I'd have to say this is a great episode that leaves the series open for further seasons

You know, I never saw it that way. You've opened my eyes, man. Respect.

Coldy, y'darn near cost me a new sarcasm detector. 
Now where'd I put those spare fuses?

Gee, sorry.
I bottle up my sarcasm until an appropriate time comes for it to explode everywhere in thick gobs of runny...

What, weren't you listening either?

Thoughts on "Devil's Hands"........Overall a flawed episode, but as a last-episode-ever it could have worked worse--that is, it could have been worse. Narrative closure is always difficult. In general the ep. overall is actually probably somewhere in my bottom 10, but the best thing about it is the ending. The last line is dead-on perfect, the way Katey says it is dead-on perfect, and the fact that they left the storyline open has proven prescient. I did not know it was the last ep. when i saw it, and i swear i actually yelled out "No!" when the end credits came on because i truly wanted more at that moment.
Now that's an ending.

Sounds like you could be talking about your sexlife!

I know that 'look' - I get it from the wife when I mention buying another motorcycle or snowmobile.  The look is enough to know that the purchase has been vetoed.

(Hey Xanfor, drop me an e-mail.)

It's not the last episode, anymore!  That's for sure.  I vowed never to watch this episode again.  I will watch this episode again the day before the Futurama DVD movie comes out.

Maybe a bit late to mention this, but this episode aired 10 years ago! Last night!

[Reply #375 on:]

Oh god. How time flies. Congratualtions Fry & Leela.

Nice! You see, I wish I paid more attention to stuff like that. Stupid ADD has me wanting to do thirty million different things at once on the Internet. Yeah, but Fry and Leela sure have come a long way since 2003, huh?

Nice Futurama milestone! I'm not sure when I first saw this episode; probably some time in 2006 or 2007. It's still one of my absolute favourites. Pretty much everything is absolutely perfect.

[Reply #378 on:]

Decided to make a little meme about it. I posted it on the facebook page "Save Futurama" last night.

This episode one of the most fantastic episodes ever. In Futurama's history, and Television History.

20/10. But I'll just say 10/10. The perfect episode in my opinion.

[Reply #379 on:]

I think this was a very interesting episode, I'm just starting to watch the show and so far I've had some very good impressions.

[Reply #380 on:]

9/10

This was a very good series finale, indeed. It probably wouldn't have felt like a finale without the opera. This episode is one of my favorite finales, second only to "Meanwhile," which I felt worked better as a finale. However, if both were just regular episodes, I would probably say I like "Hands" better.

[Reply #381 on:]

Yea, the opera really gave the episode some extra points from me, as well as others.

[Reply #382 on:]

This episode had an excellent Fry/Leela storyline, featured the entire Planet Express Crew, had some great callbacks, had great jokes, a somewhat Sci-Fi plot, an open ending, and a freakin' Opera at the end. What else could you want from a finale?

This is easily one of the best episodes of the entire series, in my opinion. 10/10, for sure. A truly great way end an excellent show.

[Reply #383 on:]

10/10 is fair enough for me. Could of had a better sci-fi plot but overall I loved it.
