Good episode - I always like it when the full regular cast get plenty to do. It seemed somehow really long, though (not that that's a bad thing at all). I was really surprised when they "killed" the crew after what felt like the length of a full episode, expecting some instant joke reset... and the story kept going.

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.

Her lines in the first third of the show were pretty good, but they did seem to fall flat near the end. No big deal, but I noticed that too.

If we can hit that bullseye the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards Checkmate
My biggest complaint was that it felt like the Leela as whale being was way too similar to Fry being Yeevo's human speech thing in Beast with a Billion Backs. It just seemed unoriginal for that.

Fantastic episode though.

The one thing I'll cite from Bender's Game is that this was her motivation there too. She was a kill-crazy adventure in that movie, and it was the same in this episode I felt.

So another episode with Bender's death in it? :)

"Huh, I knew you had other crews, but...you never told us you had a first crew" is just like this amazing, classic Fry line. Subtle, incredibly stupid and delivered as if it's not a joke.

Maybe I'm just blanking entirely, but when is the last time Farnsworth said "good news everyone!"

I honestly can't even remember the last time, but I could just be overwhelmed with all the other awesome quotes.

It was "Use boatie-talk". You can tell, because he switched from speaking in a regular manner to a maritime one, thusly completing the (weak) joke.

This was my favorite episode of this season! So many great quotes!

The only thing I didn't like was the line used in the thread title, though... like Martytoof pointed out, it was obviously rehashed from the 'land sea lions' joke, which is one of my favorite Fry lines.

I don't know how you pronounce body, but it was "Use boaty talk."

Great episode, up there with the Police one. Ending was a little weak plot-wise, but it was funny to hear them mocking it repeatedly.

My first guess was Dave Bowman or Frank Poole (from 2001), but if that's the intent it's not nearly as accurate a caricature as the Doctor.

While I'll never turn down a good space odyssey reference, I'm thinking it's one of the list cosmonauts mentioned earlier. Besides, I think I can live with only 2 of them in this episode.
