Cubert's Rants

Brannigan Begins Again

Cheater!: How could Bender's "chess" (or whatever) pieces attack Fry? They're holograms!

Slip of the Tongue: Hermes tells Fry that the DOOP is just like "the Federation from your old Star Trek programs". It's forbidden to say Star Trek! How can a rule-loving bureaucrat break a police-enforced taboo?

Criminals!: When the scissors come in an addressed package, why do the crew simply take them out and deliver them on their own? Isn't it a felony to tamper with mail that isn't yours?

Be Careful!: Why would the Professor care about the crew, and warn them not to run with scissors. It has been made clear in many episodes that the Professor doesn't care about the safety of the crew.

Survivors?: Why would the DOOP members survive the exploding space station? Even if their module of the station was not blown up, wouldn't they have all been sucked out into the vacuum and killed?

Court Martial!: If Zapp was about to blow up DOOP headquarters, wouldn't Kif have the authority (in fact be obliged) to strip Zapp of his command?

My Brave Crew!: Where is the crew on Zapp's ship? There were many people on Zapp's bridge back in "Love's Labours Lost in Space"!

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury: What is a robot elder from Chapek 9 doing on the jury? Why would a humanoid kiling machine be in a federation of humanoid planets?

Light Sentence!: Wouldn't Zapp receive a slightly more severe punishment than being discharged, after destroying the $400bn DOOP headquarters, regardless of the incompetence of the hillbilly prosecutor?

Solution by mtvcdm - As I said before, naked pictures with a Shetland Pony of the DOOP leader.

You're Hired!: Why would the Professor want Zapp on his crew? Would you entrust your package to such an incompetent person?

It Was the Only Place I Could Park!: Why didn't Leela land closer to the hotel? It would have been a hell of a lot easier!

Heavy Rain: The rain wouldn't actually be too heavy on a high-gravity world. Due to the way rain forms, the drops would be much smaller, and so wouldn't be all that heavy.

Suit Up!: How did Zapp force the space-suit onto Kif? There's no way he could have got it onto his legs while he was standing on the ground!
