It is Freedom Day and that means people are free to do whatever they like... well almost everything; as Zoidberg discovers when he eats the flag and has to flee to his planet's embassy as a mob intent on killing him pursue. After a trial in absentia he is sentenced to death which leads to Decapodia declaring war on Earth! With Zapp in command of Earth's forces it is only a matter of time before the Decapodians have Earths defence codes and defeat is absolute! With Earth now enslaved by the Decapodians salvation will come from an unexpected hero!
This was an entertaining episode that put Zoidberg centre stage for a change; the idea of him being condemned to death for eating a flag was as funny as it was ludicrous and gave us a chance to see another member of the unfortunate Waterfall family; this time Old Man Waterfall who unsuccessfully defends Zoidberg. Zapp's gross incompetence provided some good laughs as did the slightly manic head of President Richard Nixon.
