fullack. This one had a really nice (though somehow weird) story line
AND great humour. I especially liked the story, great work. Kinda
could be my favourite for now :)

at the same time sweet, sentimental and romantic. A virtually perfect

It was a truly great episode. Knowing the end of the series is coming,
episodes like this make me glad to have known this fabulous show.
Thank you David & Matt!!

into a world of weird, wild surrealism and the series tends to do that
well. It actually had me wondering if Fry really died and that this was
meant to be the last episode, shown prematurely.
And I'm glad this episode got the business with the space bees more of
less out of the way in the first 10 minutes instead of continuing it
throughout the entire show. That gigantic hive with all those bees
hovering around the entrance creeped me out big time...and the crew
actually (gulp!) had to go in there. I can't ever sit through "Song Of
The South" with all those beehive shots they thrust at the audience (I'd
seen occasional bits and pieces of it on a couple of Disney-produced
shows), and I remember actually letting out a scream in a theatre where
"Extremities" with Farrah Fawcett was playing when a shot of a big wasp
nest filled the screen without warning.
Heck, there used to be a TV commercial between 1969 and 1971 for Black
Flag insecticide that opened with a close up shot of a hornet's nest
encased in a cage that an announcer sprayed with the stuff, then an hour
later he could pick it up with his bare hands. Never knew when it would
turn up--scary.

I thought the same thing. "Hell, if they're dragging out THIS many
meta-references, it may very well be for real."
You know, showing this and 'The Why of Fry' only seems to be rubbing
salt in the wound.

A little hint : never read (or watch the miniseries) of 'The Shining'
then.

The animation in the Sting was of stunningly high quality. I felt
this episode had the best animation in the entire series. The Why of
Fry was a very close second in animation quality.

I won't be too upset about the show ending as long as they bring some
nice closure to everything. Of course, any ending that does NOT
involve Fry and Leela living happily ever after together will be
unacceptable. :)
My own take on The Sting: It's definitely my new favorite Fry/Leela
episode. It was everything I love about the show. It was poignant,
touching, romantic, even sad at times, but still managed to be very
funny. And when I noticed (2nd viewing) that little candy heart from
the Love and Rockets episode in her "Memories of Fry" box, it kinda
choked me up.

You may want to check out Philip K. Dick's _Ubik_ (1969) then, and maybe
_Eye in the Sky_ (1955, not based on the APP song) (spoilers below).

-- Christopher Heckman
Spoiler coming up ...
I may have some of the details wrong, but the general plot goes like:
In _Ubik_, a team of people goes on some kind of secret mission, and
they all get killed (although you don't find this out until the end).
The group, minus the leader, experiences a group hallucination that
the leader is dead. However, the leader keeps sending "reminders" that
he isn't really dead, such as making his face appear on their money.
There are also indications that the team's time is running out, such
as stale cigarettes and an out-of-date phonebook. Eventually, the team
rescues the leader and they go home. The leader pulls out some money
a day or so later and notices one of the teammember's picture on the
money.
_Eye in the Sky_ also involves group hallucination, with a few twists
as well: A group of people awakens in the world according to one of
the groupmembers, where superstition and magic(k) influence reality
more than physical laws.

I have to agree with most of the other people here: "The Sting" is arguably
"Futurama's" best episode so far. It was so beautifully balanced. It had
an excellent science fiction foundation, giving us an exciting hive chase,
showing us inventive dream sequences, and making us question whether what we
were seeing was real or not. (I've seen other shows that had broadly the
same plot, but "The Sting" was different enough not to seem derivative.) On
the other hand, it was so touching to watch Fry's devotion to Leela.
Watching it a second time, I noticed that some of Fry's dialogue seemed to
be, word for word, something he might say to a coma victim he was trying to
will back to waking reality. In all, a superior episode from a series that
itself set the bar pretty high. Up until recently, my opinion was that the
very best episodes of "The Simpsons" edged the best "Futurama" shows, but
this episode and the one where Bender becomes God to a mini-race of people
rank right up there with MG's other show.
DYN: Fry's jet-pack was on upside-down. Okay, that was pretty obvious when
he fired it, but the interesting thing is, it was *consistently* drawn
upside-down right from the start.

Yeah, I noticed that on a second viewing. I saw a lot of things on
subsequent viewings that I missed. I didn't see the candy heart in
her Memories of Fry box the first time. That was very touching. And
others probably caught this but I missed it, when Leela woke up in the
hospital, Fry's jacket was draped around her shoulders. I guess
that's why she dreamt about it. Very sweet.

seen. It ranks up high in the weepy episodes, and it managed to be sad
but comical at the same time, which is one reason why I love the show.
It had brilliant writing and wonderful colour and animation. It's
episodes like this which make me sad to see the show go.

her mom and dad are mutants. That last scene with the song playing, showing
how her parents had always been there (leaving cookies, birthday presents,
stopping her from falling down the orphanarium stairs as a baby), is totally
awesome as well. Amen! I, too, am so glad I got to know this show. Bender
will forever be an important part of my personality.

He was, but even if he wasn't, you can't blame him. It was Leela's dream,
after all.
