#331 by Tissot Matt Groening can't retire, just as Terminator cannot self destruct or the Hulk can't calm down. I bet we'll very soon be introduced to a new unforgetful cartoon world, that will bam it up another notch! Tissot gave 5 points 14.08.2003

#332 by Zoidburg89 I am not going to review this episode, as I already have before (#330!). I just want to tell all family Guy fans that the unaired series finale episode "When you wish upon a Weinstein" will air on Cartoon Network on November 22, at 11pm! Futurama and Family Guy may have been ende by Fox, but Cartoon network and TBS keep them alive. They are the two funniest shows in the history of television! Zoidburg89 gave 5 points 14.08.2003

#334 by Dimension What a nice way to end the series. This might sound stupid but did Leela show that she now loves Fry by asking him to play on, even though she knew that he could no longer play. Have to admit though, the Why of Fry would've made a better series finale. It had action, Fry/Leela, and most importantly it linked the 'final' episode directly with the first one. But anyway, I'm going to assuming Fry and Leela live happily ever after . . . Dimension gave 5 points 14.08.2003

#336 by Senor Smackdown Just a shout-out to Zoidburg89-- stop being an ass-head. Your insulting of marilen was ridiculous, not to mention rude. Pipe down-- you're giving Americans the bad name that we probably deserve at this point. I wish I knew Spanish to respond to marilen, but, in any case, recepción!

#337 by Apple IIgs As episodes fair, Devil's Hands was mostly average. As a series finale though I found it rather mediocre and disappointing. I think the ending suffers simply because there was uncertainty whether this would be a season or series finale. The writers played it safe scripted it so it could be used as either--however, when used as a series finale, we're not left with the closure one might expect. The end was touching, but not anywhere as powerful or emotional as the ending for "The Sting", or even "Parasites Lost" (the episode this follows up on). Leela's love felt almost artificial and forced here, there wasn't any build up witin the episode. The whole thing with the opera, well it felt borrowed (poorly) from the series finale of REBOOT. Bottom line: This ended too aburtly, I wanted to actually *SEE* Fry and Leela get together, not *HINT* that they might. The episode "The Sting" felt more like the true series finale! Ah well, like Red Dwarf (another favorite sci-fi comedy of mine) it was fun...! Apple IIgs gave 3 points 14.08.2003

#338 by Tim A great episode and closer to a top knotch show. Kudos to the Futurama crew for doing such a wonderful job. Futurama has been an excellent bit of television; I'll be sad I won't get to enjoy it anymore. Good travels to those who participated in its creation! Tim gave 5 points 14.08.2003
