Not a bad episode in general. I enjoyed the brief visit from Lrrr and Ndnd, just because I love their names. I love the way Lrrr’s pupils change after he eats the hippie. A perfectly adequate middle of the road episode.

This episode marks the first appearance of Mom, a kick-ass character that recurs throughout the series. She tells it like it is, in some very colorful language. I can’t decide if I like her or Zap Brannigan more.

It’s the professor’s turn to shine in this one. I know they need to give you some insight into the peripheral characters, but I like the ones later about Zoidberg and Hermes better.

Bender as a holy roller, will wonders never cease?! The Beastie Boys guest appearance was inspired; they were used well. There’s some enjoyable animation in the chase scene in robot hell as well.

Bender shows us he actually has a heart in that chest cavity as he falls in love, or maybe not. Watch and see. Leela and Fry begin their looong on and off flirtation with romance in this episode as well.

It’s a little trite, I know! I really think the powers that be who worked on the show were trying to fit into their 7:30 p.m. time slot, though that’s never when they intended Futurama to be shown.

Nice closer for the first season, even though it aired as a second season show. It illustrates the tone of the whole series as the creators explained the original concept.

This episode and the introduction of Zapp and Kif was highly successful in my opinion. I look forward to seeing them and the next adventure in the world of tomorrow.
