Bender's soft side!

[Shunsuke]

Poor Fry. I felt really terrible for him. :( :( :( :( :( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

I still gave this episode a 6/10 since I got to see Fry without pants and it had a happy ending. :)

Well Leela didn't mind Fry sleeping with the mayor's wife, I guess she allowed him over she being forced to sleep with Zapp to save the Earth from V-GINY.


90/100.

Ghost in the Machines

This was a really funny episode but once again it seemed to have really bad/strange pacing. Firstly we begin with Hermes talking to the crew (Once again about something wrong with the company) then the story begins with parade day and Fry saving a human instead of a robot (This all happens in the first seven or so minutes of the episode) Then Bender commits suicide and is revealed to be a ghost while all of this happens in about a minute, they could have spend so much longer on these scenes as they were really important to the plot (And I felt Bender's reason for killing himself was rather stupid) We start act two and the story builds really nicely then we reach the third act where I feel they spend way to long on the Amish stuff and the ending just happened for no reason (Did he really need to 'visit' God?) And we end on a pretty forgettable note with Bender just returning to life and the episode just ending (I can't even remember if there was a joke or not)

But besides the weird pacing the episode was very funny and well characterized with everyone getting just the right amount of screen time. I'd even go as far as saying this is the funniest of the three episodes that have aired so far but not the best (It's just beaten by "Benderama" as it had a better premise and pace)

Score: 8.0/10.0

1) Benderama - 8.5/10.0
2) Ghost in the Machine - 8.0/10.0
3) Neutopia - 6.5/10.0

8/10.

'it also keeps cats away, by killing them'.

Literally my only complaint about this episode is the fact that Bender was ready to kill his best friend. I didn't like it. I mean, he could have atleast questioned it abit more or something.

Other than that, it was pretty funny and I bought into the whole concept really quickly.

After weeks of trying desperately to watch this, I've finally did it.

Amazing episode, up there with the best this season has seen imo. From the first minute of it I was laughing. Not one joke fell flat to me and it was nice to see another event from the future that had to be explained to Fry. I find that if anything is missing from the newest season, it's crazy things from 1000 years from now that Fry finds out about.

The Robot God joke where he kicks Bender out of Heaven I saw coming but I've also seen jokes coming way back from the first run of the show. Who really cares? At least it was funny, even if used before in other shows.

9/10 for me.

[Acid Eco]

it was kinda weird, at first it felt like that simpsons episode when bart got a driver's license from the mayor (in this case fry got a key to the city)

but it turned out alright, I loved the Exorcist, Terminator and Addams family references :D

7/10

[andyrossonero]

6.5 to me... Perhaps a 7 if I consider more the scene of the "bite my shiny metal ass" raise in the stastics chart.
