THAT'S your complaint? It's not super-original and new-fangled from a writing point of view? Because it's "classic" instead?

...

No. That's not even within the same ballpark as my complaint, which is laid out before I used that word - which you have seriously misinterpreted. I was using adjectival definition 1b. Other on point definitions are adjectival definition 2b, and noun definition 4. You appear to be using noun definition 6.

Again: They introduced a 'character' and insisted he was a vital part of Fry's pre-cryo life, despite the fact that he didn't exist before that episode, so that they could try to twist the knife with the ending.

That is not 'a natural progression', that is crappy writing.

To quote the Agony Booth, as quoted on the TV Tropes page I linked:

And really, what did you expect them to do? Kill off Skippy? Or take time out from earlier episodes to throw in some random friend named Greg, just to give his death some meaning? Come on, it was the ‘80s. That time was much better spent on original songs by Tina Yothers.

And the same criticism holds for Seymour as holds for Greg - they didn't take the time to properly set up the situation so that it actually made sense.
