"Calculon 2.0" is the one hundred and thirty-fourth episode of Futurama, the twentieth of the seventh production season and the seventh of the tenth broadcast season.

Plot

Bender and Fry travel all the way to Robot Hell to ask the Robot Devil to release Calculon. [1]

Production

In 2012, assistant director Aimee Steinberger made three revelations concerning the episode. On 9 March, she revealed that she had "just read [her] next and last [Futurama] script for a while", the script for the episode, that it was "really funny [and] cute" and that she was "looking [forward to working] on it after [the production team finished "7ACV14"]". [2]

On 30 March, she revealed that she was "starting thumbnailing and storyboarding on [the episode]". [3] On 16 May, she revealed that she had "screened [her] last [Futurama episode for] a while [on that day]" - this episode - and that it had "turned out really nice [and] funny". [4]

On 5 February, 2013, Vulture.com released a preview clip for the tenth broadcast season, [5] which contained a scene from the episode.

By 19 July, Comedy Central had released a two-minute preview clip featuring Bender and Fry successfully freeing Calculon from Robot Hell. [6]

    Robot Devil: It's between one and three.
    Fry: Four!
    Robot Devil: Between one and three, not including one or three.
    Fry: "M"!
    Bender: Is he right?
    Robot Devil: [sarcastic] Yes, the number I was thinking of was the letter "M".

    Farnsworth: Now, we just reintroduce Calculon's programming to his body using science!
    Amy: It's like magic, but with electricity.
    [Reference 5.]

    Farnsworth: Now, it's a simple matter of reverse-installing Calculon's operating system. Amy, play this installation disc backwards.
    [The Professor passes the disc to Amy, who places it on a small turntable-like device and begins to spin it backwards using her finger.]
    Installation disc: Rise from the dead in the name of Satan!
