Futurama 7x02 - Farewell to Arms

    Another episode focusing on Fry and Leela's relationship.  In this case, the problem is that every time Fry tries to do something for Leela, it winds up causing problems.  In this case, it leads to discovering a prophecy that involves Earth being destroyed.
    This episode doesn't explore anything too new.  It does have a few good laughs though.  I love seeing Nixon's head, and there's a moment of completely unexpected, and fairly dark, humor toward the end of the episode.
    The problem may have been that the show concluded the primary arc of Fry wooing Leela, and now they've gotten stuck in a rut.  They can either break them up, or they can keep them together and hope that it can work.  Honestly, they should probably develop the other characters unless a heartbreaking episode can be written.
