Details Emerge On Futurama's "Rebirth" (and Return)

Posted by timothy on from the you'll-need-a-3d-tv-with-smellovision dept.

Svippy writes "As revealed last summer, Futurama will be returning this year, and while there were conflicts about the cast of the show in the late summer of 2009, a deal was eventually secured. Last week, Comedy Central confirmed the airing of the first episode, 'Rebirth,' will be 24 June 2010. Several other details related to plot and production have surfaced over the months, and for those interested, a full article is available on the subject."

    That, and getting "Life In Hell" online. (For God's sake man! It's an intern, a scanner, and a Facebook page!)

    Only on Slashdot could you get modded informative about a theory concerning a fictitious character on an animated show :)

    My question for you though is could a brain slug control a Hypnotoad?

    Primarily because no other site has a moderation system which allows you to be modded informative.

    In answer to your question: yes, a brain slug could control a Hypnotoad, but what would happen when this slug/toad symbiote looked into a mirror?

    If the brain slug was already controlling Hypnotoad then it would not use his power to hypnotize himself when facing a mirror. Obviously.
