Futurama writer reveals the origin of ‘Jurassic Bark’, the saddest episode of the series

The Futurama episode jurassic bark It went down in history as one of the most beloved episodes of this long-running animated comedy…as well as one of the most challenging episodes to watch. In the episode, it is revealed that Fry’s lovable dog Seymour has spent years waiting for his best friend’s return, eventually hanging out at the pizzeria where Fry worked for years and dying there after a delivery boy accidentally lost it in a refrigerated tube and woke up. A thousand years into the future. The episode is one of the first things to appear in anything Futurama conversation.

In fact, the series later fell back on this a bit, giving Seymour a happy ending (via copy magic!), which didn’t impress most fans. As sad as Park is, he was, after all, a wonderful example of humanity at the core FuturamaWhich helped the series to transcend its broad characters and ambiguous concepts.

“We always tell ourselves that we make choices for the benefit of others, and those stories we tell ourselves are often compelling, but that doesn’t mean they are always true, Futurama Author Eric Kaplan said: slateWho jokingly asked him if the point of the episode was to crush the souls of the audience. “So the point of that episode is for Frey to tell himself a story that Seymour would never have been waiting for, and wanted him to go on with his life. And you can see why that story is so helpful for Frey to believe. But it’s not true. Primo Levy writes about Auschwitz, and says he didn’t No one has ever seen a Gorgon what it was like. So we are all in the position of being ignorant of writing about death. Perhaps one of the emotional roles of those theatrical stories is that they let us experience the end. In real life, the end we’re going to have, we can’t report it once. Other. So by having a story that has an end, we get to imagine what it will be like when you have the end, death, and then you come to the other side and have some kind of perspective on it.”

Regarding the revelation that Seymour had lived most of the rest of his life happily ever after with Fry’s version, Kaplan said he did not want to criticize the work of other writers in public.

Nevertheless, he said, “This is what we might call, in the trade of philosophy, some pristine baseball.”
