This episode was pretty darn good.
The two plots tied up together nicely and Fry and Leela got a big episode.. in a zoo for humans!

A 4/5 overall.

About as well-done as the new run gets. Definitely some inspired jokes, and not much that fell flat or didn't really work. Made up entirely for the season opener being weak.

The better of the two episodes tonight, though still not quite fantastic. I'm glad the Fry/Leela relationship is finally getting more focus as an actual relationship, especially as we wind the series down. But I also felt their story was pretty dull compared to the Bender/Amy/Zoidberg one, and neither plot really built up to anything. Still, I can't dislike an episode that made me laugh as much as the gazelles running into the glass.

This episode was hilarious and had a great story! �Loved the bit with Scruffy and the Dr. Banjo scene. �I'm excited for this last season if the quality stays on this level.

Very good. This one had plenty of laughs and I loved how much it focused on Fry & Leela.
The Side story was also very amusing!
My only criticism, it needed more nudity!

"We're alone and naked. Wanna play Marco Polo?"

Good episode. I liked "2-D Blacktop" a tad more, but this one had a great story and pacing. Though I found some of the scenes between Fry and Leela really uncomfortable to watch for some reason.

Another mostly good episode. The plot was great, seeing Gunther was nice and didn't feel too forced. My biggest problem was with the Leela/Shaun bit at the resort. I find myself caring less and less whether or not Fry and Leela are together because Leela continues to prove that she's a flakey girlfriend. Fry may be dumb, but he deserves someone that's not gonna jerk him around. Leela's kind of a bitch these days.
Other than that general gripe about newer Futurama, the plot was really solid and enjoyable.

4/5 for me.

The marmoset costume was cool. And the whole ape planet and zoo were good ideas too.

I'm just not a fan of the romantic Fry and Leela stuff though. All this romantic soap-opera stuff is just not for me. But that's just my personal taste.

I preferred '2D', but this episode was still decent enough and had it's merits.

Best part of this ep? Bender the mugger having the tables turned on him, and crying out to the police (with his mask still on!) LOL

A very entertaining episode. The "Planet of the Apes", the glorious return of everyone's favorite pain-in-the-ass monkey Gunther, and many of the gags were entertaining.

The relationship stuff was alright. I'm glad there was a better explanation of Shawn, whom we've never heard of until now, suddenly showing up out of nowhere. I disliked that plot point up until it was revealed that the apes set it up.

I'm also not the biggest fan of Futurama turning into a romantic comedy, but this one is not nearly an insufferable as some of the earlier ones.

This episode was truly great!
My only complaint is we need to see more of Leela naked, show her butt more and side boobs more.
Thank you.

A 5/5.

I think both were funny, though Fry and Leela's Big Fling was noticebaly funnier. In 2-D Blacktop, I loved that lady who kept saying it's not what was said, it was what was left unsaid. It was nice to see Fry/Leela fluff again.

This episode was clearly written for the Fry-Leela fans, and I feel that this episode was the stronger of last night's two episodes. I can see that the touching, sweet parts of the couple have passed, but now we get to see the results of their relationship's long development. For those not really interested in the two, this episode didn't have much else. However, the plot twist half-way through made the episode much more entertaining to all viewers. Also, any furries out there got to see Amy in the closest thing to a 'fursuit'. All things considered, this last season might not be as bad as some people have predicted.

8/10 for Fry-Leela fans
7/10 for furries
6/10 for everyone else

An incredible episode! Tons of jokes and self-references, and character development, plus a hilarious final joke.

This is going to be the best season yet.

I loved Fry and Leela in a zoo making sexy time!

Way to use that old plot idea you had from five years ago DXC!

Originally "Rebirth" was set in a human zoo according to DXC.

Strong episode with a good plot, loved how the fireflies were flashing cameras. Better than 2-D Blacktop in my opinion. Fry had some great lines, "But you know who I really hate, that monkey we haven't seen in years...Gunter" Overall solid episode and I'm looking forward to next week!

So we got to meet Shawn, who Leela referenced back in 'The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings.' I agree, a shame there wasn't more nudity, but a solid episode nonetheless.

Much better than the season premiere!

The first act was funny, was interesting, and just had a great overall feel to it that I can't quite pinpoint. The second act with Shawn was weak, but the third act made up for it.

I'm not sure exactly why I liked it, but it really gives me some hope that the show can go out on a high note.

Fry on a spy camera;
"Do you know who I hate most? That monkey we haven't seen in years; Gunter"

Gunter's jaw then hits the floor.

One of the best moments in the entire shows history, it really worked wll since Gunter hasn't been around since season one!

One of the best episodes of the CC run and proof that the show should keep going. Fry's random insult of Gunther (who showed up in the episode unbeknownst to Fry) had me in stitches, but Bender's line at the end topped it. My wife and I laughed out loud.

Fry and Leela episodes generally bore me and seem forced. This one was no exception. Not bad, but no where near as interesting and fun as the opener.

This is an episode which gives hope.
Even if the storyline is from time to time a little bit far-fetched, this episode contains at least some of the casual jokes Futurama used to have in the beginning.
