Sent on the same mission which caused the deaths of the previous Planet Express crew, Leela mourns the apparent death of Fry. Written by Jeff Lindstrom
I concur with the previous contributor - this is a beautifully made episode. It has all the fun and brilliant animated artwork one might expect from this series, and the ultimate absence of cynicism gives what I can only describe as an uplifting emotional jolt. Fry sacrifices his life to save Leela from being stung by a giant bee - or so it seems
- and for most of the episode, we are taken through a series of dreams
and hallucinations experienced by Leela. I was absolutely carried away by the story, and don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it- but now it's one I can put on at any time, and still enjoy it. It
isn't schmaltzy - the creators of Futurama are too intelligent and too human to do that to their public...but it shows real heart, and it's definitely something to watch if you're feeling down.
