Wow! That episode was a masterpiece ... I hardly know where to start reviewing except to say that I wish to extend my thanks to the entire Futurama cast & crew for hitting the very last episode out of the park, over the bleachers, and around the earth, past the Moon, approaching Mars ...

Excellent episode. I really liked the opera scenes, though I should have liked the music to continue on through the end credits instead of the theme music.

Now this makes me wish more that Cartoon Network makes a real Season 5 telling what happens next.

Wonderful episode. Joins the top 3 with Godfellas and Luck of the Fryish. Nothing I can really fault, the jokes made me laugh and the ending made me cry; that's the most I can ask from anything. It's the final time I'll be trawling the internet looking for downloads so I can see the show. At least Fox has shown the episodes, we're still not finished with Season 4 here. (Would people stop complaining about minor continuity issues, like the horn and Bender's arse? Where did Robot 1X go, where are Cubert and Dwight in most episodes...it's artistic license people)

I absolutely loved it. I loved the end but I really wanted Fry and Leela to kiss. It made me a little mad because of this.

It has a great beginning middle and end. please write a letter to Matt and tell him to go to gotfuturama.com and go to the fan fiction section of the site and go to crashcourse in love. it would please me if you did this. "peace we out"

"See you on another Channel!" One can only hope that a channel smarter than Fox will pick it up on a future date! This episode was brilliant and I love the "Robot-Devil", Leela and Fry...I'm going to miss you! You'll be in our hearts forever! AS FOR THE FOX NETWORK, shame on you for Bringing back dreck like "American Idol" and a 2nd "Joe Millionair", but canning Futurama, I hope the Fox network ends up with the same fate! I WILL NEVER WATCH FOX AGAIN! LONG LIVE FUTURAMA!

Futurama goes out with an ... opera? I have to say I was unpleasantly disappointed. For several reasons. Near the beginning, Bender tells Fry that he wishes Fry's parents were still alive (so he doesn't have to parent him) - immediately then, seemingly overcome with a very uncharacteristic guilt, bender adds "not often", and then - get this - they hug. Since when? This is not the Bender that would throw beer bottles at Fry, or further his own gains at the expense of his friends. In other words, it is not the Bender I've grown to know and laugh at - obnoxious and unrepentant. Later on, Bender and Fry slide non-chalantly into robots' hell? With no problems? And what's more, Robot Devil knows Fry by name, and welcomes them? Again - not in line. But this is nothing compared to the way the Futurama team (how many producer and producer-derivative credits flashed at the beginning of the episode?) chose to treat its fans - with an opera. Yes sir. After 5 years of strong emotional punches used to depict Fry's unrequited love to Leela, we now get this lousy "opera" that sounds cheaper than a second grade Broadway musical. Soppy pretentious, unfunny. None of the wit and subtlety I'd come to expect from Futurama, was to be found in this episode. Instead, this episode is self-conscious (watch for the split second where Zap Brannigan is inserted - as if to make a point of packing all the show's characters in this episode ), lackluster, and lukewarm I love Futurama. But I'm not afraid to say this is by far the worst episode in the series. The one exception, that was reminiscent and worthy of Futurama's habitual caliber, was the in the opening credits sequence, where the screen into which Planet Express Ship crashes, instead of showing a classic cartoon snip, is showing the same panorama we're watching, which also happens to be a classic cartoon. This was a nice touch. The rest , was disappointing. PS. BTW, I don't think we can say Futurama RIP just yet. On Fox maybe. But it is likely that the series may be picked up and continued on another channel (probably a cable channel) - notice how the tag line at the opening said "see you on another channel".
