WARNING… the rest of this message contains every SPOILER imaginable. Please skip this post and come back later if you think you will ever watch the Futurama direct to DVD movie Benders Big Score.
Unfortunately that was all I have saved in my IM logs cuz my idiot computer froze and I had to reboot before I could properly close the IM thus saving the log.
Luckily though, the dude I was talking to DID have the convo saved.
Except he uses Trillion and the logs are ugly. =P
Best I could do folks. sorry. Here it is:
Session Start (TEKNORAT4U:MisterAwesome10): Fri Jan 25 13:42:37 2008
[13:42] MisterAwesome10: wake up and explain futurama to me
[13:42] *** Auto-response sent to MisterAwesome10: Sleeping leave a message.
[13:44] TEKNORAT4U: just watch it once again and you’ll get it
[13:44] MisterAwesome10: :-\
[13:44] TEKNORAT4U: I assure you
[13:46] MisterAwesome10: i dont have the patience to watch it start to finish again. i watched the parts i didnt get. and i still have trouble with them.
[13:47] TEKNORAT4U: but you only need keep track of each point he went back in time etc..
[13:47] MisterAwesome10: thats what im watching now…
[13:47] MisterAwesome10: Fry goes back in time to escape the Scammers. Then ___. Then in the future there is Lars-Fry (a duplicate) and regular Fry. I’m having trouble connecting those dots.
[13:49] TEKNORAT4U: Futurama:_Bender’s_Big_Score#Plot
[13:50] TEKNORAT4U: idk I haven’t watched it in a few months
[13:50] TEKNORAT4U: I don’t recall it in detail
[13:51] MisterAwesome10: maybe you SHOULD then. and instead of dumping me off on wikipedia you should just grab a microphone and directors commentary that crap in windows movie maker and send me the you explained version of the movie. ass.
[13:51] TEKNORAT4U: lol
[13:51] TEKNORAT4U: you would fail a temporal physics exam
[13:52] MisterAwesome10: you would fail a lecture on time travel in relation to contemporary animated literature class
[13:52] TEKNORAT4U: mmm orange juice
[14:07] TEKNORAT4U: freaky sex kills man..
[14:09] MisterAwesome10: thats how we lost uncle charlie. and mittens the cat.
[14:09] TEKNORAT4U: lool
[14:10] MisterAwesome10: enough of this life and death crap though. back to things that matter: Futurama Time Travel
MULTIPLE BENDERS:
[14:10] MisterAwesome10: At the end, when all the Benders come out of the cavern… whats up with that? How did they have all the treasure? The whole point was that that Bender went back in time and delivered the treasure to the Scammers. And why were there so many duplicates? He says he met them down there and invited them to come up now “instead of when they were logically supposed to”. I thought he only duplicated once when he went to the bathroom in the year 2000.
[14:12] TEKNORAT4U: no when he goes way back in time for the last time he just waits in the basement and tells all the benders not to go up and give the treasure to the dudes as would have happened in the normal timeline
[14:13] MisterAwesome10: oooooooooo
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TIME DUPLICATE & ORIGINAL:
[14:19] MisterAwesome10: okay – so explain what constitutes and differentiates a duplicate from an original in terms of time travel and im all done
[14:37] TEKNORAT4U: an original travels along the space time continuum goes back in time etc..
[14:37] TEKNORAT4U: when the original meets him or herself in the past then we have a duplicate
[14:37] TEKNORAT4U: the dduplicate is the person in the past
[14:38] TEKNORAT4U: because every time you go back in time you create a paradox
[14:39] MisterAwesome10: so that would make original frozen in 2000 Fry a duplicate that would then be doomed to die since 3007 Fry went back and saw his frozen self?
[14:40] TEKNORAT4U: well they’re only doomed as long as they exist on the same plane of time
[14:40] TEKNORAT4U: if you go back in time
[14:40] TEKNORAT4U: see yourself
[14:41] TEKNORAT4U: and say hey self let’s go forward in time together
[14:41] TEKNORAT4U: eventually your otherself will die
[14:41] TEKNORAT4U: (according to Futurama)
[14:41] TEKNORAT4U: if you go back say hi here’s message so you don’t fuck up your life
[14:41] TEKNORAT4U: then go forward
[14:41] TEKNORAT4U: everything’s cool
[14:43] MisterAwesome10: (pic)
[14:44] TEKNORAT4U: yup yup
[14:47] MisterAwesome10: its weird that they made this their first movie instead of the last. things are gonna be awkward between Fry and Leela now. not to mention the whole destroying the universe thing.
[14:47] *** Auto-response sent to MisterAwesome10: I’m at work, but you can probably still reach me via email.
[14:47] MisterAwesome10: EMAIL!? WORK!? PROBABLY!? VIA!?
More like too lazy to colorize.
