Leela goes blind and Bender joins the Robot Mafia

Warning: Spoilers
This episode opens with the crew going to watch Elzar's cooking show being recorded; Bender encourages Enzar to knock it up a notch with another blast from his spice weasel; unfortunately he gets distracted and accidentally gives Leela a blast of spice in her eye. While she is in hospital Elzar comes to visit and invites them to have a meal in his restaurant... what he doesn't say is that he expects them to pay for it! Unable to pay Bender ends up working there but soon quits when offered a job working as a hired goon for the Robot Mafia. He enjoys the work until he learns that their next job will be stealing Zuban cigars from the Planet Express ship.

This episode had some great moments; Elzar's scenes were good and the Robot Mafia provide some decent laughs although Clamps was a one joke character. The jokes about Leela continuing to think she could do her job while blind and wearing an eye-patch did go on a bit too long although the final joke when she finally gets her sight back was really funny! The biggest laugh though came from Hermes when he told Zoidberg that he'd be paying for damage caused by Leela... it was funny because it was so unjustified!

Another Bender-centric episode that i just love. It's very brilliant writing once again. Bender's conning and violent ways are noticed by the robot mafia and soon he starts working for them.

He's doing great and his boss really likes him but complications arise when the boss decides to destroy the planet express ship. With Leela and fry taken hostage, Bender tries his best to save his friends. I just love when Bender takes the spotlight because he's so damn funny.

This episode is again a genius addition to the show and its second season, which is as good if not better than the first season. I give it 9.5/10. Brilliant!

The One With The Robot Mafia...

I liked this episode. It wasn't amazing, but it was enjoyable to watch, and I definitely recommend people who like Futurama to watch this episode.

In this episode, Bender gets introduced to the Robot Mafia, and ends up helping them out with a few things here and there. But then he develops a conscience when he discovers that the next target of the Mafia's crime is in fact, The Planet Express ship. They're going to steal some valuable items that the crew is transporting.

Title card: Simulcast On Crazy People's Fillings.

Best part of the episode: Bender developing a conscience.

Overall, I give this episode a 6 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Good.
