    I'm pretty sure the Westside Pipeway was a reference to Metropolis.

    I thought that was a great episode for Zoidberg (the umbrella joke especially). Hermes too. On the sidelines, but awesome.

    I spotted the waterwheel bot from Bender's fantasy in Obsoletely Fabulous at the party, dancing with Malfunctioning Eddy.

    And the judge from the pet contest and Jack Nicholson in a Gorilla body. Damn, they crammed a ton of past characters into that one scene.

    The Masked Unit was there even though he "died". The king from Trisol in My Three Suns. Anglene. Nurse Ratchet was there with Dr. Perceptron. Roberto. The Fem Bot Bea Aurthur played in the Amazon episode. The Whale Biologist. The penis-face bartender from the nude beach planet was dancing with the Don Bot's wife.

    The water aliens I forget the name of that Fry was the emperor of were there, and a bunch of other characters I noticed but didn't commit to memory for reasons of WOOOOO FOOTBALL.

    The robot that was in the insane asylum petting/combing hair (who at one point replaced Fry's hair in a different episode) was there.


    I missed the first few minutes; I'm guessing there's some reason they were at that ball. It was alright. I don't quite know what makes it special for being the 100th episode aside from a party for delivering their hundreth package (only 100?).

    There's a reason their delivery company makes so little money and the insant leela took over it became a success

    Well, they did another "cram as many obscure characters in as possible" moment, although not as huge as in the final (?) movie.

    But beyond that, and IMO a huge step forward in the plot of a lot of the characters, it was just an all around excellent episode. And Hermes' comment works, as PlanEx existed since at least 2997.

    Really at this point Planet Express doesn't need to deliver packages: given the number of times they've almost destroyed the universe they could take over all of creation whenever they wanted to.

    Alternatively, you'd think there'd be a decent chunk of reward money or donations from the number of times they've saved the planet and/or universe.


    ...maybe that's off-set by the number of times they've nearly destroyed it.

    I think the issue was settled when the Emperor got to kick the crap out of Fry. I think most issues in Futurama were solved by harming Fry, either directly or indirectly.

    I think the professor says it best himself, when he says that the business is like a family, a source of cheap labor. It's also really there to be a tax shelter as a failing business because he has phat stacks of cash.

    The Saturday/Sunday marathons were helpful. They let me catch the beginning of the 100th episode (the land Titanic is better that way, at the very least).
