Talk:Leela (Futurama)

message: It was revealed in Bender's Game (on her parents mail box) that Turanga is her family name, not her first name. I've been reading the article but I'm not sure how I'd go about adding that to the article in a professional manner.  ---SilentRAGE! 04:54, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Just in case the present wording is unclear to anyone, Turanga is her family (first) name, Leela is her given (last) name, as mentioned in the original episodes.129.137.154.193 (talk) 23:33, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That doesn't make sense. Every other character uses the Western style of family name being synonymous with surname and given name being synonymous with first name. Therequiembellishere (talk) 18:58, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well, mutant society -is- very different. Just saying. Lots42 (talk) 04:02, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  The show never refers to Leela as "Leela Turanga," whereas the name "Turanga Leela" is used multiple times. I am changing the article to reflect the correct name order according to the series. noktulo (talk) 16:16, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

message: Unless I am severely missing something (or my search button is broken) the article does not mention Leela's arm talons. Lots42 (talk) 12:21, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Given that they were mentioned once and Futurama runs to many throwaway gags, I wouldn't worry about them.  Wyvern (talk) 16:29, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  I disagree, I feel they are very relevant. Lots42 (talk) 23:02, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: She has talons ??? --Dylan (talk) 16:01, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Elbow talons were mentioned in one of the later Santa Claus episodes; supposedly she normally keeps them filed down.  However, it was a quick joke and never came up again.  Mentioning her recurring boil (which wasn't seen until the sixth season and actually was a plot point) might make sense, the talons...not so much.  Wyvern (talk) 15:56, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Is that mention of a marriage with Fry meant to be the one with Lars/Fry in Into the Wild Green Yonder? If I recall correctly, that was canceled before they were declared married, so Fry is not her "ex-husband" at all (let alone Lars was not even the regular Fry, but a temporal clone). 93.33.0.32 (talk) 12:25, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, Fry and Leela did get married in an earlier episode, the one with time-skips and the Harlem Globetrotters. Unfortunately a time-skip erased her memories of the marriage, reverting her to her 'pre-feelings'. Lots42 (talk) 12:54, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Marriage 

message: I think it's noteable that in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Duh-Vinci_Code Leela agreed to go off in a dark corner for 'The Mile Under Club' (i.e. sex) with Fry but Farnsworth put a stop to all that. (Awww). Lots42 (talk) 12:59, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Noteable 

message: Lila (same pronunciation) means purple in German, and I always thought that was the origin of her name. Since the current section on the significance needs citation, I was wondering if anybody knows of a source that can corroborate one way or another.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.218.143.104 (talk) 17:05, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Significance of the name

message: Hey I always figured Leela was named after the companion of the Doctor who pretty much acted the same way? She came from a "savage" tribe and was a big fighter. She also carried a gun much like Futurama's Leela does in her infobox here. Is this not the case? felinoel (talk) 06:04, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Leela is not savage, nor does she come from a savage tribe, and she is almost never seen with a gun in any of the episodes or movies. The article already indicates the derivation of her name in the Character creation section. Nightscream (talk) 19:15, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Well the Doctor Who Leela wasn't that savage, I only mentioned it because the Doctor was always calling her that and I figured it would make her more recognizable? felinoel (talk) 22:44, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I appreciate you're trying to improve the article, so kudos. But any comparison of that sort needs to be supported by a secondary source. If we add it because it's our personal interpretation, it would violate WP:NOR. Nightscream (talk) 23:10, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Doctor Who reference?

message: Leela's sexual relationship with Fry is very much duplicated in this article. Lots42 (talk) 02:38, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
