We tuned in expecting jokes and space hijinks.
What we got… was Seymour.
This wasn’t just a cartoon episode. It was a punch to the soul.
No dialogue. No manipulation. Just one dog… waiting.
Futurama showed us that animated stories could hit harder than real life.
Some of us still aren't over it.

This was the first time a cartoon made silence feel louder than any scream. No dialogue… just loyalty.
Curious—did this scene ruin you instantly, or was it one of those slow ache moments that hit after the episode ended?
Ruined instantly, and still gets me to this day. While they retconned it, the Seymour we see clearly never saw Fry again, so even if that timeline was erased, it still happened at one point!
Exactly. The retcon doesn’t undo the experience we had watching Seymour wait. That pain existed. That version of reality played out—and it wrecked us. Canon might shift, but memory doesn’t.
