Futurama ’s surly robot , Bender , is mostly know for not giving much of a tinker’s damn about anything , and for being actively incompatible towards anything sound . In this instalment , for once , we see him brook up for what count to him . With a little aid from the criminal court system .
looter before …
“ Free Will Hunting ” crams in so many events that at first I think it might be one of those “ Anthology of Interest ” episodes , with three quicky stories packed into one sequence . Within the first third of the show , Bender chooses to put on dweeb glasses , gets ask in to a sorority party , take over money from the automaton maffia to get into college , fall in with a gang and drops out of college , prostitute himself for drugs , has his earnings slip by the golem Cosa Nostra , goes into the hospital , receive out , and mugs some girls scouts . That ’s just to get us to the main dilemma of the episode . Bender philosophically opine , “ Life is about decision . Make the unseasonable one and you ’ll end up face down in a pool of your own bloodline and urine . ”
Zoidberg helps us see the bright side with , “ Still ! To have your own pool ! ”
When Bender goes to court for mugging the scouts , he ’s horrified when his attorney argues that , as a robot , he ’s an automaton that does n’t have any free will , and so ca n’t be look at shamefaced of anything . desire to make conclusion of his own , Bender go on a journey of find that takes him all over the Robot Home World , worshiping the Whole eBook at the Church of the Binary Singularity , and at long last back home to Earth to expect for the legendary free will knap that some scientist of Mom ’s ( you ’ll never guess who ) , invented .
This was a decent episode , but the pace was so breakneck that it could n’t build up to anything really huge . I would have thought it was meant to be a tour of Bender ’s whole aliveness and experience — except Flexo was n’t there . Those of you who go steady Fear of a Bot Planet will enjoy reuniting with the Robot Elders , who still have their desperate motive for secrecy ( ! ) . mum ’s always a eruption , but still — it ’s not a remain firm - out instalment .
That is , it ’s not a tolerate - out except in one area . An alert reader sent in the above screen ceiling . The robot gang that Bender gets involved with is jazz as the Ink Jets . The tattoo creative person that they go to has a tattoo of a screw on his chest . Under that turnkey ? The letter NOSd3 ( Epson ) . When it come to crappy printer ink cartridges : Never forgive , never blank out .
