I'd say it's a solid third for the whole season. It wasn't quite as good as Late Philip J Fry or Prisoner of Benda, but it was really damned good.

One of the things that was really good is everyone got something to do at some point. It had the whole cast and none of them felt wasted at any point. Also, it's good to finally get a great Leela centric episode.

Was it a joke or goof that bender hit the wall twice when everyone slammed against the wall?

Joke. The timing was too perfect and the first Bender was deliberately obscured as it progressed.

Seriously...there was a slight pause before the second Bender hit. There's no way that wasn't the joke. I can't believe there's even a question of it.

That was a good episode. They're really putting some mileage on Zoidberg's head fin thing this season though, huh?

That episode was just amazing, and they packed so much into it, at the two-thirds mark I was genuinely shocked that it wasn't over yet (and I mean that in a good way).

Yeah, that was really good. Definitely best of the half season.

Bender staging a mutiny, Lila being her own mutiny, 'giant land space whale', the 4th dimension, I was in stitches the entire time.

Bender starting a mutiny, endorsing a mutiny, blaming Fry for the mutiny, then endorsing Fry being executed for starting a mutiny all within the space of two sentences was truly a wonderful thing.

Old Town Road to EGOT

That was a pretty enjoyable episode :)

Most of the episodes this season haven't had many jokes that I feel will be timeless like the multitude of jokes from the old seasons that are still as funny/memorable today as they were over a decade ago. This one still fell victim to that for the most part, I felt, but the vortex part may be one of those jokes that stands the test of time.

This episode felt like one of the old Futurama episodes, not saying this new season has been bad, but this one had that something the old episodes had. For one the animation seemed more elaborate than it usually has been this season and the there was a good joke pace overall in the episode.

Pretty good ep. Not outstanding, but good. They kind of forced Leela's motivations a bit and some of her jokes fell a bit flat because of that, but the rest of it was fine.

"Ms. Wong, you have the 'poon." I only wish the show were still on Fox and they'd genuinely slipped that past the censors.

Slipping things past censors is the one thing Family Guy did better than this show. I mean, can you beat Peter offering a Cleveland Steamer?
