#294 by tim the good thing about this episode is that they speant more time on fry's love for leela and also (surprisingly ) enough action to stop it getting boring. tim gave 5 points 03.11.2007

#295 by Taint These worms are the cutest worms I've ever seen! Shame on those who say otherwise :P Leela (not strikingly, even!) seems the shallow one compared to Fry. I don't really like her in this episode, but at least they made it a bit less harsh on her side. She sends Fry out of her room after he's mentioned Amy, and who can tolerate this kind of a mood killer, honestly? :D Besides, I love it that in Futurama series, there's always hope. Telling Bender "Leela is a lost cause" and playing holophonor afterwards... The romance is killing me, in a good sense, of course. Fry became a better man with the help of worms, but he can do so without them, too. (Those who've seen Bender's Big Score, know what I mean). He's craving for Leela's happiness, but he also wants to stay himself, wants Leela to love him as he is. A friend of mine said his love seems egoistic because of this, but I think it's a most natural wish and does add depth to Fry's personality. And what causes Leela's admiration, is so superficial. Fry defends her dignity (sure, with some style), but he does so in the beginning of the episode, too. His holophonor play in the end is childish and awkward, but his feelings are the real beauty. Forgive me, I'm such a shameless shipper of Fry and Leela xD I love any episode with the two of them, The Sting is my favourite though... Being a fan of Asimov, I also wish something like holophonor or visi-sonor really existed. I don't have much in common with Fry, except we both aren't good at expressing our true feelings... And yes, Zoidberg is adorable in this episode ^^ If you don't want the romance (which is not overwhelming at all, as someone might think), then the humour is definitely worth your attention :D Taint gave 5 points 20.12.2007

#296 by Zim Del Invasor Amazing episode. It has something for everyone in it. Want some humor? Then listen to anthing Zoidberg says. Whether he's riding a sperm or quoting a nasal decongestant commercial, you're guaranteed to laugh! Want some romance? Then enjoy seeing Fry and Leela dating for a bit, if only for a while. Could even a bit of action be packed into this episode? Oh, yes. Never again will you see the Planet Express crew on a voyage this remarkable through the bowels of Fry himself, armed with weapons, ready to shoot any worms that get in their way. Even Leela enjoys chopping up some stuff with an axe, but I won't give too much away. Fry himself cuts up parts of his brain, all because he loves Leela. I highly recommend this episode.

#297 by Sinister Not only top five, likely the best ever episode. It combined a great plot with some very funny moments. Sinister gave 5 points 11.04.2008

#300 by Mak wow. I agree, Taint! (Eccept the part about not being much like Fry, although Ima girl, I still have my Fry moments when I'm...well just being dumb and not thinking but thats about it... my hair is RED not ORANGE! sorr my friend was bugging me... I love this ep..... (not as good as "The Sting" though) I liked Fry+Leela together, too bad it all burst at the end. If only Leela knew that Fry cut up his brain just to know who she loved! ARRRGH!!!!! You know, this ep makes Leela seem, well like the Fry of the episode (if you know what I mean) Fry was, well REALY romantic comparred to her (ignoor typos) he can't realy help the fact that he's an idiot (even if he tryed hard) but you know he seems to get more and more romantic, I mean just look at ITWGY! He may be an idiot but his heart is in the right place and his odd brain is set on romantic so Leela should just accept the fact that he IS perfect for her and there is no one who fits her standerds more then Fry (just look at BBS what with Lars, and Leela saying near the end "He was the only man I could ever love" HE WAS FRY!!!!!) jeez, he isn't realy as bad as Leela seems to think he is. srriosly! She seems to think that its kinda sad that he's the best she can do when its not. He is perfect for her!!!!! Get it though your stubborn head, Leela! sigh. Realy good episode. wow.
