I know it’s nearly impossible to pick a favorite Futurama episode, but if you held a ray gun to my head and I HAD to choose it would be Parasites Lost. When I saw “Parasites Regained” in the episode title list for season 11 the hype for new Futurama finally hit me!

So which episode are you most anticipating? Wild speculation about the episodes welcome.

Edited: to add a shameless plug for the Community I just created for another great Groening show, Disenchantment. If you’re a fan of Bean and the gang come on over to /c/Disenchantment!

    Same. The “topical” episodes are rarely great, and they’re often among my least favorite. Who looks forward to Decision 3012, Proposition Infinity, or Attack of the Killer App coming up in their playlist? I generally skip those. There are some good ones, like A Clockwork Origin, but they seem to be the exception. Those episodes also tend not to age well (Attack of the Killer App being the worst offender here in my opinion), and, as you said, several of these themes have been old news for several years now. I’m definitely looking forward to the second half of the season more than the first.

      Ugh, I had Attack of the Killer App completely wiped from my memory until you mentioned it. Such a bad episode. Now I’m left hoping they don’t completely Simpsonize Futurama.
