We get a new episode last Sunday and nobody is talking about it?
Well, Star Trek's interspecies boinking and overly flogged holodeck formula stories are ripe for satiric poking. And we got to see a happy smiling Cyclops tadpole at the end, sort of like the elephant bird from Horton Hatches an Egg and Filbert's kid that looks like Heifer with glasses.
So how does the the Kif biology as presented in this episode compare to the snu-snu episode?
DGH
how can Kif climb on the walls with his boots on? Wouldn't that block his suckers?
Aster Planetexpress.dk
and of course his gloves too...
There seemed to be more trek sound effects and references than normal
Pretty badly , but what the hell , it made me smile.
I also felt this episode was particularly heavy in its Star Trek jokes. No complaints here!

Of course, there were lots of ST references on the show *before* we found out it was supposed to have been banned...
Hokay... it was funny especially the bits about kif's (you just gotta write his name in miniscule letters) biology. The kif - Amy relationship was handled very nicely as well. The little details such as Amy's holocalender were excellent as usual.
What I liked most was that even though the "reset button" was pressed in regards to Amy's motherhood the idea was so logical and well developed that it didn't bug me one whit.
I hope we get to see cyclops kif jr. some day!
The inflatable bladder "skeleton" was used consistently, I guess...
Probably in season 6 :(
Anyway... another great episode! I'm so full of joy when watching new episodes. Even with the end of the series near, I'm still in good spirits and will love this show forever! Can't wait for season 3 on dvd in april/may!

Well, it wasn't one of the better ones.
Because this episode was a big yawn......
