It was rather episodic, for the most part, but I wouldn't say it was lacking in plot. It wasn't all sight gags and was rather cleverly written for the most part. How often does a cartoon end up getting a mathematical theorem named after it?
Was Leela being the actual mother father in the original episode? It's been a while since I saw the birthing ep.Ep 2: Children of a Lesser Bog
Okay, this was much better then last week's metarama. While it's still not as good as older episodes, this was a good episode; though for an emotional one I'd certainly consider it a weaker one overall. And that's becuase I feel like the plot beats between the emotional moments aren't strong enough; since between the candy plot that mostly goes no where and forced exposition and reminding people of 'Kif gets knocked up a notch' and kinda rushed feeling ending. But this still has a lot of really good moments, and we get our first shake up to the status quo with Axel, Mandy, and Newt. I half expected them to get poochy'd by the end, tbh; but I am glad to be wrong.
I'm kinda looking forward to next week's episode, since while its dealing with Crypto it seems to be doing so more in classic futurama style by putting a larger spin on it then just putting the issues in the futurama world like a lot of CC era episodes.
