b'\\u201cRoswell That Ends Well\\u201d (December 9, 2001) Equal parts sitcom and sci-fi epic, Futurama has some deep lore, and at the core of one of its most important storylines \\u2014 that Fry is genetically destined to save the universe \\u2014 is the fact that he also accidentally kills his gay grandfather and impregnates his own grandmother. Which is a lot, we realize, but in this episode we try to explain why Futurama is great and why dead, gay Grandpa Enos is vital to the cosmology of the show. If you like deep dives into Futurama, go throw money at the Talking Simpsons Patreon, where they\\u2019ve done whole bonus seasons about it. What does it mean that Leela is \\u201cthe other\\u201d?
