1) Fun on a Bun 2) Free Will Hunting 3) Farewell to Arms 4) Zapp Dingbat 5) The Six Million Dollar Mon 6) Bot and the Bees 7) Thief of Baghead 8) Decision 3012
So far, upon second viewing, most episodes looked better to me.

I can honestly say that I've thoroughly enjoyed this season so far. For me, pretty much every episode (except for maybe TBE) has been really good.
Exact thoughts here.

I'm curious, as so many people seem divided on a lot of the episodes this season and the season in general. How would you rank the episodes of season 7 based on how much you enjoyed them. I don't mean necessarily a rating, just compare them against each other. For me, it's;
1) Free Will Hunting 2) Zapp Dingbat 3) The Bots and the Bees 4) Fun on a Bun 5) Decision 3012 6) A Farewell to Arms 7) The Six Million Dollar Mon 8) The Thief of Baghead 9) The Butterjunk Effect
But overall, there hasn't been an episode this season that I really detested. So far, at least.
From my perspective, so far its... 1. Fun on a Bun 2. Zapp Dingbat 3. The Butterjunk Effect 4. A Farewell to Arms 5. The Bots and the Bees 6. Free Will Hunting 7. Decision 3012 8. The Six Million Dollar Mon 9. The Thief of Baghead Of course, this is all subject to change when Near-Death Wish, 31st Century Fox, Viva Mars Vegas, and Naturama are released.

(It looks all Matrix-y, and The Matrix is one of my favourite movies. Also, lots of Farnsworth. ) So far Season 7 has been better than Season 6 in my opinion.

Great: Fun on a Bun (top 30 episode?), The Six Million Dollar Mon, A Farewell to Arms
Very good: The Bots and the Bees, Zapp Dingbat, Free-Will Hunting
Okay/forgettable: The Thief of Baghead, Election 3012 (bottom ten episode), The Butterjunk Effect
There hasn't been anything really terrible. Though, the season as a whole has felt relatively forgettable to me. Despite a few notably good outings, Fun on a Bun is maybe the one true "classic" so far in my eyes. But, I've also actually yet to watch any of these a second time, and a lot of classic episodes seemed more "average" to me the first time I saw them, including a few newer classics (like Lethal Inspection).
Overall it's been good, even if not spectacular. I'm happy with it but consider 6A to be the pinnacle of the show's return thus far, and there are maybe a couple shows on TV that have been a little stronger lately. But I still really dig it, and listing the majority of the episodes in the bad column is crazy.

I've actually come away from most episodes this season feeling pretty good; upon a rewatch, which I've done with the majority of these episodes (I shall mark them with an asterisk on the following list, as if any of you care!), I've only come to enjoy them more.
In fact, this is probably the first new-run season where I've been highly impressed by each new episode upon its initial airing, and where rewatching hasn't been necessary to fully assess each episode's worth. Whether that means that season seven is actually better than season six--or that I've simply lowered my standards for season seven in response to season six's failures--I cannot say.
In any event, though, I really have been enjoying 7A thus far, as indicated by these rankings...
10.) The Butterjunk Effect - 6/10 9.) The Bots and the Bees* - 7/10 8.) The Six Million Dollar Mon - 7/10 7.) Free Will Hunting - 7/10 6.) The Thief of Baghead* - 7/10 5.) Decision 3012* - 8/10 4.) Near-Death Wish - 8/10 3.) Zapp Dingbat* - 9/10 2.) A Farewell to Arms* - 9/10 1.) Fun on a Bun* - 10/10
Pretty much every episode this season has been average-by-Futurama's-standards (which, to me, is a 7/10), and half of them have been above average. It seems to me that these are probably the most classic-seeming episodes we've gotten since the original run (with the exception of certain season six outliers: "Lethal Inspection," "The Late Philip J. Fry," "The Prisoner of Benda," "Cold Warriors," and "Reincarnation"), and that's pretty dang cool.

I'm curious as to what the plot will be in Naturama.

And what is the premise?
We don't know the exact storyline, but it's a prody of nature documentaries with the show's characters as different animals. We saw a preview of a Professor turtle preparing to have sex with a Mom turtle. And a few of the cast as fish, and Zoidberg as a squid.

Yeah, this episode could be another Futurama Holiday Spectacular, or it could be another Reincarnation. It's too early to tell.
What if it's in the middle? Or a mixture? Just to recap, segment 1 is written by Eric Rogers (Terror at 500 Feet segment of Anthology of Interest I, The Silence of the Clamps, Zapp Dingbat), segment 2 by Michael Saikin (writing assistant on every single Season 6 episode, and production assistant on all 4 movies) and segment 3 by Neil Mukhopadhyay (production assistant on Rebirth, The Silence of the Clamps, Möbius Dick and Law and Oracle).
