I went in pretty skeptical, but I have to say, it's good enough for me to feel comfortable saying it's actually more Futurama. There's a small hump to get over with the voice actors having aged, but unless you're an existing hardcore fan who's listening for it, I think Hermes is the only that sounds noticeably different, but I can get used to it.

I also feel like it's strangely anachronistic in referencing modern day trends and technology. Futurama began in a time before streaming and all of that existed, so hearing it reference these things sticks out like a sore thumb, but it's not like Futurama didn't already reference real life subjects outside of Sci Fi, it's just something I'll get used to as the novelty wears off and it settles in with the rest of the show in my mind.

Overall, not earth shatteringly good, but I enjoyed it, and I'll absolutely be on the hook to keep going as more episodes are released.

Ok interesting, I noticed Fry's voice first! It smacked me in the face how familiar but aged he sounded! I'll have to pay attention to Hermes in the next episode.

Overall, I liked the episode! I thought the topical references toward the beginning were funny.

It felt very fast to me though. Maybe just because it was something new, idk, but it felt like it went by so quick.

Fry was a little more gravely and a little more of a relaxed cadence.

Leela actually had a single line with a bit of a grandma waiver.

They're like 70 and 69 years old. there's no way i would that consistent when i'm that old :)

Bender was on point though.

Jesus christ I had no idea they were that old. That is seriously impressive
