New episodes of Futurama return this summer, and by the looks of things, thereā€™s an awful lot of space-related wackiness going on, including: parodies of The Thing and E.T., spaceship drag races, Satanic rebooting rituals, some sort of Cobra Command planet, etc. But if youā€™re a fan of the show, no doubt all your enjoyment of these continued hijinks will come to a screeching halt with the sudden, split-second appearance of a certain dog whose certain years-long vigil for a certain owner created a certain abyss of unyielding sadness within you that can never be filled, even with your copious tears. Or what do we know? For those still traumatized by ā€œJurassic Bark,ā€ perhaps this brief glimpse of Fry frolicking with his beloved Seymour again will have you looking forward to seeing happier times. And if itā€™s just a painful reminder, well, at least the workday is almost over, so it wouldnā€™t be too weird if you ran out crying.
