Originally posted by [-mArc-]: To be honest, I don't know which one it is. Just too small. Did "U Leave Me Breathless" turn up in Love&Rocket? If they both do, I'll just delete the quote from the capsule and have it say "heart candy from L&R". It was "U Leave Me Breathless." I can see it very clearly on my, ah, digital copy. Here's an image of it - I magnified it and circled the individual words. It clearly says: U leave me breath- less.

I just noticed - on the framegrab on the main page, you can tell Fry's jetpack is upside-down

I couldn't hear, there where too much static.
This is spacebees/wasps. In other words, organisms living in space, and obviously very dangerous animals. It's possible the two species are very similar in appearance, and someone simply made a labelling mistake on the envelope. Maybe the expedition who retrieved the career chips didn't include any skilled exo-biologists, and they where too busy fighting for their lifes to take good pictures.
You have to hand it to old man Farnsworth though, he can be pretty sneaky. I bet that little story at the beginning was a simple piece of reverse psychology.

How the hell are organisms living in space? There's no air, no water, and the only land is the asteroids. Rank-up in 6 posts. Edit: Oh, and exobiologists have been renamed by NASA to astrobiologists.

Let's just face it: it's a goof. The Pilot was written way before The Sting was conceived, and they just included the Space Wasp thing as a gag. Later, they decided to write an episode about the old crew which developed into The Sting, and they had to change wasps to bees because wasps don't make honey. Can we accept it as cartoon logic and move on?

Here's something: Since we were seeing Leela's dream, everything should have been from her point of view, but it wasn't. For instance, how did she dream the bit with Bender on fire since it happened before she arrived?

You never had a dream that seemed very real while you were dreaming it, but was extremely weird and irrational to you when you woke up? (Assuming you remembered it, of course.)

You mean like them getting rocketed across the room when you wake up from those dreams? What's scary is that I know exactly what you're talking about. It was being seen from her POV, but it had to show something without Leela present, or we would realize that, "Hey! We haven't had a single second without Leela on the screen!" and would figure out the ending.

They've been proved to be abnormal! She went insane! The characters appeared on her walls telling her that she killed Fry (though she didn't).
Who goes insane in their dreams? (Besides Leela) Apparently (hopefully) the venom made her insane.
Countdown: One post to go!

Originally posted by SQFreak: The characters appeared on her walls telling her that she killed Fry (though she didn't). Well, technically, she didn't, but practically, she did. She forced him to go on that mission even though they both knew it was too dangerous, and she was the one who brought the killer space been onboard the ship. Yes, he did sacrafice his life for her by his own choice (well, he didn't actually die, but he was prepared to, and Leela thought he did), but he wouldn't have had to if it weren't for her. She didn't actually kill him, but he [could have] died because of her, and with that guilt on her chest, she might as well have killed him herself. She didn't have to be insane to have that point of view; a good friend [could have] died, and it was entirely her fault. This unnecesserily long-winded rant can be summarised in two words: guilty counsciense.

I did a list here, along with a list of everything in Leela's box. I think there are still a few unidentified people at the funeral, but they could have just been random chracters.

I'm pretty sure there weren't any random characters at the funeral scene, although I can't list them all off the top of my head right now. I'll watch that scene again and tell you.(Damn, this is so embarrassing - I watched the episode about 7 or 8 times now, and I still don't know it by heart. Yeah, I'm a dork ) * Two Trisolians * Two Neptunian "elves" * Sal * Cuebert * Dwight * Gunther * Leela's old boss * Terry (Leela's old co-worker) * Father Changstein Al-Gamal * Somebody's head (Chester A. ....?) * Scruffy * an Amazonian * Petunia * Girl Fry picked up at The Hip Joint * Morgan Proctor * Michelle * "Radiator woman from the radiator planet" * Three Signoids from the pizzeria in "A Leela of Her Own" * Leo Wong * Inez Wong * Amy * Dr. Zoidberg * Hermes * LaBarbara * Professor Farnsworth * Bender * Leela * Fry

I'm only at 5 times through Leela, Professor, Amy, Hermes, LaBarbara, Amazon Woman (who was previously in the mood), Scruffy, Priest, Radiator, Michelle, Petunia, Wong family, President Chester A. Arthur, Cubert, Sal (why?), Neptunians ( not Elzar), "two Cygnoids" (who are they - that's courtesy Action Jacktion), petrified Seymour the dog - I'm missing two girlfriends.
