Futurama - 7x06 - The Butterjunk Effect

    Leela and Amy become a team in a sport that involves flapping around with butterfly wings, fighting another team.  This leads to them getting hooked on Nectar, an equivalent of steroids.  In order to help them acquire more Nectar, the team go to Kif's homeworld to harvest some.

    This was a strange episode to summarize, because I actually covered the first two thirds of the episode.  And this was the fun part of it.  The relationship between Leela and Amy is always fun.  Most of the other characters didn't have too much work to do.
    I didn't care for the last act of it.  While looking for Nectar, Fry gets attacked by a massive, male butterfly.  It sprays him with some gunk, which makes him irresistible to women who have been eating Nectar.  It also eventually turns him into a bizarre, massive butterfly.
    The problem with this episode is in the ending.  While the idea is fine, there's no elegance to the ending.  It plays out exactly like a Family Guy ending (which reminds me of the ending of the South Park episode Fat Camp).  While this type of ending can work really well, in this case, it felt like they were just being sloppy.  I'm used to getting some really good plotting out of Futurama.
