I loved "The Sting" because it was one of those rare shows that makes me cry! Leela's dreams were beautiful and Fry actually got over his macho side for once. I laughed when Bender goes "Ther's no law against grave robbin'". I loved every minute of it! I loved it so much that when Adult Swim repeated it, I recorded it on tape! Keep up the good work Matt!

P.S. Good Luck with future shows!

Great, great episode.

First, the jokes were great. Loved the cameos at the funeral, and the guillotine scene was hilarious.

Second, as some previous posters said, it was good to see the Leela/Fry relationship from her perspective for a change. When she is in a deep coma, all that she can think about - and the only thing that makes her happy - is Fry. Right when she was about to die/stay in the coma forever (when she was about to take the 3rd sip of bee honey) it was Fry who got her fighting to wake back up.

Finally, for those people who complain about some of the later episodes being "too depressing" or the like -- remember that Futurama was trying to wrap up a large story arc in what I'm sure was a shortened lifespan. They couldn't ignore the Fry/Leela dynamic until the last ep, and have them walk off together.

This is my all time favourite Futurama episode (along with the Devil's hands are idle playthings). To me it really showed Fry's love for Leela, even though she obviously doesn't deserve it. After Fry had gotten the stinger right through him Leela was more interested in her own wound then attempting thank or help the person who tried to save her life (!)

But enough of my Leela bashing, the episode was well though through, the mix of humour and sadness was a glorious mix of intelligent writing, and the tribute to Space Odyssey was well noted.

This episode also showed the true development of the relationship between Fry and Bender, especially in the line

"When i said kill all humans, i always whispered except one, and Fry was that one"

There have been only two Episodes that have made be shed a tear, this one and the luck of the Fryirish.

In a word 'Excellent'

That was definatly one of the best episodes of Futurama I have ever seen. Not alot of comedy but it was very different. I love episodes like this. For once it was about Leela's feelings for Fry. No other show can make an episode like this one.

Quite a clever episode, with some amazing special effects. This isn't really a funny episode but I don't think a lot of humour wouldn't have worked in this type of script. Great with a very surprising ending and some well-written twists.
