But people with no gang knowledge won't understand about the Blips and Cruds! That means it's a bad episode!

I don't know what to rate it. I'm not sure if happy with the episode, or if it was almost a little disappointed. The ending was a bit stupid in my opinion. That just might be me.
I'll have to rewatch, but I loved the second act.

The Winnie the Pooh reference totally worked for me. Too funny.

I was really impressed with this episode. The premise sounds utterly ridiculous (and it is), but seeing it play out was really fun. It made great use of the future and I appreciated the focus on the trio. But best of all, it was funny. There were quite a few parts that had me in laughter:
-The idea of the two gangs having almost-identical colours was great. -"Leela, now's not the time to show me your boobs!" -I liked how they didn't spend too long on the gang planet (because lets face it; they're hardly the most original characters). -The stuff with Hedonismbot was disturbing. -"I'm 40% back baby!" -Bender sawing off Tinny Tim's legs and subsequently stealing his board was hilariously dark. -"I didn't even know you had an ass!" -The animation on the gas sea was beautiful. -The ships all crashing at the end was a nice touch.
If there's anything I can be critical about, it's that the joke level seemed to drop once they met Tarquin. It was still tolerable, so it's no real big deal. However, the ending with "Assie" coming home made no sense at all. Like, none. I suppose you could argue that it was meant to be ridiculous, but the same could be said about all the magical-nonsense in Bender's Game and "Neutopia". And speaking of Neutopia, did anyone else think the Borax Kid looked smaller than his first appearance, or was that just me?
I may be in the minority, but I'm thinking this episode's worthy of an 8.5/10, or possibly even a 9. Really impressive send-off for the Bender episodes.

Bender mentioned that his ass has a hind-brain. While it doesn't allow his ass to think, it allows it to feel, and his ass missed Bender and understood on an instinctual level how wrong it was to listen to the bible.

We're all giving this a 10 out of 10 right?
I think we all considered giving it that. But the peer pressure made us give it a lower score.

This episode was as every bit as great and wacky as I hoped it to be, it had some really cool science-fiction stuff going on, really, really great animation, good pacing, lots of jokes and MAN was it dark in places. 9/10One complaint off the top of my head, and it's not really about the episode itself, but the title caption was way too similar to the one from "Möbius Dick," which was: Featuring Sparky, the Invisible Elf That just seemed kind of lazy, imo.

Liked this episode a lot. Second one in a row with a "Good Old Futurama" feel to it.
Wonder why Leela thought turning their shirts inside out would reverse left-right colors of them. Actually, she'd have to flip the shirt front-back to do that.
Anyone catch a framegrab of what appears to be a Dr. Zoidberg with human horn poster on the inside of the door at the Porno Dealing Monsters store?

"Justice does not work that way."I found the gang scene very amusing with all the stupidity of Blibs and Cruds. Leela's out-of-nowhere moral lesson was nice conclusion. 'k... Poor Tinny-Tim... It was so terrible it was very funny. That's basically his character and joke exceeded itself without being over-used yet. "I can feel it in my weather-channel app.""It has been microwaving longer I can remember."I liked character Tarquin very much, over-stereotypical á la Futurama, like the gangs were. Interstellar fog was nice analogy to a sea, but it was slightly too fictional imo. Impressive looking, though: asteroids, lightning, purple fog. "This ain't a church, lady. Except for the tax purposes."Ending of the episode was excellent, the epic emotional reunion worked well with the contr asst. That said, problem with it was the exaggerated quality of ass - shiny - in the first place. Other than that, other things didn't bother me since it was silly altogether. Bender, Fry and Leela exploring all over the universe trying to get Bender completed again, showing their deep friendship, but Bender's selfishness too. Pacing was good and single plotline was basically necessary to this lengthy, versatile story. I liked this adventurous episode, 8/10.
