Anyway, the story strikes me as a cop out. The dreams are explained away as the product of the worms rather than any subconcious desires of Fry. Thus, while it may start out as Amy/Fry, it doesn't end that way.

In my mind, you missed a perfect opportunity to explore any leftover feelings that Fry and Amy have. A chance to explore the wear and tear on Fry's psyche due to Leela's constant rejection and other reasons Fry might give up on Leela.

Now I understand that wouldn't work with the way you set things up. Leela and Fry are a couple in this fic and that brings me to my next point. You once said you think of your stories as one cohesive whole. It's rather difficult for the reader to see that as the stories don't seem connected in any way (with the exception of SpyORama. All those stories exist more or less under one title)

Unless otherwise specifically stated, each story assumes a private universe. For example, TFZ will never cross paths with IM (The Frylight Zone and The Impressionable Mind respectively) That said, if a first time reader chooses this fic to read first, they will undoubtedly be confused.

On its own merits, ignoring missed opportunities and the other factors already listed, the story is fairly amusing. I really do feel more could have been done with the dreams. More specificly, the reactions to them. Fry basically spends the story refusing to face what the dreams might mean. Leela, upon learning of them, acts like Fry has been unfaithful. I don't know too many people who can control their own dreams. Not only that, but unless a guy is blind, he's going to look. Fantasing is not cheating in any definition of the word. (As long as you don't call your girlfriend some other name while doing stuff. Let's not get stupid:P)

Amy and Kif also have weird reactions to the revelation. Kif tries to kill Fry, an action that is alien to that character. I don't care what normal boyfriends would do, Kif is very much a coward. Even in the show, when he saved Amy, he was still naive and a coward. I have a hard time believing he would kill or try to harm anyone. Amy is more or less neutral to the whole thing, despite shocked intial reactions and a nonplussed yay over Leela's excitment that the dreams mean nothing.

I see we both have a Dune-esque planet with a rare and valuable resource in it in our stories. Just an observation.

Once we get into things, it begins with the best flashback that this series has seen thus far, that being Eternium a million years into the past. It's brilliantly described, with the character of Aeryn providing insight and emotion to the whole thing. It also spreads new light on The Might One legend without messing with it, which is hard and a good thing to do. Huge kudos to Dave for this start.

Good to see Zoidberg's alive and well, though hungry. His slaying of the Donbot would generally be considered OOC, but given the circumstances, and the fact that Zoidby likely had a lot of pent up rage, I think it suited him here.

The next flashback with Adoy produces some mixed feelings. It's well written and interesting, with some clever new concepts and revelations. However, two problems. The first is actually one I've been unsure about for a while but have now pinpointed it, and that's that the Omicronians (or Persae, as Dave calls them (sorry, still can't get used to that.)) come across as being portrayed as overly evil. They've always been a mean and powerful race, but I never really saw them as being truly evil as they are portrayed here. The second point is that for being a Nibblonian (I assume?) the character of Adoy seems to be very strong and large, judging from descriptions here. The mental attacks are fine, but this guy that's about the size of a cat seems to battle Troll sized Omicronians in hand to hand combat. Not very realistic, but then I may be missing something here?

Amy and Leela returning back is good too. I think the "death" of Zoidberg hitting the characters was well done, with Amy and Leela sad and Hermes just a smidgen affected. It's also well written and everybody is in-character, though I always pictured Hermes was higher up the corporate PE ladder than Leela was, even with the Professor gone. He always came across to be as Farnsworth's second banana, so Leela suddenly being above him came across as strange. Admittedly a nitpick. The scene ends well with the envelope in Leela's locker though.

Good to see Smith and Rand again. And good to see his thoughts on the fembot as well. Nicely done. The next Adoy flashback is good too, no problems there.

Good scene at Leela's apartment. Leela looking back on her life was interesting, but I always got the impression she was actually with Sean during the run of the show while she was at PE and not just before hand. Several comments seem to suggest that to me, so that seemed a bit strange. Again, nitpicking here... but the rest was very good. Her thinking about her friends and how Fry was involved with the more recent good things in her life was nicely touching. Fry's letter was cute and Leela's talk with Amy was a good touch, I like how they can relate to each other regarding their men of interest both being away as soldiers.

The scene with Leo is good too. Nice to see a new perspective on the whole thing, this time from Amy's grumpy father.

Leela talking with Allen was nicely written and touching as well. I can't help but feel sorry for the guy being isolated from Morgan.

The short scene with the old man leaves me curious.

Leela's chat with her mother was good, even a tad amusing (though she's somehow winking with one eye like her daughter can too). Even she can see that Leela considers Fry more than a friend just from her daughter's actions. Her reasons for not helping Leela make sense too.

Zoidberg's discussion with the voice is interesting. Though I'm not sure I like his "real name" considering his fellow race all seem to have names that match more closely to Zoidberg, and the idea that he's lived over 200 years seems to be odd and unfitting too. Both seem to mess too much with his character. Other than that, the conversation he has was interesting.

The two scenes with Fry seems a bit short to me though. Better than nothing of course, but he barely featured in the previous chapter and the same goes here. Considering the main topic of the story, I think there needs to be at least a little more focus on Fry. Perhaps the next chapter will make up for it though... I'll just wait and see.

The remaining scenes can be summed up simply by saying they are nicely written, informative military info pieces that add to the puzzle. Generally well done, but there seems to be an increasing amount of military-related OC's to keep track of, and it's getting tricky.

Overall, aside from the nitpicks I said above, this chapter was pretty good. Fairly good length, being long but not too so. A good mix of styles and perspectives too, be it military, emotional or informative, or even all of them. Some of the previous chapters would focus too much on generic military facts that could be a bore, but there was a good amount of flashbacks and moments with Leela and co. in this part to stop if from suffering from that. The overall style is good, with more direct descriptions and dialogue that improved on the numerous vague summaries from earlier parts. I think this is more the style this story is going for overall, i.e. nicely mixed around evenly between emotion, raw facts and plot-driving/exposition. Characters were well portrayed, and there's still the odd error overall and a bit too much messing with character histories, but we also have some good examples of that as well. I would have to say though, the amount of military-themed characters has probably gone far enough now. Their mostly good, but some come across as a little 2-dimensional and/or unneccessary. I'd recommend limiting them from mow on. So, overall... a good addition to the series, probably one of the best technically. I look forward to more.

Where should I start?  I love this story.  I love it so much, I had to do my own version of it.  Kryten's story has a blend of comedy and action.  One of the things I had always wanted to happen on the show was to see Amy sub for Leela as captain.  We've seen Fry and Bender as captain, but Amy would've been just as good, if not better.

It starts off with Bender providing a meal for the Planet Express Crew, but Leela gets sick due to an allgeric reaction.  With the captain unable to fly the ship, Hermes choose's Mars's own Amy Wong.

At first Fry is jealous, but soon gets over and accepts Amy as the new captain.  Bender, however is not happy and makes some of the funniest lines in the story.  This story does borrow the episode "Love's Labors Lost In Space" storyline, in that the PE crew get arrest by Zapp once again. Bender's insult's to Amy are what makes this story funny and Amy's desire to prove herself as captain is just as good.  Her chemistry with Zapp is genius.  Though, I wish Kryten had done a much more memorable ending, I must say that fanfic set the standard of how to write a fanfic that models after the show.

This was my very first fanfic that I read, let it be yours, if you just started to read fanfics.

This fanfic is worth reading at TLZ.  This fanfic reminds me of crossovers done by Kryten.  This fanfic combines two shows I like, Futurama and Kim Possible.  I've love Kim Possible since it first aired, just like how I love Futurama when it first aired.

This fanfic features Kim and Ron and they've accidentally been sent to the future and decide to get jobs at Planet Express where they seem to get along with Fry and Leela. 

Robot Devil and Motor Ed make appearances in this fanfic.  I would've loved to have seen Drakken and Shego make appearances, but this fanfic makes up for that.  I love it when Kim, Ron, Leela and Fry arrive at the amusement park and people think they are a family.  Kim redhead, Fry redhead.  Leela martial artist, Kim martial artist.  Ron screw-up, Fry screw up.  I love the similarities because they end up working well.  This fanfic has become one of my favorites.
