Also, it was beyond great to see everybody drunk, that was a plot twist I did not see coming. The Planet Express crew was the best, you could just see how drunk they were. I was very happy that I got to see Fry, Leela, The Professor, Zapp, Kif and Zoidberg drunk, I've always wanted to see that on Futurama
Thank god I'm not the only person who derived enormous enjoyment from that scene. The over-the-top drunkenness of the entire crew (most notably Hermes ("That's my boy!") and Farnsworth ("That's why I love you")) was hysterical, and it pretty much made the episode for me. Sometimes silly slap-happiness can just be fun...to both watch and, you know, experience.

I watched Benderama for the first time tonignt (though I was In and Out dealing with other household obligations)...
Seemed Okay...The Sandstorm created by the Professors invention lead to a satisfying conclusion.
Lacking a DVR (and VCR) to review this further.

Was an okay episode, but i felt sorry for that poor giant monster. Dude just couldn't get a break, and to be honest I think he would have worked better in his own episode. He just ended up distracting from the grey goo scenario which was already interesting enough.
The giant monster in this episode reminded me of my roommate my Sophmore year in Collage... Hideous on the outside (and me too...) but one of the kindest beautiful people I have ever been associated with. One of the greatest expreiences in my life. I cannot count the number of times I kicked the upper bunk over his snoring.

Number 4 on the DVD. The little Benders were so cute heheh. This episode causes problems for me at the end, though. Specifically how they all just materialized into the sky...okay...and will they come back? Who knows...I also took issue with them consuming the bully but then they show tiny Benders in his cigar smoke at the end.
And what is the lesson here...not that I am under any delusion that these episodes are supposed to have morals like early day Simpsons or anything. But I found it out that the whole crew taunted the giant and he is the one that is characterized as the bully. Shouldn't it be the other way around? What's the outcome here then, bullies win? What do you guys think?

Spacefish: Yeah I originally gave it a 5 I see, I would probably move it to a 6. I think I was recovering from Neutopia being the first one back...

Bleh. Neutopia was horrible. Worse than YLL in my opinion.
I agree. I gave this one a 7/10 originally and I think I'd still give it that.

I have to admit I really didn't like how the bully was killed at the end, when he tried so hard to apologize and ignore the insults the crew kept pelting back at him. I know that the fact the giant didn't deserve his fate at all is the joke and some will find that funny, but for me it put a sour note in my mouth.
^This. Also strikes the eye that they did not dare to give the giant any (and be it such a small detail) appearance characteristic of any minority/victimized group. I stated it once, I state it again: Regarding Sci Fi ideas and twist, the writers do have great ideas and dared cover new grounds. But when it comes to political correctness, the Futurama writers are rather cowardly...

Re-watch: Fry and Bender on the couch watching TV, Fry is reclining with the remote on his chest. Lazy. I do it all the time..... I personally didn't think that all those "you so ugly"-jokes were even remotely funny. "You so ugly you crap the Daily Mail!" Seriously?
"You're so ugly, you cracked the Daily Mirror. <pause> It's a newspaper!" Poor giant guy, such blatant discrimination against giant beings in the future. No wonder they usually go on a skyline-smashing rampage.

You seemed to say: "Yeah, it's good, but this part is crap and it lacks this part."
