Hi:

I've been observing fmf.theinfosphere.org as being a lurker for a little while now.
A '''story arc''' is a recurring overall plot line that spans more than one episode. On ''[[Futurama]]'', numerous story lines appear in several episodes and develop further on this plot, but may have been completely absent in the episodes immediately prior and succeeding these episodes, and sometimes even have gaps in between.
I thought that I'd like toII would like to  get involved and socialize with the folks here.
I'm hoping to make contact with plenty of wonderful people today and discover some exceptional stuff.


I really hope this post didn't end up in an inappropriate place. I'm hoping you'll forgive me if "/index.php?title=Story_arc&action=edit" is incorrect.  
Story arcs are generally used by the writers to explain character backgrounds or used to explain the relationship between two characters, such as the [[Fry-Leela relationship]], which occurs over several episodes.

Futurama is fairly unique among animated shows for its use of these overlying story arcs and continuity. In Futurama, things that occur early in the series can have an impact on later events.
