New Year, new life!
There is indeed a new life waiting for the pizza delivery boy Fry, the lead
actor in the comedy-sci-fi series Futurama,
as he travelled to the year 3000 after he accidentally found himself in a time
machine. In that year in the future, every human is given their own career
chips which dictate their fates in the world. They “gotta do what they gotta do”
whether they like it or not. Unfortunately for Fry, he was destined to be a
delivery boy again. He disagreed to be one, but eventually accepted his role in
the end as he found himself in the company of his newfound friends in the
character of the robot Bender, Lila (an alien who works on earth) and Prof. Hubert Farnsworth
(his great-great-great-great-great-great-great… nephew).
The show’s take on the future and science
In Futurama, our present world was invaded by aliens and then there came the revival of medieval period, then destroyed again by aliens, and there came the future (in the year 3000) where everything is bizarre. There are inventions that seem so impossible to create here in the present like the tube-shaped time machine, all sorts of spaceships used for transportation, the career chips implanted to every human’s hand that dictate their fates, and the thing that very much called my attention –the suicide booth. Because of the high standards of science depicted, everything seems so easy and possible in the future.
How does it tackle
time travelling?
Time travelling in Futurama is as easy as locking yourself in a tube and controlling it by adjusting the ‘spinner’. Also, anyone can travel. It can be a medium to escape your past life like Fry did. He was glad that he had escaped his past life because, he said, he was broke, he had a humiliating job, and he was cheated by her girlfriend. Time travelling is a thing available to anyone who wishes to be somewhere else.
(It is an interesting and entertaining show. I am actually encouraged to watch all the episodes.)
