Pretty good from what I have seen, Robot devil is hilarious, and the plot twist with Leela having to marry the Devil was good.
Havent seen all of it yet but when I do I will post a better set of comments

This episode was excellent and it was really good to see the robot devil again. He was great and I just love his voice. Excellent opera number in the end. It's realty good and has a good story to it. My fave lime it "I not done vomiting" that eating bot was really funny. I also like it when the devil said "Come on Nixon" I LOL on that bit. Originally posted by lfv: anyone notice Leela was able to hear Tinny Tim's "half over" line? She read the print.

So, that's it... The last Futurama. It was an excellent episode, well done. The robot devil was nice to see again. I didn't see the first 10 minutes, but I'm sure to find someone with it taped soon enough. The ending was good. It was shippy, but it was still real good. Kinda left it hanging, and I thought that was fine. Still, its so sad to see it end...

Beelzebot used signs to point out what he said, and Leela deduced the rest. Originally posted by lfv: anyone notice Leela was able to hear Tinny Tim's "half over" line? I think she read it from the headline of the newspaper. Anyway, I liked it. Fry's helpless holophoner playing, Beelzebot, even the singing, particular Leela (Katey Sagal really do have a great voice, even Billy West did good). Great opening caption, and the classic animation clip was replaced by the Futurama scene. Well, we all new it's already a classic. The whole Leela/Fry thing was resolved pretty neat, with the marrying-Beeæzebot, and finally just seeing Fry's idea about how the opera would end. Nice, and cute. All in all, I'd say if this was the final episode this was a great way to end the show. Nice work, Mr Keeler. Some lines that spring to mind: "And by metaphoricly I mean get your coat" "Then goodday, Madam! .. We hope to see you soon for tea" (with heavy upperclass British accent) "We're did I go just now?" "Give me back my hands, these things are always touching in places." "Yeah, they get around." "Can I have my hands back now?" "NO!!" "You're not nice!" "The beauty was in your heart, not your hands. ... Your music is bad, and you should feel bad." (Fry walks out of an deserted opera-room)"Please don't stop playing Fry. I wanna hear how it ends." Some good things: Bender acting as Fry's parent , the grumpy snail turning into a monster, Leela muttering about Sean, Beelzebot wanting his hands back, Leela eating buggalo like a slop, etc. It was all good.

Ah, the Hedonismbot. I did just a teeny bit in that ep for Wes Archer. (Or was it Bret Hollaand?) The scene where the Devilbot is yelling "Actors aren't supposed to be telling what they're going to do next!", or something like that, & the 4 flames rise from the stage. They cut out an Amy 'emotion Flash card' gag that I did, but they kept the 1st one in.

Pretty good episode. It left us hanging alittle too much, though. I kind of think that 'The Why of Fry,' should of been the 2nd to last episode. Anyone agree.

It was a very good episode. I was a little disappointed at first that it didn't have anything to do with Nibbler and stuff, but by the end, I had completely forgotten all about Nibbler.
Also, for about a week before the episode showed, I was thinking about how they would do the opening song. I was hoping they would show Futurama on the screen that the ship crashed into, and they did.

Well, it's over, except for the shouting, and I have to say, this was a grand episode to go out on. Fry has finally declared his love for Leela in a way that he'd never done before, and it seems like Leela is finally willing to give him more than the time of day.
This was a beautiful episode, and I'm sad that there aren't anymore, but, this was what a series like Futurama deserved to go out on.
*A toast* Futurama, the destination isn't so important as the journey, and what a wonderous journey it's been. Not goodbye, but, simply, see you later.

"I want to hear how it ends."
It's over, everyone. So ends a brilliant show, and the finale was a great episode all-around.
True, it didn't have a great number of laughs along the lines of "Roswell", but it was certainly funny and the plot/pacing was terrific. Being a musician, I loved how this episode was devoted to the power of music. And the music, by the way, was wonderful.
1st act: Loved the Donkey Kong joke (first and last episodes of Futurama have 'em now!), being a huge Nintendo fan. And I thought the twist near the end of the act was great; I was sure (along with many others here) that Fry would end up getting Bender's hands...and he ends up getting the Robot Devil's. Also fitting to have Dan Castellanata as the final guest voice. D'oh!
2nd act: Wonderful music, and I loved Fry's usage of his new hands (juggling Bender)...it led to very entertaining scenes. I would've liked to see more of the P.E. Crew, seeing as the episode had a heavy focus on Fry, Leela, Bender, and Beelzebot. I liked the romantic music playing when Leela was eating something similar to a giant cockroach leg, and likewise enjoyed the music of Fry practicing. Bender's "Bite my shiny metal--OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" was terrific!
Finale: Hahah, I've been waiting for a full-on Futurama musical! Good music, good lines...GREAT resolution. I'm glad it didn't end with Leela and Fry being in bed together or something, and finished with some serious CLASS. The last line of the series (said by Leela) is more fitting than any I could've come up with. Coupled with the image onscreen, it got me all choked up.
5/5!
Here's to a great episode, and a wonderful show! We will always remember Futurama!

great ending episode. Had everything you would want. Zoidberg buying 8 of everything was really funny. So was the robot devil, and Fry finally winning leela's love.

What's annoying is that FOX put a "BANZAI" bug on the second act. That's just a low blow, if you ask me.

This was probably the best take I have ever seen on the "I gave my this to give you that, but you sold your that to give me this" story. The writers just continue to field such smart episodes, right to the end. Combined with all of the other events, and Dan as the Robot Devil makes this a classic. Good to see it end with a great episode, unlike what will probably happen to the Simpsons, if it ever ends.

I thought the episode was great all around. I laughed a lot, I loved the cameos by all the characters (Zapp, Morbo, Calculon, Tinny Tim, etc.), and the ending was sooo sweet it actually made me cry. The only other cartoon ending I've ever cried at was the Pinky and the Brain Christmas Special. The tagline at the beginning was priceless. I was wondering if they could pull off a perfect tagline, and they did. Go them. I really liked this Robot Devil appearance better than his first one. He was a lot funnier than I thought he would be. The singing at the end was amazing. Overall, I'd rate this as one of the best episodes ever, probably the best one of the season (I've missed a few eps this season.)
I've got a question, though. There was a female alien sitting next to Morbo at the opera house. Has she ever appeared before? She looked like she's his wife or girlfriend, and I never realized Morbo had one.
