The following contains spoilers for Futurama season 12 episode 9, "The Futurama Mystery Liberry," now streaming on HuluFuturama has steadily transformed one classic way of raising tension into a punchline, and it could have a negative impact on the way the show approaches stakes going forward. Futurama has always had an interesting relationship to stakes, given how the sci-fi setting and comedic tone could theoretically make anything possible as episodes demanded it. This flexibility has been a real strength of the show, allowing Futurama's sci-fi comedy to blend philosophical musings and epic storytelling with bizarre, dark, and often consistently goofy comedy. The show can even take on other genres with ease, as seen in Futurama's horror episodes.
