte du jour, she realizes she's wasted the years being angry virtually something that didn't happen every bit she thought, a nod to "The Upside of Anger" starring Joan Allen.
• When Farnsworth once again accidentally sends himself, Fry and Bough to the yr 10,000, Bender says, "Mitt over the keys, Magoo!" This is a reference to the cartoon character Mister Magoo, who was infamously old and nearsighted and got himself in all kinds of hilarious trouble because he didn't wear glasses.
• When the time travel paradoxes are taken intendance of, Bough shouts, "Yabba-dabba-do!" This is the catchphrase of Fred Flintstone.
• When Fry makes his date with Leela, he dresses in the same outfit as Carl Sagan when he hosted the "Creation" series.
• Cubert in the year 3050 resembles Biff Tannen from the Back to the Future series.
• The "Cavern on the Green" eating place is a reference to the real Tavern on the Dark-green eatery in New York's Central Park.
• The Professor intends to test the time automobile past going forrad in time one infinitesimal as Einstein the dog does in Dorsum to the Future.

Continuity

• The altogether song Elzar sings to Leela was used in "I Second that Emotion" for Nibbler's political party. The traditional "Happy Birthday" song had been copyrighted at the time of this episode airing so information technology would be very expensive to utilize. The Tv writers oft tried to find inventive ways around it.
  • The traditional birthday song is now public domain.
• Curious Pussycat makes its 5th appearance.
• The creation of a forward only time machine is stated to be to prevent against paradoxes. Both Fry^[3ACV19] and Bender^{[Bulletin board system]} have previously acquired such paradoxes.
  • The Professor refers to the previous time travel episode "Roswell that Ends Well", saying they won't do something disgusting like sleeping with one's own grandmother.
  • Bender briefly refers to his time travelling in Bender's Large Score, saying "Time?! I tin't get back at that place!"
• The concept of fourth dimension being cyclical was previously mentioned in "The Cryonic Woman" by the man who wanted to meet Shakespeare.
  • Interestingly, in that episode Fry claimed fourth dimension was a "straight line", with confidence suggesting it had been proven, but here we encounter it is indeed cyclical.
    • Despite the defrostee Fry met existence correct almost the nature of fourth dimension, his plan was however flawed. He cryogenically froze himself, hypothesising that fourth dimension cyclical nature would make it possible for him to meet Shakespeare. However the man would have been unable to meet Shakespeare through cryogenics, because the cryogenics lab wouldn't have survived the destruction of Earth like the time machine does. As well, the end of the universe would have occurred somewhere around 10^38 years subsequently the destruction of the planet. Fifty-fifty if the cryogenic tube had miraculously survived Earth's destruction, the metallic in the chamber would have broken down long before the universe would starting time over. Further, even if the bedchamber had somehow endured to see the universe restart, the defrostee would need to wait some other xiii.vii billion years to attain Shakespeare's time.
• In the end of the episode, equally the trio travels into the twelvemonth 3010, we see moments from several old episodes:
  • "Space Pilot 3000" - the destruction of New York City and the medieval reconstruction from when Fry was frozen.
  • "Love'south Labours Lost in Space" - the Professor showing a hologram of Vergon six.
  • "Amazon Women in the Mood" - Amy, Leela, Zapp and Kif discussing their upcoming double engagement.
  • "Hereafter Stock" - Fry and That Guy waking the crew for a meeting.
  • "A Taste of Freedom" - Fry and Zoidberg dancing the Liberty dance.
  • The Beast with a Billion Backs - the Professor having been infested past Yivo, scaring Leela, Amy, Hermes and Wernstrom (who is coloured differently from the previous universe).
  • "Attack of the Killer App" - Fry, Hermes, Bough, Zoidberg and Amy playing with their eyePhones, and Leela crashing the ship.
    • The Professor states that they take one year to go immediately subsequently this scene, implying that a twelvemonth has passed over the course of the preceding four episodes.
• Again, Bender plays the washboard, having previously played his body equally a washboard in "Bendin' in the Wind".
• The Professor already worked on a time machine every bit mentioned in "A Clone of My Own", however it was unsuccessful and had prepare him dorsum 15 years.
• Because the Professor disintegrated Hitler in the 2d universe, the second universe's Professor couldn't have put his encephalon into a shark equally he claimed he had done in "A Clone of My Own". Considering he was widely criticized for doing this, he might have wanted to kill Hitler solely to save face up.
• The weapon the Professor used to shoot Hitler and subsequently Eleanor Roosevelt was the same used by Zapp Brannigan against the holograms of the Holo-Shed.
• The Cavern On The Green was likewise seen briefly in "Fourth dimension Keeps on Slippin'" during the panning across the park at the beginning of the episode.
• This marks the 2nd time Hermes is seen as a head in a jar, the beginning being Bender's Big Score.

Quotes

Elzar: Weren't yous the loser who got stood upwardly at my other eatery?
Leela: Shut up and bring me two dinners!

Fry: Hey, uh... What was the purpose of life, anyway?
Professor Farnsworth: Who knows? Probably some hogwash about the human spirit.
Bender: Mm-hm.
Fry: Sounds about correct.

Hedonismbot: Everywhere I looked there were piles of bodies... and then the explosion struck!

Professor Farnsworth: The stars are receding. Oh, the vast emptiness!
[The Professor shakes his empty beer can.]
Bender: Yeah, yeah, I can accept a hint.

Fry: That was the old Fry. [Interruption.] He'due south dead at present.

Goofs

• Bold the fourth dimension machine stays in the same place in New New York because it follows the natural rotation of the World, it nonetheless would not occupy the same infinite equally the newly formed World until the twelvemonth 3002, when the events of "Crimes of the Hot" move the Globe to a new orbit farther from the Sun. The Globe would exist "built-in" and most of its history happen far away from the forrard time machine.
  • Information technology is possible that the fourth dimension machine not only follows the natural rotation of the Earth, only as well stays in the same spot no matter where the Earth is.
  • And the event went the aforementioned as in the "by" universe, and then "Crimes of the Hot" would even so go down moving the Globe.
• When the duplicate crew is crushed by the time machine that prevented the time paradox, what about the fourth dimension automobile'due south duplicate? We could presume Professor Farnsworth dismantled information technology to prevent that paradox. We could likewise assume that nonsentient machines aren't affected by such paradoxes.
  • If this is an entirely new universe, the versions of Fry, Bough and the Professor that were crushed by the time car are not technically paradoxes, but independently identical versions of the iii. Therefore, we can presume that the duplicate time machine's connected existence does not pose a paradox either. This basically means that the trio killed their innocent counterparts in the new universe, who were non paradoxes and posed no threat to causality. This is, all the same, unsupported by the CT model.
• When Leela returns from The Cavern on the Green. Zoidberg's trousers are white for the get-go one-half of the scene.
• When we see the events of The Animate being with a Billion Backs, Wernstrom is coloured incorrectly.
• When we see the events of "Attack of the Killer App", there is no shrapnel flying effectually in contrast to the original episode. Also, the taco and the spaghetti are gone.
• The ruins of Planet Express in the year 10000 match the current edifice, non the expanded versions of the twelvemonth 3030 or 3050. This could be explained by maxim the original building stayed in the same place, and the buildings in 3030 and 3050 were simply modular expansions, or in a different location. Only if the future buildings are in unlike places, and so Leela couldn't have been knocked downward by the birthday card
  • The Time Machine was moving forward through time and so apace that it was impossible to make out annihilation outside of the window, equally nosotros can merely vaguely encounter futurity Leela. The expanded versions could have been destroyed completely and only the original building was partially standing.
• 1 time in the fourth dimension lapse to prove the Overflowing Era, the fourth dimension motorcar moves slightly up and to the side, changing the identify where they are, and should in fact no longer be in the Planet Express building in the 2 new iterations of the universe.
  • This may have been intended, since when they finally come up back, they are above the original Fry, Bender and Farnsworth.
• Before stopping the fourth dimension automobile, the Professor says it's just i more year, simply but earlier that we saw scenes from "Attack of the Killer App", that is ready less than a month earlier.
  • This may just hateful that even if he hadn't fallen over, they'd have been tardily. Also, in the Duh Vinci Lawmaking, Fry and Hubert travelled for 2 months between Earth and the Vincians planet
• The slot that the handle slides through on the controller changes twice. From being longer and extending backwards where it should technically be backwards time travel to not having a slot bachelor for going forward in time.
• Despite having survived beingness completely flattened, paradox Bender died considering he was crushed.
  • Alternatively, he may take been immobilised, muted and cached live. Information technology'due south possible that he simply agreed with existence buried alive, since in "Roswell that Ends Well" he said that he enjoyed the thousand years of being buried in the ground. Also, being flattened once could've weakend him, allowing him to be crushed.
  • As explained in Bender's Large Score, the doom field increases whenever a time paradox indistinguishable is created, so the paradox Bender from this episode had a higher gamble of dying from flattening than regular Bough.
• In the year v million the human race has evolved into intelligent pink creatures and Dumblocks just in the yr 10 1000000 information technology's dorsum to normal.
  • The reason for this could be that human evolution started all over again with the Dumblocks, who evolved into humans.
  • It'south possible that a few humans remained.
  • Though it's fairly logical that only ane grouping of humans evolved into the pink creatures and Dumblocks'southward, with a chronospecies morphologically more similar to Homo sapiens sapiens surviving and later taking dorsum the Earth
  • Humans could likewise take been brought dorsum by The Concluding Encyclopod.
• When the Professor gets out of the time machine to impale Hitler, the time machine doesn't move (only moves through time), so he couldn't have gotten to Germany to kill Hitler.
  • He may have just used the teloportation bit at that 1 point.
• The Professor and Bender don't seem to be surprised to detect that the dinosaurs were killed by a behemothic brain. Further, why was Bender so excited to see dinosaurs anyhow? They'd been cloned by the 31st century, Bender's seen them earlier.
  • He probably never saw footage of the very first generation of dinosaurs. Also, the Brain Spawn might take wiped their memories of it.
• In "A Fishful of Dollars" Amy states that cows are extinct, however, in the year 10000 a cow civilisation has existed at some point between 3050 and 10000.
  • The Encyclopod may exist responsible for this.
• Older Leela is knocked to the floor by a floating altogether card. Even with the many problems of old age, information technology is still impossible for a person to get knocked over by something that is that much smaller and lighter than them. If emerging from the fourth dimension machine increased its kinetic energy, it would brand more sense for the card to simply crumple when hitting Leela, due to the ratio of their mass as well every bit the material the card is fabricated of. However, one can argument that the forcefulness of the menu would still be a function of mass times acceleration.
• Since fourth dimension progresses regardless of whether the universe ends, it can exist causeless that every other episode will take place billions of years in the future.
• After the big bang is seen past the coiffure, the timeship starts to show years in B.C. rather than A.D., the way that the Professor programmed his motorcar should brand the machine bear witness the year in A.D. from the previous wheel.
  • Given the inconsistency of time in general, and how hard it would be to really calculate it, it is more than likely that the time machine observes the universe around it and decides on what time it is based on that. It would therefore make skillful sense for it to show BC when information technology came around.
  • BC was probably added in hopes of calculation backwards travel at a afterwards appointment. Additionally, Farnsworth may have manually reset the clock on seeing the Big Bang. Nevertheless, this could business relationship for the inaccuracy of Farnsworth's countdown.
• Years are however displayed on the time motorcar clock after the Earth was destroyed and before it was formed. Notwithstanding, a vast majority of the time that they are in is during these, and without World, years do not exist.
  • Well, technically they do, there's just no way to re-calibrate information technology if information technology slipped out of alignment, as the reference point was gone.
• Afterwards the events of Bender's Big Score, Bender could still retrieve the lawmaking for the fourth dimension sphere and if so would be able to get backwards in time. While it was blanked from his retentiveness during the course of the episode, and burned off of Fry'south buttock, Bough used information technology one last time afterwards and may accept memorized information technology.
  • Nibbler could've erased information technology from his retention.
• Bender, Fry and the Professor technically didn't take to go around again later on they missed 3010 the starting time time. They could accept just gone forward to 50,000,000 and used the ladies' time travel method.
  • It'southward probably easier to go around over again then become out, bargain with the ladies and then use their time auto.
• In the scene where the droplets of h2o start to class Leela'due south love alphabetic character, the other stalagmites nearby don't abound up too.
  • This is logical because there is no longer h2o falling on those, the holes she made could have altered the period completely.
• Since, in Bender's Big Score, the tattoo on Fry's barrel had no origin, yet was still used, a like idea could have been used in this episode to become the time code dorsum. Here'south how: Bough comes back from a minute in the future, and gives Original Bender the time code. We yet don't know how Future Bender got the fourth dimension lawmaking. And so we wait a minute, and Original Bender jumps back in time to requite "By Bender" the time code. Nosotros are now left with one Bender, who has the time code.
  • Yet the tattoo paradox had simply appeared, for this to work the crew would have to able to wish a paradox into existence.
• During Bender's "hambone break", a dabble can be heard accompanying the music, even though Bender and the fembot are only playing a washboard and a jug.
  • It'due south possible Bender had a tape recording of a dabble.
• When Fry starts to record the altogether message on the carte, y'all see Bender'south head plough. However, when Leela reads it years later, Bender'south head doesn't move.
  • It's possible the card cut that out of the video.
• When Fry, the Professor and Bender travel to the year 105105, Bender pulls the Professor into the time travelling machine to get away quickly, however, when he pulls him in he completely disappears.
• Later on saying that the World is dead, Professor Farnsworth says, "This is the end of all things!" Nevertheless, there are all the same presumably other planets probably hosting other lifeforms.
  • Information technology could be possible that he was exaggerating.
  • Another possibility is that fifty-fifty if life existed on other planets, they had no way of getting to them.
• Amy and Hermes are both shown as head jars in the year 3050, but they should still be alive equally they're merely 70 and 91 respectively and, in the 31st century, this period of life has been shown to be comparable to the 'middle-age' of our fourth dimension.
  • Amy and Hermes could have lost their bodies due to illness or injury, thus having the need to keep their heads in jars.
  • Perchance his body was stolen past Bender during Bender'south Big Score.
• In the scene where machines are overthrowing humanity the soldiers are using the exact aforementioned light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation guns as the DOOP regular army uses and wearing identical uniforms even though it's been a million years.
  • The DOOP may yet exist.
• In the beginning of the episode, a pot of coffee is dumped on Fry. As we see in the window, the sun is near the horizon. When nosotros see his clock, it turns out that it is xi:55 AM. At that time, the dominicus should exist almost straight to a higher place, rather than nigh the horizon.
• When Fry enters the Cavern on the Greenish for the start time, he is standing by the words "Love Fry,". Yet when Leela carves the message, she enters and exits from "Leela". Fry ia and so shown to leave from "Leela" as well.
