I dident like this episode as much as most of the others. The jokes seemed too obvious, the script was sub-mediocre and, well, I dident see Farnsworth anywhere.  But its nice to get some of those loose ends tied up, and of course its nice to see Fry and Leela together. How many of you caught the "purple" joke near the end? I guess time travel is color oriented, if you remember in Roswell that Ends Well, the two colors were Red from the supernova and blue from the metal in the microwave. . . red + blue = purple, after all that time travel. -Tom ------- AsianLightning, i believe it was "Scooty" puff puff junior and senior. Kinda interesting how the eagle on the Sr. scooter reminded me of the US airforce and the symbols they use. . . which was probably on purpose, heh.

As the Futurama episode to watch, it had the biggest disappointment potential ever - but luckily, The Why Of Fry was as great as 'previously indicated'  Possibly my new favorite episode of all time! That important guy Leela was dating could've been toned down though, or his character at least developed some more. He was only funny the two first times, then he become hopelessly predictable, which isn't good for one of the main characters of the episode. But all in all a spectacular episode: 94%!

I liked it too, especially when Fry finally has Leela's attention!

Wow. All I can say is wow. When I saw David Cohen was the sole writer, I knew it would be good, but it easily met my expectations for this long-awaited episode. Many great moments, but most importantly a very strong and interesting story. A couple of those "how is Fry gonna get out of *this*?" moments.

Oh my god.....What do i even say? God, how can i possibly review this? It made my insides happy in ways i don't even understand! i can't believe they had this planned out in so much detail even back when the show first started. The history all comes together so flawlessly. And i loved the whole "But it was my life." scene. It was so touching and Nibbler really did look sorry about having to do it. And of course the shipper within me melted in happiness at the Fry/Leela interaction and i don't just mean that amazing final scene but also the one where Nibbler asks "is there anything in the future worth saving?" and Fry imediately says Leela. Not Bender, not his job or his friends, but Leela. And did you hear the absolute awe in his voice when he asked Nibbler if he actually thought he had a chance with her? they should have saved this ep and aired it right before Devil's hands, just for the full shipper effect. Oh my God i love this ep so much. Words can't even express. i am absolutely floored. After it was over i just sat on my bed for like 5 minutes before my brain would start processing stuff again. My joy can only be expressed in smilies and even these don't convey it enough.

I cought the ep but it was 7:10 so I missed some because I didnt double check my watch to make sure it was right when I reset it this morning, I hate daylights savings, any way I cought the show at the part where fry was setting up that bomb. Though after all that n after watching Nibbler help him into the ice box. Did anyone notice Nibbler reffering to Leela as the "other" he said ex words "she must be the other" indicating perhaps she too in a later ep has to make some kind of important sacrifice for the universe. This got me thinking perhaps she dies with Fry in the last ep making this sacrafice.

This was an...interesting...episode. I'm not quite sure how I can review this, because it's so unlike previous episodes. I'm not really a shipper, nor was I huge on "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid," but I liked this.
It tied up a few loose ends that we'd all be wondering about, yet kinda knew already. Because of PEEL, we all saw Nibbler's shadow (and later, Fry's shadow), underneath the table at the Cryogenics Lab. We all saw that coming. Including "Roswell.." in the Futurama mythology was completely unexpected. In the good sense.
Funny bits: the orphans, Elzar, Fry and Nibbler meeting the elders, and Chaz (the 1st two times).
Quotes: Elzar: "Table for two? Step this way." Chaz: "I'm afraid we don't have a reservation, but, as you can see, I'm the mayor's aide! Table for two, please!" Elzar: "Okay, then..."
Fry: "Oh, Nibbler. At least I'm important to you, even if it's only because I clean up your poop." Nibbler: "The poop eradication is but one aspect of your importance!" Fry: (screams) "Did you just talk?" Nibbler: "Indeed. And I have other amazing powers as well." Fry: "Like what?" (Nibbler jumps up and hits Fry with a blackjack.)

I must say i loved this episode!! It was awesome all the way through. I didnt think the jokes were laugh out loud funny, but they were very clever in my opinon. I absolutly LOVED the end. I had a smile on my face for about 10 mins just thinking about it. Then I watched the Episode again. This is my new favorite episode, Replacing Love & Rocket.

Originally posted by The Baz: I'm torn. It wasn't a terrible episode but it wasn't great story wise.
Why did Fry cry and complain so much about having his life postponed for 1000 years when he made it so clear he was happier in the year 3000 not 2000? Rather selfish on his part and that caught me off guard. He contemplates not freezing himself (rendering him to not live, and the universe to be destroyed in 3003) but would only change his mind if he knew he had a chance with Leela?
Sheesh. Doesn't seem much of a noble character. Why would he complain about it? He found out it wasn't an accident like he thought for three years. He said himself too, he didn't like being used. He would have rather been asked. Also he has to have some reason to sacarifice his life so others may live and until he found out the truth of how he came to the future, he was willing to do just that. Would you freeze yourself knowing you would be nothing, but a loser for all time just to save a world that could give a damn? Now maybe I wrote this in vain, I just wanted to say something about it, but kudos to your own opinion.

Originally posted by winna: Really good episode, although I like everyone else kind of knew what was going to happen. I didn't expect the reference to Roswell That Ends Well, though "yeah I did the nasty in the pasty".... So that's what happens when you're your own grandpa. I really liked this episode, if it's the last of "Season 5" then at least I had 2 really good episodes at the end of the season. I think "if" they made new episode then they could still elaborate off of this episode. Like for one, what did Fry and Nibbler do after Fry pushed himself into the freezer, and the thing about Leela being the "other". I also heard on a commentary on my DVDs that there was something secret about how the building Fry was in didn't get destroyed (from the first ep). Nothin more to say, really good episode 5/5, 10/10 etc....! Ok correct me if Im wrong or confuzed here but didnt they make more eps after this one? Im just asking because u make it sound as if it was the last one ever made when u say "if" they made a new ep. If this is the last one then I think they ended the story a little too soon, so to speak.
