Hello Don - good to see you're still here! I remember reading your
posts here back in 2001/2002 :)
I was wondering myself what made someone doomed, but I'm not entirely
satisfied with this explanation. Fry *always* travelled
instantaneously forward in time, and nobody else ever really did. The
Benders and Hermes' body were just waiting in the limestone cavern
(Bender could now be millions of years old?). The scammer who first
tested the time travel spent the night doubled with himself. They all
just waited somewhere off-stage until just after the original
disappeared.
At the end of the film the remaining Fry is the one who in went back
in time to escape the Scammers and then again for pizza. He has also
frozen himself (travelled instantaneously forward) a total of 3 times
now, twice for 1000 years and once for 7.95 years. So there is either
no correlation between the number of trips backwards/forward and
doomediness, or, as you say, Lars got it wrong.
Has anyone had any luck with the "insolvable time formula" yet? I
plotted it and it just looked like some superimposed waves (

). I couldn't
do anything with the globetrotters "solved" formula, because I don't
know what the doom coefficient is :) Do they still have all those
maths PhDs on the writing staff?
I'm also still wondering what was so bad about Dwight and LaBarbara
being called "Slim". I think I'm missing a joke there. Dwight Slim?
