Reversion of "...time travel"

The article mentioned that the head-in-a-jar technology allowed heads of people who predated the technology. The article calls it an "anomaly", implying that it was an error or deliberate oversight.

And maybe it was. But in "All the President's Heads", they explained that the heads are kept in a "temporal bubble", meaning it was not an anomaly. That's what I was trying to say with my parenthetical comment about "time travel".

Do you agree that it's worth clarifying? If so, what's the best way to put it? ShawnVW (talk) 04:40, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

I don't think it's necessary to go into that level of detail...but if other editors disagree, then it shouldn't be added as a parenthetical and it should be discussed (whether as a citation or in prose) where the information is coming from. DonIago (talk) 06:09, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Episode List

The 'Episode List' section of this page is very confusing to read. It also doesn't take into account the season layout on Disney Plus.

On the wiki currently, it states that we are on Season 8. But on Disney Plus, it says we are on season 11.

So what information is accurate? Dr. A. McBrandy (talk) 06:26, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

See List of Futurama Episodes. We list the episodes in the season order intended by the people who made the show, not the people who air it. DonIago (talk) 07:18, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

8th or 9th production season

Another user thought the same thing I previously though about it being the 9th production season. Found out this WGA article wasn't accurate though.. I am now inclined to believe it is still in the 8th season.Speakfor23 (talk) 18:52, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
