It really is one of the highest highlights of the series, in my opinion. Speaking as a non-shipper, even without the romantic elements, the episode really could stand on its own as one of the best. I love the concept of Leela thinking she's getting insaner while she's actually becoming more sane, I love the callbacks to previous episodes, and I even love the musical number. One of my faves for sure.

The Sting is probably the best Futurama in the world ever!

The Sting is the best episode. All other opinions are wrong.

Yeah, The Sting is definitely the best episode. No question. I mean, come on. It's even so good that Atomic Raygun Attack! made a whole album about it. The story could work on its own as a good scifi story. And yet, it's packed full of laughs and emotional Futurama-ey goodness. Animated perfectly. Plus it contains Sarge Morton's PEEL avatar. Whenever I see Fry pointing in that episode, I am filled with warm thoughts. I loved that man.

The "it was all a dream" concept is not an unforgivable sin. It has a bad rap because it always gets used in the worst possible way - i.e. to make the events of the episode meaningless. When done properly, like it was here, it can be a genuine dramatic twist and not just a cop-out.

All other opinions are wrong. *snatches up The Breakfast Club soundtrack and beats SP over the head with it* I do love this episode, though. Besides just being beautifully written and directed, and besides the excellent voice acting (especially during that scene at the end...), it's one of three episodes that actually brought me to tears because the emotional impact was so hard. Certainly amongst one of my favorites of the entire run of the show... to this point.

'The Sting' is one of the best Futurama episodes of all time. In my opinion it stands head and shoulders above the rest of Season 4 without doubt...

Well, I know the Professor doesn't technically have to make sense. But at least the sign in MTS and most of their other deliveries were funny  ...but honey? And yeah, the visual imagery in this episode is just gorgeous.
