Futurama: Lethal Inspection - Well, this one was an improvement over last week's, and teaming up Bender and Hermes was kind of cool, since we don't see them together all that much. They played off each other pretty well, and it was nice to see the Central Bureaucracy again, as well as the future Tijuana (which apparently won't change much in the next thousand years). Also, I guessed fairly early on who Inspector #5 was, although I had my doubts at times, which I suppose means it wasn't as predictable as it could have been. The sweet ending was also a nice touch, too. A bit reminiscent of how "Leela's Homeworld" ended, to the extent that I think they were essentially trying to do the same thing again, but still nice. The story did raise the question as to why Bender was so obsessed with being remembered back in "A Pharaoh to Remember," though, since he presumably thought he had a permanent backup at that point. It also adds to the confusion over the political situation on Earth (there's a President of Earth, but Mexico and other countries still appear to exist as independent political units, as suggested by the checkpoint in this episode) and Bender's youthful appearance (the baby Bender fit with his youthened version in "Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles," but not with the assembly scene in "Bendless Love"). Oh, well. If it weren't for discrepancies like that, what would the fans have to talk about? {g}

I honestly thought this one was the best of the season*. I have always liked Hermes, but I fell in love with him in this episode.

I liked last week's quite a bit too, though I don't know if it'll hold up as well with me. I thought of Leela's Homeworld too, but I don't mind, as that was a good one.

Also: in A Pharaoh To Remember, who wouldn't wanna be remembered by people regardless; presumably Bender knew he'd get bored with 'em and go off somewhere and/or accidentally kill 'em, so....

I'm thinking that it might end up being, too, politically, a bit more like states, or countries versus the UN. Only a world where the UN actually has power.
