I'm not bothered AT ALL about making these threads anymore, but I got a free pass, and I'm bored, so I might as well use it. Next week just open the episode thread any time you want 
Plus, I want to piss all of you off.Edit: don't forget to review on CGEF!

Episode hasn't aired yet, so not really anything to discuss here yet. All you guys have is speculation. Thread shouldn't even be open for that matter... Just close the poll until the episode airs.
As long as a mod can undo it for me, I will.
This is one of the exact reasons why you shouldn't have opened this thread hours in advance... There are many more, and we've discussed them ad infinium, but this is you admitting it.

I liked the killing-Farnsworth montage, and the Murderator was pretty hilarious (that sentence makes me sound like a sociopath, but no matter). But Farnsworth becoming a yeti? Jesus. That was taking things a bit too far. The Mom/Zoidberg interaction was interesting, though, and the ending was pretty sweet, with Farnsworth and Zoidberg scuttling off into the sunset dusk.
But overall? This episode just seemed off to me. Not unfunny, and not even so oddly-paced after all...but just kind of strange. The tone was weird, and the playing-up of Zoidberg and Farnsworth's relationship seemed out-of-the-blue. I usually love flashback episodes, and the flashbacks themselves in this episode didn't disappoint. But the story's execution was screwy, and that prevents me from rating it too highly.
6/10 for now, but that may change after a second viewing.

"Well-executed". I see what you did there.
...If anything, it was not well-executed, since no one died...

For some reason I didn't like it at all=/ 3/10. Damn, it was absolutely horrible. I hate it. This episode - the embodiment of everything I hate.

Am I the only one who recognized that the "Tritonian yeti" was the Mugato, from Star Trek? Really?
You beat me to it.  After the first act, I wasn't sure where this episode was going. Part flashback, part "what color can we make Fry now?" There also used to be a doll which was a person on a stand, and the arms and legs were segmented, with string connecting them. When you pushed on the underside of the stand, the tension loosened up, and the doll flopped over. (Sorry, I couldn't find a picture online.) This is what the scene with Leela reminded me of. "Go Johnny Go" was of course from the song "Johnny B. Goode". "Great Little Caeser's Ghost" is based on Perry White's exclamation and the pizza fast-food chain. Amy listing the symptoms of hypermalaria, and the professor acting them out, reminded me of a similar scene in "Airplane!" Fry proves his ignorance, which harkens back to his line "I've NOT heard of them" (about the monks in G). Zoidberg didn't have hair this time. I guess none of us imagined him that way. 8-) It looked like the episode had promise, but somehow didn't quite deliver it after the first act.

Though not typical Futurama, I consider this episode somewhere between solid and good.
- Until now, consequences for Zoidberg's bad skill as a doctor was one of the most obvious subplots left unexplored. - The cartoon deseases were rather fitting. After all, Zoidberg already caused some serious mess medically. Considering that experience, it's okay that something really, really exaggerated, never-seen-before must happen for the rest to take action against him. - Murderator was great:) - The only "bigger" flaw I found in this one: The rest of Planet express acted too much of a group, and not as individuals. I seemed to me any of their dialoge lines could have been exchanged and delivered by any of that group. (What Leela said could have been said by Bender, or Fry, or Hermes, etc... but there were hardly any phrases that could have been delivered ONLY by Fry, or ONLY by Leela, etc... ). It was not really a critical aspect of the story...but...well...I just did noticed.
All in all, I would rate the story somewhere between 6 and 7.

- Until now, consequences for Zoidberg's bad skill as a doctor was one of the most obvious subplots left unexplored. I completely agree, and I have always wanted them to explore Zoidberg's medical background etc. This was the best Zoidberg-heavy episode yet. It was great to see him in a good light, and his relationship with the professor was hilarious. Hard to judge, but 8/10
