"Roswell That Ends Well" is the 19th episode of the third season of the animated television series ''Futurama''. This episode, which won an Emmy Award, originally aired on December 9, 2001 as the season premiere of broadcast season four. It was written by J. Stewart Burns and directed by Rich Moore. The episode centers on an accidental time travel event that results in the main characters participating in the Roswell UFO Incident in 1947.〔 ==Plot== As the crew watches a supernova from point-blank range, Fry puts a non-microwaveable metal "Iffy Pop" container into the ship's microwave. This causes a reaction between the microwave radiation and the "gravitons and graviolis" from the supernova that sends the ship to 1947. On their return to Earth, the crew finds a complete lack of a Global Positioning System, causing them to crash-land in Roswell, New Mexico. Refusing to wear a seat belt like the rest of the crew, Bender is catapulted out of the front of the ship upon crash-landing and smashed to pieces. The crew and Bender's disembodied head go to seek out a way to return, leaving Zoidberg behind to pick up the pieces. However Zoidberg is captured by the U.S. military and taken to Roswell Air Base for experimentation. Assuming the pieces are the remnants of a flying saucer, the military "reconstructs" Bender's body as such. Meanwhile, the microwave needed to return to the future has been destroyed and replacements have not been invented yet. A microwave antenna from the army base would work, but Professor Farnsworth warns against using it; they must preserve causality or risk changing history and doing damage to the future. While disguised as a soldier, Fry visits his grandfather, Enos, who is stationed at the base and engaged to Fry's grandmother Mildred. Near-accidents cause Fry to become obsessed with protecting Enos from possible harm after the Professor tells him he will cease to exist if Enos is killed. While obsessively trying to keep Enos safe from possible harm, Fry accidentally brings about his death by leaving him in an abandoned house located in the middle of a nuclear weapon testing range when he thought it was in the middle of nowhere; Bender pointedly remarks, "And you are outta here!" Despite Enos being killed, Fry still exists. He encounters and consoles his beautiful would-be grandmother Mildred. She propositions him, and Fry deduces that since he is alive, Mildred must not have been his grandmother, so the two end up having sex. When the rest of the group finds him, the Professor insists that Mildred is indeed Fry's grandmother. Fry realizes that he is his own grandfather and panics; this makes the situation much worse and clear for Fry as Mildred starts to display elderly tendencies such as knitting and using a hearing trumpet. The Professor gives up on noninterference as they are running out of time to get back to the future. The crew storms Roswell Air Base and steals the microwave dish. Fry and Leela rescue Zoidberg from an alien autopsy while the Professor grabs Bender's body. As the crew leaves Earth's atmosphere, Bender's head accidentally falls off the ship and they are forced to leave it behind in 1947. Back in the 31st century, Fry laments the loss of Bender, until he realizes that his head must still be where it landed in New Mexico. The crew returns to Roswell's ruins with a metal detector where they find Bender's head, perfectly unharmed from wear and saying he had been enjoying the centuries "until () showed up", and reattach it to his still-mangled, hovering, "UFO" body. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roswell That Ends Well」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
