Leela meets another Cyclops
Tweekums21 April 2012
Warning: Spoilers
When the crew go on line Leela meets a fellow Cyclops named Alkazar while playing a video game; unfortunately Fry 'kills' him before they can exchange details... it looks as though she has lost the one chance she had to find out more about her species. That is until she receives an email from him while on their next delivery mission; she ditches the cargo and heads straight for Cyclopia. Once there Alkazar tells her that he was the only person to survive an attack on their planet leaving them the last two Cyclops in the universe. As such they are the last hope for the species so quickly end up in bed together! The next morning Alkazar isn't the polite attentive man he was before; in fact he is a slob who expects Leela to be at his beck and call. She knows he is no good for her but she also knows that for her species to survive she must stay with him. Fry realises just how bad Alkazar is but needs to find a way to prove to Leela just how bad he is before they get married.

This episode should please fans of Leela as she gets to take centre stage and even references her voice actress, Katey Sagal's, other well known series 'Married with Children'... although I confess I only realised it was a reference when told about it later as that series didn't air here! The early internet scenes should provide many laughs as they fight there way through pop-up ads (remember those?!) before finding sites advertising a wide variety of pornography. When they get to Cyclopia the laughs reduce slightly as this section is more plot driven; that isn't to say it isn't entertaining though and there is a great twist that the end that I won't risk spoiling.

The One With The Cyclops Fiancé...

Warning: Spoilers
I love this episode. It's so funny. I love the inside jokes about Al and Peggy Bundy, and I love Leela's reaction to Alcazar's lies.

In this episode, Leela finds a planet where Alcazar, the only other Cyclops in the universe, lives. They fall in love and get engaged. But on the day of the wedding, Leela discovers that Alcazar also intended to marry four other women the same day, and that he isn't a Cyclops. He morphs into the forms of races so he can marry their women. But why would he ever have all the weddings on the same day? That's just dumb.

Fun Fact: Leela, who is voiced by Katey Sagal, dresses up as Peggy from Married With Children, who Katey Sagal played. She also calls Alcazar Al, in reference to her on screen husband, Al Bundy.

Overall, I give this episode an 8 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Awesome.

Really funny to watch this episode on the Internet

Watching this episode on the Internet is really funny. To see the beginning of this episode is really funny, especially the aol joke and the professors PC still running a Text only display, not to mention their idea of the metaverse.
