Where's my thesaurus? How many ways can I say brilliant? This episode wrapped up 13 years of lost heartbreak and did it convincingly. And still let Fry and Leela experience it a second time (as if they needed a second chance).

Oh wait, there's that thesaurus... Let's look at the word "superb"...

I was surprised, but I actually shed a tear or two when it was all over. This show has been there when I was in a terrible job situation, and it was there for the passing of both of my parents. In short, it gave me something happy to think about during some of the hardest times of my life. For four years I have poured my energies and abilities into this thing, and I've grown as both an artist and a writer. Hell, I barely worked with color before I started doing these cartoons.

I thought this episode was very clever, and very well written. Bravo.

Y'know what's amazing? They had no real idea that this would be the show's last episode:
