In Response To: Re: XBLA Assets (and a Retrospective): Leela (Can-ned Food)

: Ah, yes. I remembered that quote about Leela taking things “at face
: value” when I was watching the first episode of Futurama: that Leela,
: who is an otherwise–attractive one-eyed sewer mutant, bemoaned her lack
: of depth perception.
: Unfortunately, I was never able to see any further connection between her and
: the Marathon's Leela. Whatever the reason for the choice of name, it must
: lie farther back in the myths. Sanskrit, perhaps.
: I never did investigate that one, either.

Greg was referring to the Leela in Dr. Who not the one in Futurama, which wasn't around when Marathon came out.
