We tuned in expecting jokes and space hijinks.
What we got… was Seymour.
This wasn’t just a cartoon episode. It was a punch to the soul.
No dialogue. No manipulation. Just one dog… waiting.
Futurama showed us that animated stories could hit harder than real life.
Some of us still aren't over it.

It’s wild that racism had to be parenthesized—as if it was just a side note. That word shaped decades of “normal” entertainment. This isn’t just nostalgia; it’s unmasking the blueprint.
No, it was just the convention of putting (nsfw) after a link to avoid getting banned, except that specific abbreviation didn't seem like the right one.
my poor gf watched this with me right before work so she couldnt let the tears fall
I dread the day my dog won't be by my side. She made me tap into a wealth of caring and nurturing I didn't know I had.
same, but my cat instead.
I never watched Futurama again after this one. I didn't trust them to not randomly destroy my soul.
I always refer to this as the "I need to hug my dog again" episode
When Fievals dad dies.
When Little Foots mama dies.
Mufasa.
Right in the feels every time up until you know that fry went back so he could become Lars. Fry is the paradox. He is is own grandfather.
They shit all over this episode with the return series episodes that basically retcon everything in this one.
This episode did not make me want to walk on sunshine.
Although the movie where Lars takes care of Seymour kinda makes this ending a little more hollow.
Facts. That Lars twist softened the blow a little—but didn’t fully patch the trauma. It’s like putting a Band-Aid on a hole in time.
I felt it was a bad choice. It cheapened the soul-crushing ending.

"I'll never forget him. But he forgot me a long, long time ago."
If it takes forever
I will wait for you
For a thousand summers
I will wait for you
This was the first time a cartoon made silence feel louder than any scream. No dialogue… just loyalty.
Curious—did this scene ruin you instantly, or was it one of those slow ache moments that hit after the episode ended?
Ruined instantly, and still gets me to this day. While they retconned it, the Seymour we see clearly never saw Fry again, so even if that timeline was erased, it still happened at one point!
Exactly. The retcon doesn’t undo the experience we had watching Seymour wait. That pain existed. That version of reality played out—and it wrecked us. Canon might shift, but memory doesn’t.
Never forgive Fry for not defosilizing him after he eaited.
Eaited” lives in my head rent-free. And yeah, Fry really said “nah, I’m good” and just walked away like Seymour wasn’t a whole monument. Defosilize my boy
If you watch the Comedy Central episodes, Seymour had a good long life with Fry's time travel paradox twin before he was flash-fossilized.
thats exactly what I was thinking.
