Futurama - Into the Wild Green Yonder

Perhaps the final Futurama story ever, but I hope not. The series is far better than The Simpsons, it's got a much more open formart, much more interesting characters and better vocal talent too (imo). It's such a shame to see how it got cancelled so suddenly, then brought back again and now it faces another uncertain future. The story is a pretty interesting one with lots of small subplots all about ecology and preserving habititats for endangered species as well as a larger story about good and evil and tinfoil hats. There's a few nods to past stories, the bugaloo one with the Martians comes immediatly, and the pilot with the career chips. All in all it's a good episode to end on and yet leaves you wanting more, more, more...

9/10
