I ship Fry/Leela kind of hard. It's a bit embarassing.

I think it's because it seems more realistic to me despite being a futuristic cartoon. Sort of the way The Simpsons used to be before they really dumbed it down. Fry is the typical guy. I don't like when they dumb him down either, but it never went too far, imo. Fry likes beer and video games and partying and sex. He's a slob and he's not perfect. But he's really sweet and he'd do anything for Leela. He's likes who for who she is no questions asked. He's just not some sterotype, somehow. it works so much because he's the type of guy I would likely totally bypass. Just like Leela, I'm not perfect. But I have certain ideals that I'll probably never attain. So I can sympathize with them both. I didn't really make my point clear here, but I'm tired.

I so need to see the pilot again. I decided that even though I shouldn't I ordered the first season so I could bask in it again. It's just so good. And I need something that will make me smile and make me feel smart at the same time right now.

And I hope things get better for everyone soon.
