I've been inspired recently to re-watch the entire run of
Futurama by my recent viewing of
Bender's Big Score, and one continuity error from the movie bugs me watching these eps now...
Spoiler (Highlight or Triple Click to Read):If Bender put the tattoo of himself featuring the time code on Fry's ass back on December 31st, 1999, why can't we see it during the run of the series? Fry's butt is seen in several episodes, and no tattoo.  I realize the writers obviously couldn't have planned that far ahead (even if they did stick Nibbler's shadow on the wall in the pilot), but they could have easilly addressed this plot hole by putting the tattoo on Fry's body in an area where it wouldn't be easilly seen (like, say, the sole of his foot or something). Also, there's clearly not enough room in the freezer tubes for either version of Fry to have hidden somewhere in the back (like when Fry #1 hides in his own tube, and when the older "Lars" Fry hides in his girlfriend's tube). |
Yeah, nitpicky as hell, but hey, it's not a time travel story without at least
some temporal grousing.
