I reluctantly clicked 10/10. This episode was so funny and brilliant. What I didn't like, though, was the Fry/Leela dynamic. When us FryxLeela shippers said we wanted them to hook up, we didn't REALLY mean it. And the "we love each other now" dynamic showed, especially around the end.  Leela not following Fry, as AMAZINGLY minor as it is, is a step in the right direction. I should've given this a lower score. But it was so funny...

I didn't get why Fry and Leela are all friendly and stuff and they talk like: "Thanks, you're a good friend!" Chronically, they should be LOVERS! Didn't Fry say I love you in The wild green yonder and didn't Leela answer: i love you too? I mean, in rebirth and in-a-gadda-da-leela they were lovers too. That's what i didn't get.
Girls have told me the same thing, but I have never been lovers with anyone. I get it. And it hurts. * Svip weeps.

Referring to Fry and Leela as lovers gives me a certain Harlequin vibe. I've said this before and I'll say it again (because I have very few original ideas and just have to keep recycling them): I think Fry and Leela are in a state similar to how they were for most of the series; all that's changed, really, is that instead of Fry's love being unrequited, we've heard Leela say the words back. That they are not in an established, canon relationship doesn't bother me much, because the writers have given us little hints (the kiss in IAGDL, that Mile-Deep Club thing in "The Duh-Vinci Code"), and I think episodes like "The Late Philip J. Fry" will focus on the ship to an extent similar to "Rebirth"
Could not have said it better. (even if the writers choose not to settle the ship once and for all until the very last episode, which has been indicated elsewhere).
Question now that you mention it, is the Fry/Leela relationship the focus of the last episode, or is it the three-styles-of-animation episode as the finale? I've heard some sources cite that the last is the latter, others saying that it depends on production as they are both in early stages.

Ah. One would think that if he did in fact really hate it, he would have done something about it before it ran.
Well he aparently hates The Simpsons episode A Star Is Burns and that episode still went on air. Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons, reacted negatively when he heard about this episode, feeling that it was just an advertisement for The Critic, and that people would incorrectly associate the show with him. When he was unsuccessful in getting the program pulled, he had his name removed from the credits and went public with his concerns, openly criticizing James L. Brooks and saying the episode "violates the Simpsons' universe." In response, Brooks said "I am furious with Matt, [...] he's allowed his opinion, but airing this publicly in the press is going too far. [...] his behavior right now is rotten."
