Professor: Start the ship, Leela. Let’s just steal the damn radar dish and go back to our own time. Fry: But, but won’t that change history? Professor: Oooh, a lesson in not changing history from Mr. “I’m my own grandpa.” Let’s get the hell out of here already. Screw history! [after much destruction, both in time and space (including a missile painted, “Roswell that ends well”)] Professor: Choke on that, causality! The crew says good-bye to 1947 “Roswell That Ends Well” written by J. Stewart Burns Futurama I collapsed in hysterical laughter throughout this whole scene, probably because of the strong presumption in all the science fiction I have read and seen against changing history. Plus the verboten incest-with-your-own-grandma thing. 10:13:06 PM    comment []
