I was sitting in my room bored at 6:20 hoping that Simpsons/Futurma would be on earlier. Then I thought maybe I could watch KOTH to pass the time so I turned on the TV, changed the channel to FOX and low and behold Futurama was on! This is a bad thing since it meant I forgot the new time and missed 2/3rds of the episode. I turned off the TV, so I could see the whole thing when I download it next week, this lasted aproxomently 2 seconds, I quickly switched it on and watched the rest of the episode. I got the basic plot Fry must fight Zoidburg ala Star Trek over a female of Zoidburg's species. It was very funny, I think I laughed for about a minute after the "national anthem" and missed a bunch of jokes, also I saw the goriest thing I have ever seen in American animation. It was a great last third of an episode with some great jokes and a fun sense of Science Fiction. Grade for act 3 an A. Next week we take one of the stand bys for sci-fi comedy, the head transplant. "oh I hate having two heads!"
References Star Trek: Amazingly obvious I don't know why I even wrote this down.
Akira: the way Fry's arm bleed after Zoidburg sliced it off was very similar to Tetsuo's after it was blasted off by SOL (just watched the un-edited version for the first time, WOW was that gory, I also understood the plot finally)
Anti-Nit Zoidburg nor his species are Lobsters, so they have brains in places and can do things that lobsters can't do, like walk sideways.
