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.

    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.
