I feel as though some of the episodes are bizarrely topical, like references to the app store, The Da Vinci Code... all things which would have been topical even a few years ago, when the show was cancelled. My theory is they are lingering, filler ideas they had to get out of the way in order to air brilliant pieces of work like A Clockwork Origin and The Late Philip J. Fry.
