    Yeah, change for the worse. It made her just another idiot like the rest of the cast. We already have enough of those in the show.

        You’re right, she kept getting dumber as the series went on. But they seem to be leaning especially hard into “dumb Leela” now.

          I don’t really agree that she was dumb in last week’s episode. If I recall correctly, they didn’t know how life threatening the binging was until after Fry was too far gone to immediately be saved, and once they did know the problem, she was at the forefront of keeping him alive.

            Supporting Fry as he’s voluntarily encased in a device with tubes and hoses to feed him and extract his waste so he can binge-watch TV is incredibly stupid. It makes sense for the rest of the cast to not really care, that’s how they are, but it’s jarring to see Leela go along with it, too.

              Yeah I guess you’re right on that. I still don’t mind its usage in the episode since she acknowledges that she wouldn’t normally go along with something like that and since she does lead the charge in keeping him alive when they find out it is a problem, but I can see how somebody wouldn’t enjoy it. I hope the rest of the season is better and can give you some stuff to enjoy!
