Zapp was really funny in this episode. I found it really funny the way he lay in bed next to Leela and she punches him. There way some really nice moments with Kif and Amy especially the hologram room scene. Now the thing that disappointed me is that Amy didn’t really got Kif pregnant, it was Leela!!! But they still play it along as though Amy did get Kif pregnant.

Great moments from Zoidberg when he cried like a baby and Kif given birth was a hilarious. The very end bit cracks me up. I Love the little babies in the end.

I liked it, though. And now I have something to work with for my Jade fanfic.

Did you notice that the only clumsy babies were the two-eyed ones? Hmm...makes you think about the old Leela v. Amy wars.

Okay, I'll admit that I had some pretty high hopes for this episode, so this review is going to be unfair.

When I heard the description, of Kif getting pregnant, I first though "Alien parody". And, for a while, I was doing pretty well. The cryo-sleep before danger (Alien 1), everything getting sucked out into the vaccum of space (Alien 1, Alien 4). After I realized this was going to be a 'shipper episode, I was immediately disappointed.

This seemed very, very rushed. Like the last Kif/Amy episode, "Where the Buggalo Roam", it didn't really strike me. Many good joke tangents were quickly abandoned. I would have liked to see a Leela/Kif "stay together for the kids" thing, or Fry and Amy being jealous that their crush impregnated the other's.

However, Zapp and Zoidberg completely rocked in their particular parts. Zoidy flying out of the tube was so expected, but so funny nonetheless.

And what is it with feel-good, warm and fuzzy endings this 'season'? So far, 3 out of the 5 eps shown have some sort of moral at the end.

Great Lines (not sure if they're 100% right, cuz I don't have them with me)

Zapp: "Our love has gone through so much, including your hatred of me, Leela."

Farnsy: "Even I laughed at myself when I built this..."

Overall, a medicore 6 out of 10.

And also:
"Stop! No shoot fire stick in space canoe! Cause explosive decompression!"

GREAT episode. Excellent one-liners, I mean, some really funny stuff, like when the Midwife says (paraphrased) "I'm the great Midwife" and Fry goes "HI!". Hilarious.

The plot was somewhat bizarre, but it ended up great. It was just a funny, funny episode. The laughs continued for the whole ep.

I think inventing a way for Kif to get pregnant was creative. It was a nice way of reminding the audience that Amy and Kif are still together. I would still like to see them get married.

I was a tad disappointed that they decided to throw away this plot line. It does nothing to progress Kif and Amy and only destroys Leela. They could have gotten Kif and Amy married. (Do you get the point that I want to see that?)

Nothing says that Kif and Amy have to raise their young. Kif has never talked about his parents. Amphibians often don't raise their young. I think having a little Kroaker appear on the Nimbus would be cool.

I also liked the throwaway joke about the glove...the poster in hygiene class.

Nice ST:TNG reference with the Holodeck/Holoshed. I was originally thinking something slightly dirtier with the Holoshed until they showed it to us. While in the Holoshed, I liked, "Run program kif://3"

Zapp's idiocy - in some ways, beyond Fry's - shows blatantly in this ep. Such as, "The creatures from the Holoshed are alive!" "I'm going to go relax in the Holoshed."

The stuck moon saving Kif was great. Irony of nearly killing him to saving him. I was originally thinking that Amy was going to jump out after him. Oh, and why are they not dead?

I think a Zapp/Kif baby would have been hilarious. Kif plays best off of Zapp, and fatherhood would really make Zapp's antics funnier.

The episode ended up being a little better than I thought it would be with some good jokes, but not many... and the story line was still un-intresting.

Kif: The Holo-shed is on the fritz again, the characters turned real.
Zapp: Damn, the last time that happened I got slapped with three paternity suits.

The only thing I didn't like which has been stated by others is the lack of response from Leela, and Fry about Leela impregnating Kif. But I think I can understand Amy's lack of response, as she was afraid to Commit to Kif...

8/10 is my vote

Good episode me thinks. I liked the pokes at holographic characters always coming alive on Star Trek. I like episodes with Zapp, plenty of good one liners here. I also enjoyed the frog on Kif's planet eating Bender, then spitting him out with the cigar in his mouth.
