action
In 3002, the crew of the spaceship of the interstellar delivery company Planet Express flies - Philip J. Fry , Turanga Leela and the robot Bender , frozen in 2000 and thawed again in 3000 , together with their boss Hubert J. Farnsworth and Dr. Zoidberg , the company's alien doctor - into space to observe a supernova . Due to the interaction of the microwave oven on board the spaceship with the supernova, the spaceship is thrown into the year 1947 and makes an emergency landing at Roswell , in which Bender is thrown out of the spaceship and his body is smashed. When Dr. Zoidberg picks up Bender's individual parts, he is discovered by the military and taken to Roswell Air Base with Bender's remains . Fry is tasked with freeing Zoidberg along with Bender's head, while Leela and Professor Farnsworth try to buy a new microwave oven in town to get them back to the year 3002.
At the air base, Fry meets his grandfather Enos, whom he tries to protect from any supposed danger from now on, fearing that he could cease to exist even with the death of his grandfather. Fry accidentally places him on an atomic bomb testing site, where Enos dies. Contrary to expectations, Fry does not cease to exist. To comfort Eno's friend Mildred, he sleeps with her. This makes it clear to Fry that he is his own grandfather.
With microwave ovens for sale in household goods stores in 1947, Leela and Farnsworth decide to steal the microwave radar from the military base where Dr. Zoidberg is dissected alive under the supervision of President Harry S. Truman . Together with Fry and Bender's head, they attack the base from the spaceship, free Zoidberg and take the remains of Bender's body with them. With the help of the radar antenna, they return to the year 3002.
background
The plot of the episode alludes to the Roswell incident , in which a UFO is said to have crashed in the desert near Roswell in 1947 . Since then, legends have grown up about the fact that an extraterrestrial life form was found that is being held by the military. One television series that portrayed the process of the crash in a similar way to the Futurama episode is Star Trek: Deep Space Nine . In their episode Little Green Men from 1995, a spaceship is accidentally thrown into 1947 and crashes near Roswell.
The process by which Fry becomes responsible for the death of his own grandfather before his father is conceived deals with the grandfather's paradox . In Roswell good - all good this is satirically solved by Fry fathering his own father.
