That's what makes them queen bees. I thought they did. Because when more than one baby queen is born, the first one to emerge kills the other two by stinging them to death. And queens can take over hives by killing the queens by stinging them to death... Do they lose their stingers? I might be mistaken. It doesn't matter though, they can get away with it no matter what because they are outer space bees. Lines I liked in this one: H: "Honeycomb big! Yeah yeah yeah!" B: "Honeycomb small?" H: "No no no!" Prof: "Ordinary honey." Leela: "That doesn't sound so dangerous." Prof: "This is no ordinary honey!"

I thought the episode wasn't very funny, but it was great to see the relationship between Leela and Fry could be getting somewhere.

Fry telling Leela to wake up one last time? That's an allright throwaway joke, but I'm glad they didn't end it like that. My heart sank when Leela woke up after Fry was regenerated from the royal jelly, so ending the ep with "Wake up" would really just be annoying.

It was a great episode. Thank god for tapes and VCRs. I was in Bellingham, to pick up a friend who was gonna help me with a televison production, but she got sick... Anyway I was aon the freeway and missed it, I got home at 7:15. I wasn't going to turn it on in the middle of the episode and spoil it all for myself. So I watched it after i ended. But I still missed IT!!! Anyway, I figured out right away that Leela had been stung and not Fry, since the singer did go right through him and rip Leela's shirt. The mark in the middle of the rip gave it away to me. It was a great episode. Zoidberg's "I wish I could have removed the singer" was great with the empasis on the "G". and then the sound of the stinger being crushed as the coffin lid closed. The whole "Don't worry, Bee happy" song was halarious. Overall, one of the best epsiodes.

You're understanding of human anatomy is a tad different than mine. Usually when someone is pierced all the way through, many vital organs and vessels are torn and the individual dies. When someone just barely gets pricked, they tend to survive. Of course this fails to take into account any poison that may have been injected.

This episode takes its place in my top 5 favorites. I LOVED the "Please Wake Up" parts from Fry. My favorite joke of the episode is when Leela says that the only things the old crew did better was "suck and die".
In all the humor in this episode was overshadowed by the plot line, that had me on the edge of my seat. I laughed, I cried, I LOVED IT!

It was a very strange, though okay episode...
I liked all the past-episode references and 'Walking on sunshine' played by that Scottish dude was very well done. Quite an emotional ending, but nothing compared with Jurassic Bark.
Overall, seems like this Futurama season is, just like Simpsons season 14, ending pretty well after a few weak episodes...

I don't think Scruffy is Scottish. He seems to talk in a 3rd person American accent whenever he talks. Though we may have now found out that he has Scottish ancestry...

When Fry had worms a few episodes before, he told her he loved her.

El Zilcho is right. Fry says that he loves her but has never been able to put it into words before in "Parasites Lost."
However, "The Sting" is the first time he says he loves her not under the influence of mind-altering chemicals or parasites, etc. Quite a plot development if you ask me.

Rich, original, subtle, dense, with a wide range of emotions and a coma "delirium" going crescendo that really worked on me...and that's all I could expect. This ep reaches my top 10 favorites, actually I mean my top 5... hey wait no ! it reaches my top 1 !! Originally posted by *getak2003*: *but it was then followed by, "you need to take a shower" and then "you too" i hate those little mood killers. * I didn't think it was a mood killer. Of course, it would have been if they said out of loud "pioo! you stink ! you have to take a shower..." The way they said it (whispering) suited their complicity ; it was just in the right tone to make me have a last laugh without spoiling my mood ! it brought a funny final touch to this crazy ep...IMHO

"Waking Moments"! That's the episode that kept alluding me. I also kinda liked the reference to "Demon" (although the Voyager ep stunk (no offence )) I'm glad it wasn't as shippy as I had feared (or maybe I'm just not looking hard enough), but I think this was more a show of friendship and a guilty conscience, than true love.

I also think this was one of the best episodes ever!
There was a lot of romance between L/F, I think that was nice, it gave us something to think about, maybe they are getting closer together.
And the humor, it was sarcastic, that's what I love in Futurama, that typical Bender-like humor, that Fry-stupidness and Leela was a little bit confused and messed up in this episode, but that was because she was in a coma.
The beginning was great ! The professor saying that they weren't good enough and finding that black box and the other ship. The plot was also very funny, I never thought that Fry would stay death, but I didn't guess it was Leela who had gotten the poison, IT WAS FUN!

Originally posted by CyberKnight: Oh, non taken. "Demon" is possibly the worst Voyager episode (even worse than "Endgame" ). Worse than "Threshold"? How is that possible? By the way, Teral, have you noticed something ST and Futurama have in common - the fans blame a person named Berman . Heh, yeah that's almost too spooky. To qoute an old "acquaintance: "I believe in coincidences, coincidences happen every day. I just don't trust coincidences."

Just got to see the sting, I watched it at work (dont tell the boss) but I really enjoyed it. Very confusing and I loved the "Dont worry bee happy" bit.
Awesome ep
