Loose ends, plot holes and unanswered questions are issues in the overall plotline of Futurama which are not described. However, some of these may be intended. Since the show was cancelled, a lot of questions remained somewhat unanswered, but some were later answered with the direct-to-video films and others are hopefully to be answered in the second run.
