I love this episode, it gave us a perfect introduction to the Zapp/Kif duo in a hilarious way. I'm not sure if this is still my favourate Zapp/Kif episode, Amazon Women in the Mood ranks pretty much along side this episode in true greatness.

I'm sorry, but this wasn't really a good episode.
I mean it was great, but compared to other futurama episodes it was.....bad!
Too much story and not enough funny parts.
Good part:

"The female Leela's problem is purely medical. Soon she will lay her eggs and they will hatch and all will be well"

*even though, I didn't enjoy this episode as much as the others.

A great introduction of Zapp & Nibbler, including the historic scene between Leela & Zapp... (no, they were just "talking"). The jokes were realy great!

Why, oh why, did Phil Hartman have to go and get himself shot? That man was made to be the voice of Zapp Branigan! But it's a testament to Billy West's vocal ability that he manages to truly make Zapp his own man. Some nice dramatic camera angles during the crumbling of the planet, and a fun wry take on environmentalism, extinction, and the balance of nature :)

One of the best episodes, and one that introduces the great Zapp and Kif! ^_^
I also liked the bit about the Animals.
Any episode with Zapp and Kif is great in my opinion though.

My favourite season one episode. Great Zapp and Kif moments included..

- Kif having to follow Zapp up the ladder
- 'In a game of chess, you must never let your opponent see your pieces'
- 'You, Kif. YOU lay out my shorts'
- The whole Brannigan's law thing.
- 'Kif! I'm asking you a question!'

An absloute classic where we see the smooooth zapp branigann introduced. Some absolutely classic lines -"you know Zapp, when I first met you I thought you were a pompus baffoon, the I looked inside and saw you were just a little child. Then i looked again and saw you were a pompus baffoon!" says Leela. "And which one rocked your world?" replies Zapp. And the "sweet, sweet candyyyyyyyyy" bit too

'I can't believe that we crossed half the galaxy, and enjoyed a steam, just to feed that thing!'

Best thing about this ep.
Zapp: as a character he isn't slow to start. But he also doesn't tail away as the series goes on, being the anim equivelant of a semi-regular.
The same can be said for Kif.

Zapp:'Yuo know Kif, when my woman returns i'm not going to be able to spend much time with the boys. So lets spend what time we have left together.'
*Long pause*
Zapp:'OK, just rub my back would you?'
Kif:'Gohhh...'

Fry:'Yeah! Way to tell that guy off! Incidentally, whats your secret plan B?'
Leela:'uuh... To sit here and wait for death...'
Bender:'Can do!'

Zapp, Kif, and Nibbler were wonderfully introduced in this episode. All the parts with Kif (and his sigh) were great. There were tons of funny moments. The plot was good. The animation didn't seem particularly great, but that's not a major problem.

Terrific, and the beginning of many storylines. 5/5

Good episode.
Think the opening line was the best.

Fry: What was the problem with your date last night?
Leela: I can't seem to put my finger on it. Possibly it's his vile lizard tongue.

Nothing exceptional story wise nor is the direction fantastic. Plusses for the animals' scene though.

Not the funniest of episodes, but pretty good. Kif and Zapp are hilarious. they work because of each other: Kif is the Smithers to Zapp's Mr. Burns. The velour jokes got kind of old and they used the champagne joke one time too many. Bender capturing the snake was great. Leela in her underwear at the end seemed a bit unnecessary, but what are you going to do?

BAM!" and point to his hip region, alone. great stuff.

Now this episode is definitely one of the best Futurama, packed with hilarious comedy, the introduction of the Zapper, Branigan's Law...which law? Branigan's law! And Kif is great here too. Zapp is one of the best characters. And Bender and Fry having a steam while in prison...
"Maybe you could break the hatch off that steam pipe...No good! It's filled with steam!"

"have the boy lay out my formal shorts"
"The boy sir?"
"YOU Kif, you lay out my formal shorts." (i'm cracking up with uncontrollable laughter)
So many classic Zapp lines. "In a game of chess you can never let your opponent see your pieces, you've got to think before you attack"
"They're boarded the ship sir"
*Zapp hides behind chair*

Oh lordy loo i love this episode. Farnsworths "This is vergon 6" scene is great.

I am afraid I have to go against the grain a bit in my review of this episode. Mainly it is because I am not a big fan of Zap Brannigan. He has some good lines, but generally I feel the show is better off without him.

Futurama has always been seen as a 2nd rate simpsons, but everyone knows that Futurama is ten times better and it's episodes like this that prove it. I myself own all of the Futurama episodes and this episode manages to deliver witty, mad and stupid jokes and even without the help of Zoidberg. No Futurama fan is complete without seeing this episode.

This episode has Zapp Brannigan as a main character. That should be all that needs to be said. Zapp is right up there with Fry, Bender, the Professor, Dr. Zoidberg...hell, now that I think about it, all of Futurama's characters are great. This episode gets three stars for Zapp's diary entries alone, and I'm giving it five stars because the rest of the episode was great, as well.

Zapp: "Captain's Log, Stardate...uuuuuuuuhhhhh..."

Kif: "Ugh...April 13th!"

One of the most memorable scenes in Futurama IMHO with Zapp and Leela. The scene afterwards in the ship is priceless. The gags were great, and Kif, actually being one of my favourite characters is fun to watch as he constantly gets frustrated with Zapp especially on the ladder. I also enjoyed the bit where Fry looks to be confused over which mammal is Leela. And only Bender would react in the way he did, to 2 of each kind of animal being taken.

Falls short of my top 3 though, I think Zapp is just a little too in one's face here but a fabulous debut for him on the show.

Are you kidding me ? This is THE Best Episode of all time. There are so many moments in this episode like:

2. The whole Farnsworth - this will kill all the animals .. and then saying "What animals"

3. The whole thing with "I'm not as big of fan of velooooour as you are sir"

4. The thing with "Kif, I've slept with a woman - tell the men"

5. Killbots !

6. Zapp going up the ladder and kiff following him

7. The planet falling apart

8. Bender wanting to fry up Niblet

9. Niblet eating all the creatures

Leela: "Pleeeeease, big Z?"

Zapp's introduction is pretty funny, and this episode sets up a lot of plot points that will later become running gags or otherwise important to the series, so all in all it's a good effort. My favorite part is probably Fry and Bender discussing Leela's romantic prospects, and offering Leela a fork as an eye poker; watching the trio interact amongst themselves always puts a smile on my face.

This couldn't have been a more perfect episode. Zapp Branigan is a hilarious character, and his beginning is even better. It also introduced Kif, my favorite character, and Nibbler, who was incredibly important in later seasons. This episode worked incredibly well, and it's one of the many Leela-Zapp episodes I've liked. In fact, the only one I didn't like was Brannigan Begin Again.
