@Ssscorpion: Pretty sure most things are bigger than a hobbit... I guess maybe not a Dwarf... It's clearly hard to imagine a more important role than the main character, so I'm choosing to take that literally as actually larger than Bilbo.
We're 10 episodes in. A few were clearly still finding their feet, a few were just misses, but most of them have been perfectly appropriate levels of Futurama.
Can we please stop comparing every episode to "old school Futurama" now?
Transcredible Adventures of Zapp Brannigan was great... also, I feel like Zapp REALLY brought it in that episode. I've always liked him, but that episode (and all his lying) actually felt like the best usage of him they've EVER had.
I think they have a little adjusting to do to get back to writing episodes instead of dvd movies (as seen by both episodes having just a little too much to fit the time right), but I feel safe to say that they are in fact back, and they'll get there soon.
