It’s not even a theory in the scientific sense, like the theory of evolution is. There is no evidence involved, nor experimental data. Intelligent design was created as an “answer” to evolution, nothing more. It could be taught in a theological class, not biology.

Watching the new season made me wonder if I Futurama was ever actually good. Are my fond memories of the old episodes just nostalgia?

No, I started rewatching the old seasons and in my opinion the general quality of the jokes and writing was much higher then. The over-reliance on current-day events just doesn’t work for Futurama, either. But there were some good episodes. For example, I really liked the season finale, the anthology episode.

I think they can make it good again, if they just stick with what made Futurama great in the first place, instead of trying to recreate is into something new.
