Straight from my tv.com review on this episode:

The episode starts out as the crew barely escapes from the space beehive while on a honey-collecting mission. Leela brings along a baby queen bee to build a hive and harvest more honey themselves, which tries to attack her. Fry defends her and ends up giving his whole life for her as the stinger pierces through his stomach. Now a grief-strucken Leela goes on the brink of insanity while recieving strange dreams that Fry is still alive...

This episode is my personal favorite, because not only does it have a very clever storyline with a twist ending, but it also showed a more heartfelt sentimental Leela. She didn't seem to care when Fry departed the PE crew in The Deep South and she explains why she doesn't want him in Time Keeps on Slippin', yet you see that she does want Fry by her side as a friend as the two save each others' necks in episodes such as A Bicyclops Built For Two and Xmas Story. Now you see her feeling miserable, because this time, she knows Fry is long gone. In her dreams, she does see how caring Fry is for her, and how happy she feels with him.

In addition to this touching episode, there are some brilliantly funny moments to be had here, like some great lines from Bender ("This is great! My buddy's alive is credit cards are valid again. Let's go get hammered!"), and the PE crew's goofy revocalizing of Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy" Song.

It's a sweet episode, by and large; I especially like it better than the other emotional episode, Jurassic Bark, and even the series finale, The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings.

WHO SAW SEYMORE, Fry's dog by his coffin in Orbiting Meadows. This means that he can actually be back if the series ever returns to TV or maybe even a movie. Fantastic episode otherwise.

It was great, basicly the 1st post about this episode by "Margarita" is just what i think, my favorate parts and everything! And by the way "Tulosba", just because it wasnt funny like most the others, it was an actually serious episode for once. i'm not sayin' i dont love the humor but give drama a chance man!

Whether you found this funny enough or not is irrelevent, the fact that a Futurama episode could have such grace and truly touching emotional undercurrents is just amazing. An episode understandably unnappreciated by some, but wonderful to the rest of us.

Not the most laugh-out-loud funny episode I've seen, but it still gets a well-deserved five for being vrey touching (and psycadelic too!).

The best lines being

"Did you just sing?"
"No, I was telling you not to worry. I'm not allowed to sing. Court order."

and when the credits start, I loved the whisper "You really need a shower" "you too" or something like that ^_^

Futurama is so disarmingly sweet sometimes...
