08x27 - Meet the Seer

[bunniefuu]

[WHIMPERS]

Bad show.

He's so weak.

What did Anti-Pops

do to him?

It was the same thing

he did to Earl.

Like, he almost erased him

from existence or something.

Let's just do what Earl said

and get Pops to the Seer.

FEMALE COMPUTER VOICE:

Now approaching Planet Nielsen.

RIGBY: That's a planet?

It looks like

some weird appliance.

I got a bad feeling

about this.

Welcome to Planet Streaming.

Would you like to upgrade

for an ad-free experience?

Only . a month.

Planet Streaming?

I thought this was

Planet Nielsen.

Planet Nielsen is obsolete.

Everything is streaming now.

We're currently showing

. billion forms

of online content.

Would you like to start

your free trial?

We just need

your credit-card num-ber.

It's them.

Take them to holding.

Ahh. Does everything

have to try to k*ll us?

Reel to Reel?

Disc Masters.

It truly is a small universe

to see you here.

This is Black and White,

sworn brother

of the Format Wars.

We need to get you

out of here.

But we need to get Pops

to the Seer.

The Seer? Ha ha.

No one sees

the all-knowing Seer.

But the Seer

always sees you.

So, can you take us

to her, or...

Yeah, we can take you,

but first,

he needs medical attention.

Follow us. Hurry before

Streaming sends reinforcements.

Brace yourselves.

Be kind. Rewind.

Reel to Reel,

what's the--Ding.

Frozen burritos.

Get that guy in here STAT.

Come on now.

Come on. Chew it.

Yes, chew it up. Come on.

There you go.

He's stable.

After ccs of Salisbury steak

and a little rest,

he'll be good as new.

You're a doctor?

I was a doctor

in the resistance,

before the Format Wars,

before Streaming took over.

Took over?

I've got it all right here.

NARRATOR: Planet Nielsen--

a place where all universes

can be seen under one roof.

Here we have

highly trained analysts

watching and tracking views

of the various universes

throughout the galaxy.

Hangin' With the Plartians--

million viewers

ages to .

Business was booming

for Planet Nielsen.

Advertisers

would pay top dollar

to know how many people

were watching each universe,

until Streaming came along

and took over.

Streaming didn't care

what people were watching

because it already knew,

thus rendering

the Nielsen system obsolete.

Hopeless and jobless,

Streaming banished the workers

to the bowels of the city

forever,

where they tried to preserve

the ways of the old formats,

because what happens

if you want to watch

your favourite universe

when the Internet is down,

or if you want to see

the glorious quality of a DVD

instead of

the poorly compressed video

of Streaming?

The world may never know.

Now that

you know the history,

you understand

why the old formats

must put an end

to this torrenting tyrant.

Why couldn't

Streaming be stopped

by this all-knowing Seer?

She just relays information

about what she sees.

Whether or not

she has actual powers

is kind of a gray area.

Everything's a gray area to you,

Black and White.

Ouch. Reel to Reel

getting a little too real.

Indeed. sh*ts fired.

[expl*si*n]

They know

the Chosen One is here.

We've got to

get to the Seer now.

What about Pops?

I'm all right.

Uhh. Take me to the Seer.

Run. Go.

I'll hold them off.

I hope they're hungry.

Always follow

proper heating instructions.

[BEEPING]

For the formats.

[YELLING]

[GROANS]

Come on. This way.

[KEYBOARD KEY CLACKING]

Thirty-four share.

Eight million households.

to .

Thirteen share. One million.

Twelve share.

Two million households.

to .

[GASPS]

They got free coffee.

Work perks.

Work perks.

Stop.

Nielsen employees only.

What are you doing down here?

It's okay, HD.

They're with us.

[BOTH GASP]

The Chosen One.

And it's the five Disc Masters

as well.

DVD? You're here, too?

No. DVD is dead.

What?

Yeah. I'm HD DVD now.

I got upgraded.

New voice chip and everything.

High-definition, baby.

Now I'm the most superior

physical format to date.

Take that, Dad.

Forgive my brother.

His picture quality

isn't as clear as mine,

so he forgets things.

I'm Blu-ray,

and I'm obviously

the most superior

physical format to date.

Whatever. I still have better

sound definition than you.

Tell that to my ten gigs

of extra storage.

I would, but I think

someone's surface coating

is a little too thick

to understand.

Well, at least

I'm not the one

with the ability

to roam any region

and still went

crying home to Daddy.

You leave Father out of this.

Whoa, whoa, kids.

Don't scratch a disc.

We need to get Pops

to the Seer.

Right. Sorry. Follow us.

Allow me.

My bit rate is faster.

Your face is a bit rate.

Seer, we have brought

the Chosen One.

Ah, yes. Pops.

I've been expecting you.

You... know who I am?

Of course I do.

I know each

and every one of you.

You don't know me.

Oh, Muscle Man,

always so brash.

You know who else

is always so brash?

Uh... who?

Come on. You know.

I don't know what

you're talking about, lady.

My... mom.

Whoa, bro.

That's right.

I've been watching you guys

since the very beginning.

I know everything

about you.

Everything?

Sure.

You all work at the park.

You and Rigby

are the slacker duo.

Benson's

the grouchy manager.

Skips is immortal.

Funny stuff.

Anyone could've known that.

Oh, yeah?

[♪♪♪]

Whoa.

Whoa.

You started off

really strong.

But when Mordecai

started dating Margaret,

things levelled off a little.

I was always

more of a C.J. fan myself.

Every Halloween

was a spike in interest,

but lately, that's been

a little weak as well.

Eh, Rigby going to

high school helped,

as did Muscle Man

getting married.

Everyone sure loves weddings.

And whole going-to-space thing?

Whoo. I was not expecting that.

I'm curious to see

where things go now.

But then again,

everything must end eventually.

End? What will end?

Your universe, of course.

Many universes

have come and gone.

It's the natural order

of things.

Yours lasted longer than most,

but now your universe,

your lives, the park--

everything--

it's all going to end.

[ALL GASP]

It can't end.

Ah, but that's what

this has all been

leading up to, Pops--

the final battle

with your evil twin.

[GASPS]

[expl*si*n]

We can't hold Streaming

much longer.

We got to get Pops

out of here.

[ALL GASP]

Not today,

you dumb data boxes.

You cash-hungry coffins.

Aah.

Aah.

[ALL PANTING]

How are you so calm?

The universe is ending.

It's not my universe

that's ending. It's yours.

It's a shame that I won't

be able to watch it anymore.

I've really grown

quite fond of you all.

Personally, I wish you had

a bigger role, dear.

HD DVD: Uhh, it's like

an oversaturation

of the marketplace.

Time to cancel

our subscription.

We're almost there.

[CACKLING]

Streaming?

Hello,

HD DVD and Blu-ray.

And you've brought all

your remaining formats to me.

Finally I can add you all

to my queue of destruction.

No.

Reel to Reel.

He was the original.

[GRUNTING]

Black and White, no.

You can't stop him.

Aah.

Fool. There's no escape.

Streaming is the future.

[CACKLES]

Ohh.

[POWERS DOWN]

You can make it,

Black and White.

There's still a market

for you.

In space-- [COUGHS]

no one can hear you... stream.

[POWERS DOWN]

Quick, while

he's still buffering.

Go.

Go.

[ALL PANTING]

Now you must go to

where it all began, Pops--

to your home planet--

Lolliland.

That's where the final battle

will take place.

Do I really

have to fight my brother?

You've fought him before,

and you will fight him again.

And your universe

will reset itself.

That's how it's always been

and how it will always be.

There must be another way.

Uh, sometimes

doing something different

makes all the difference,

but then again,

everybody loves reruns.

Oh, no.

Go now, Pops.

Make it

a jolly good show.

Eileen,

enter the coordinates.

You got it.

My favourite planet.
