I’m with you on your analysis. It wasn’t mindblowingly good, but it was certainly good enough to not feel like a band past its prime trying to cash in on one last payday. I do think that Billy West (Fry)‘s voice has aged some as well, but I got used to it after a minute or two and it was fine.
I think when you’re coming back from cancelation…AGAIN, and especially after so long, it’s not like a pilot, but it requires more exposition than a regular season opener. So it was good enough on its own merit, and I’m grading it on a curve as it’s the first episode in a decade and has to do a bit more storytelling drudgery than your average show.
Fry's voice sounds the same but just slower. Feel like they could fix it by just asking Billy West to talk faster.
Yeah, I thought the same about West's voice. But DiMaggio is noticeably older sounding. Yet, I thought Katey Sagal sounded surprisingly youthful.
Damn really? I didn't notice any difference in DiMaggio's voice but maybe I need to binge the old seasons as I haven't watched them in a while.
Make sure to get your binge suit and a tank of Slurm
It could also be that I've watched other shows with him in it recently. Been watching a lot of Adventure Time and Chowder with my little one.
