After destroying the [[DOOP]] headquarters, [[Zapp Brannigan]] is forced to resign his duties from the [[DOOP Army]]. In dismay, he joins [[Planet Express]] and instigates a mutiny to take over [[the ship]] in order to destroy his arch enemies, the [[neutral people]].<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
{{plot-update}}<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "Get him, boys!" ===<br />
[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] play a futuristic version of chess with holograms. Fry takes one of Bender's pieces and, in response, Bender orders his holograms to jump on and beat up Fry, to which Fry replies "Good move".<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "DOOP? What's that?" ===<br />
The [[Planet Express]] crew are sent to deliver the ceremonial oversized scissors to the grand opening of the new [[Democratic Order of Planets (DOOP)|DOOP]] Headquarters, in orbit around the [[The Neutral Planet|Neutral Planet]]. [[Zapp Brannigan]], there to perform the ribbon cutting, falsly arrests Leela for being involved in a neutral plot to kill the yarn people of [[Nylar 4]] with the scissors designated to cut the ribbon. From the ship he attemps to use the [[Nimbus]]' laser to cut the ribbon, despite [[Kif]]'s warning that that may not be wise. Brushing him off by saying he doesn't need his "I-don't-think-that's-wise" attitude, Zapp uses the laser anyway, cutting the ribbon as well as accidentally blowing up the DOOP's headquarters with it. During Zapp's court martial (taking place inside the [[Old DOOP Headquarters]]), [[Glab|the judge]] acknowledges that although the evidence against Zapp is strong, his years of service (as well as the incompetence of the [[Hyper-Chicken|hilbilly prosecutor]] will allow the charges to be dropped. Upon hearing this, [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] decides to testify against Zapp. Despite Zapp's attempts to discredit her as a witness by referencing their past sexual affair, the jury finds Zapp guilty. As a result, he is discharged from [[Democratic Order of Planets (DOOP)|DOOP]]. In his closing statement, Zapp unjustly places the blame on his assistant, [[Kif Kroker]], and it results in Kif being discharged from the DOOP as well.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Some breaking occurred, the dolly was involved, that's about all we know." ===<br />
Now unemployed, Zapp and Kif wander around the [[New New York|city]] looking for a way to survive as poor civilians; some of their jobs involved selling themselves and Kif dancing for money. Having nowhere to turn to, he beseeches help from Leela (the only woman who ever loved him physically) at [[Planet Express]]. As she's about to slam the door on him, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] comes to the door to see whom Leela is talking to. Recognizing, "that disgraced starship captain," he invites both him and Kif inside and employs them, hoping that having them around will distract people from the company's horrendous safety record. The crew is sent off to deliver 40 pillows to the planet [[Stumbos 4]], a planet with extremely high gravity. Despite her explicit instructions to deliver each pillow one at a time, Fry, Bender, and [[Zapp Brannigan|Zapp]] ignore her directions and load all the pillows at once, breaking the Hover Dolly. As punishment, Leela makes them hand-deliver the pillows which, under [[Stumbos 4]]'s gravity, weigh 150lbs (70kg) each. Exhausted by the work and pelted by the high gravity rain, Fry and Bender express open resentment and lament angrily how Leela always makes them work. [[Zapp]] uses this opportunity to recruit Fry and Bender, as mutineers, promising that as a captain, he would be much easier on them. Meanwhile on the [[Planet Express ship]], [[Kif Kroker|Kif]] tells Leela horrible stories about his old job serving under Zapp (which annoys Leela very much) and expresses his happiness over no longer having to serve Zapp. At that moment, Zapp, Bender and Fry, march in declaring mutiny, which saddens Kif again and gets Leela imprisioned.<br />
<br />
=== Act IV: "So he's about to kill us?" ===<br />
Now in command of the [[Planet Express Ship]], Zapp Brannigan goes to his sworn enemy's planet the [[Neutral Planet]] and plans to send them a message of peace and then [[Planet Express suicide attack on Neutropolis|crash the Ship into the capital city, causing a hellish fire storm in which no living thing could escape]], while conveniently ejecting from the ship in time using the only spacesuit on board. Realizing their fate, Fry and Bender run to Leela and beg her to be their captain again. They rush to the control room to find Zapp already in the suit preparing to eject, asking Kif to come along with him. Kif refuses, saying he'd rather stay with Leela, which prompts Leela to shove him inside a children's spacesuit and force him to go along with Zapp, as she cannot stand him. After they leave, Leela takes the wheel again, only to find that Zapp had apparently disabled the controls. Promising their full obedience from then on, Fry and Bender rush to load the remaining [[Dark Matter]] into the left engine, as per Leela's instructions. This causes only half the engine to burn fuel, making the ship turn in a major arc that spares everyone. At the Old DOOP Headquarters, Zapp tells the court a fabricated version of the incident, stating that while Leela panicked (perhaps distracted by female troubles), his quick thinking allowed to do whatever he did to save the day. When [[Glab|the judge]] asks Leela if Zapp's story is true, Leela almost says no, but quickly agrees to it all after [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] reminds her that by denying the story, he will get to keep [[Zapp Brannigan]] as an employee. With his story confirmed, Zapp's rank and parking privileges are restored. <br />
At the [[Planet Express Headquarters]], Fry tells Leela that although she's mean, she's still the best captain ever. Leela is touched, to which [[Bender]] uses the opportunity to ask for time off. Leela starts to relent, but then the Professor declares there will be no time off, leading Bender and Fry to grumble, and Leela to suggest mutiny.<br />

== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Although it has been mentioned before this is [[DOOP]]'s first appearance.<br />
*This is one of only three episodes in which [[Dr. Zoidberg]] didn't appear, the others being "[[Space Pilot 3000]]" and "[[Mars University]]".<br />
*By disabling the ship's controls, Zapp is presumably trying to murder Fry, Leela and Bender.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*The sequence between Zapp's and Kif's court martial and subsequent hiring by Planet Express is a parody of the movie ''{{w|Midnight Cowboy}}''.<br />
*At the start of the episode, Fry and Bender can be seen playing {{sw|Dejarik}}, a game played by [[R2-D2]] and {{sw|Chewbacca}} in ''{{sw|Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope}}''.<br />

*[[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] mentions the ''[[Star Trek]]'' program. However, ''Star Trek'' has been banned ([[Where No Fan Has Gone Before|4ACV11]]), so he shouldn't have done it. But this continuity error appears in many other episodes.<br />
**Hermes has shown numerous times that he does not care about breaking the law and, since [[Planet Express]] is [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|privately]] owned, the [[New New York Police Department|Police]] wouldn't know to interfere unless someone at the company told them to.<br />
**Could also have something to do with the fact that Hermes was using it to explain something. The problem could arise from wanting to watch it or when one references watching it.<br />
*The [[Robot Elders|Robot Elder]] in the jury talks with humanoid lip sync instead of a flashing mouth.<br />
**He could have just got an upgrade.<br />
*In one of the shots where [[Zapp Brannigan|Zapp]] is cross-examining [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], the [[Hyper-Chicken]] is ''all'' pale blue.<br />
*The hovering platform that [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] use to clean the [[Planet Express ship|ship]] gets cut off at the bottom when it reaches the highest point of its oscillating animation. This happens in two different angles.<br />
*When [[Kif Kroker|Kif]] gets forced into the children's space suit, as Leela puts the helmet on him, the suit has a white collar matching the helmet. However, when the view cuts to Bender, Leela, Kif, and Zapp, the suit collar is smaller and pink.<br />
*In "[[When Aliens Attack]]", Zapp tells Bender that, when he is in charge, all missions are suicide missions, but they are shocked when the plan to kill the neutral president is going to kill them.<br />
**Bender might not have taken that seriously.<br />
*Zapp uses the word "ask", even though it has been replaced by "aks".{{et|2ACV04}}<br />
**However, he's also been known to mispronounce other words as well, so this may not be an error as much as it is Zapp's speech(?) impediment.<br />
*Since Stumbos 4's intense gravity greatly intensifies the weight of any object, Leela's wristlojakimater should have prevented her from raising her arm due to the weight.<br />

The '''gold violin''' is a violin that the [[Robot Devil]] owns. It is made of solid gold. Because of the [[Fairness in Hell Act of 2275]], if anyone that goes to [[Robot Hell]] can best the Robot Devil in a fiddle contest, they can win this violin {{et|1ACV09}}. If they lose, they win only a smaller silver one. He challenged Fry and Leela to a fiddle contest for Bender's soul. However, Leela just beat him over the head with it three times, causing him to squeal like a little girl every time and denting the violin with every hit. As the trio attempted to flee Robot Hell, two devils started closing the exit. Leela urged Bender to hurry. He responded by telling her to drop the "stupid gold violin", which was weighing them down. Leela did so, enabling them to escape, with the violin striking the Robot Devil in the head once again.<br />

The '''United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland''', commonly referred to as the '''United Kingdom''' ('''UK''') or '''Britain''', is a country in Western [[Europe]]. It consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and its capital city is London. Little is known about the nation in the [[31st century]], but it was a participant in the [[3004]] [[3004 Earth Olympiad|Earth Olympiad]] {{er|4ACV13}} and it is a member of the [[United Nations]]. {{er|3ACV18}}<br />
<br />
In an alternate timeline, Great Britain had won the [[American Revolutionary War]] in [[1775]] and rules all of [[North America]] (now called [[West Britannia]]) in the 31st century. {{er|6ACV23}}<br />

'''Linda van Schoonhoven''' is a female [[Humans|human]], probably originating from [[Los Angeles]], [[United States of America|USA]], [[Earth]]. She is a widely known [[television]] presenter, and co-hosts several shows on [[Channel √2]], most prominently, [[Channel √2 News|the news]], with [[Morbo]]. Linda frequently laughs at very serious threats from him, and often describes news in a cheery way no matter how tragic it is, examples include the imminent destruction of [[New New York]] by a [[giant ball of garbage]] {{et|1ACV08}} and a [[dark matter]] oil spill on [[Pluto]] {{et|3ACV05}}. She also laughed at and commented on the death of a news reporter in a hovercopter crash. She is always seen with blonde hair and a futuristic pink dress. She is an alcoholic, and without alcohol is unable to cope with [[Linda van Schoonhoven's children|her children]], her newscasting and life in general {{et|6ACV17}}.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
In [[3008]], Linda van Schoonhoven unintentionally mated with [[Yivo|a planet-sized monster]] ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs|TBWABB]]), and, two years later, became one of the [[Feministas]], along with [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and [[Amy Wong|Amy]] ([[Into the Wild Green Yonder|ITWGY]]). This was the first time she interacted with the [[:Category:Primary characters|primary characters]].<br />
<br />
In [[3010]], she was seen in a recorded video shown in the [[V-GINY]] {{et|6ACV02}}, and covered the passing of [[Proposition ∞]] and consequent legalization of [[Robosexuality|robosexual]] marriage {{et|6ACV04}}, as well as the visit of [[Robo-Hungary|Robo-Hungarian]] [[Emperor Nikolai]] to New New York {{et|6ACV10}}.<br />
<br />
In [[3011]], it was revealed that she was an alcoholic and mother , when the millions of tiny [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Benders]] stole all booze and she couldn't handle her newscasting sober {{et|6ACV17}}.<br />

<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Linda is one of the few non-primary characters who appear in every [[film]].<br />
*Her last name, which is revealed in a [[List of deleted scenes#Into the Wild Green Yonder|deleted scene]] of ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'', is Dutch.<br />
*In several episodes, she newscasts alone. According to the [[Episode Commentary Listing|commentaries]], this is because the writers leave [[Morbo]] out of episodes that have a large focus on aliens, such as {{H. G. Blob}} or [[Lrrr]].<br />
*When she is hot or in a panic, her make-up and eyeliner is smeared.<br />
*She appears to be slightly ditsy, as she stated that windmills might keep turtles cool, for which she was yelled at by Morbo, despite said windmills moving very slowly and unlikely to create any kind of breeze {{et|4ACV08}}.<br />
*She was once terrified by Morbo's exposed torso, screaming hysterically on live TV.<br />

'''Linda's children''' were mentioned in a [[Channel √2 News]] broadcast during the time when the [[Bender duplicates]] consumed all the alcohol on [[Earth]]. [[Morbo]] stated that consequences due to the drought were minimal except among the most hardened of alcoholics. {{er|6ACV17}} He turned the report to {{Linda}}, who was jittery from withdrawal and screamed that she could no longer face her children.<br />
<br />
== Additional info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
* Given that Linda claims she cannot face her children without alcohol, it's possible that she imbibes because her children are brats, or perhaps she doesn't want her children to see her in alcohol withdrawal. This is understandable, as she is a complete emotional wreck if sober.<br />

'''Linda van Schoonhoven''' is a female [[Humans|human]], probably originating from [[Los Angeles]], [[United States of America|USA]], [[Earth]]. She is a widely known [[television]] presenter, and co-hosts several shows on [[Channel √2]], most prominently, [[Channel √2 News|the news]], with [[Morbo]]. Linda frequently laughs at very serious threats from him, and often describes news in a cheery way no matter how tragic it is, examples include the imminent destruction of [[New New York]] by a [[giant ball of garbage]] {{et|1ACV08}} and a [[dark matter]] oil spill on [[Pluto]] {{et|3ACV05}}. She is always seen with blonde hair and a futuristic pink dress. She is an alcoholic, and without alcohol is unable to cope with [[Linda van Schoonhoven's children|her children]], her newscasting and life in general {{et|6ACV17}}.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
In [[3008]], Linda van Schoonhoven unintentionally mated with [[Yivo|a planet-sized monster]] ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs|TBWABB]]), and, two years later, became one of the [[Feministas]], along with [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and [[Amy Wong|Amy]] ([[Into the Wild Green Yonder|ITWGY]]). This was the first time she interacted with the [[:Category:Primary characters|primary characters]].<br />
<br />
In [[3010]], she was seen in a recorded video shown in the [[V-GINY]] {{et|6ACV02}}, and covered the passing of [[Proposition ∞]] and consequent legalization of [[Robosexuality|robosexual]] marriage {{et|6ACV04}}, as well as the visit of [[Robo-Hungary|Robo-Hungarian]] [[Emperor Nikolai]] to New New York {{et|6ACV10}}.<br />
<br />
In [[3011]], it was revealed that she was an alcoholic and mother , when the millions of tiny [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Benders]] stole all booze and she couldn't handle her newscasting sober {{et|6ACV17}}.<br />

== Character Description ==<br />
=== Family ===<br />
* [[Yivo]], ex-spouse ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs|TBWABB]]).<br />
* [[Linda van Schoonhoven's children|Children]] {{et|6ACV17}}.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Linda is one of the few non-primary characters who appear in every [[film]].<br />
*Her last name, which is revealed in a [[List of deleted scenes#Into the Wild Green Yonder|deleted scene]] of ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'', is Dutch.<br />
*In several episodes, she newscasts alone. According to the [[Episode Commentary Listing|commentaries]], this is because the writers leave [[Morbo]] out of episodes that have a large focus on aliens, such as {{H. G. Blob}} or [[Lrrr]].<br />
*When she is hot or in a panic, her make-up and eyeliner is smeared.<br />
*She appears to be slightly ditsy, as she stated that windmills might keep turtles cool, for which she was yelled at by Morbo, despite said windmills moving very slowly and unlikely to create any kind of breeze {{et|4ACV08}}.<br />

'''Morbo''' the Annihilator is one of the [[Morbo's species|little known species of yellow-eyed aliens with gigantic heads]], the husband of [[Fawn]], and the father of her numerous belligerent offspring. He is also a widely known [[television]] presenter. Morbo started as a reporter in [[Los Angeles]], and now co-hosts several shows on [[Channel √2]], most prominently, [[Channel √2 News|the news]], with [[Linda van Schoonhoven]], with whom he maintains [[#Relationship with Linda|a relationship]] that is at least odd.<br />
<br />
A violent [[List of alien species|alien]] and a good friend of [[Richard Nixon's head|President Richard Nixon]], he is also obsessed with taking over [[Earth]], mentioning it very frequently. Apparently, he is the scout of an impending [[:Category:Alien Invasions of Earth|alien invasion]], although it is possible that his evil is just an act used to increase ratings. Morbo always refers to himself in the third person, and his exposed torso is [[A Taste of Freedom|terrifying]] beyond imagination.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
Together with [[Fawn|his wife]], he attended the party in the [[Museum of Natural History]] following the victory of [[Earthicans]] to [[Spiderians]],{{er|4ACV16}} the opera [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] wrote,{{er|4ACV18}} and the [[Violet Dwarf Star Implosion]] ceremomy.{{er|ItWGY}}<br />
<br />
In [[3010]], Morbo the Annihillator was seen in a recorded video shown in the [[V-GINY]],{{er|6ACV02}} announced the first known ad for the [[eyePhone]],{{er|6ACV03}} covered the passing of [[Proposition ∞]] and consequent legalization of [[Robosexuality|robosexual]] marriage,{{er|6ACV04}} hosted the ''[[Who Dares to Be a Millionaire?]]'' game show,{{er|6ACV05}} and announced ''[[Doom]]'' at 11.{{er|6ACV10}} He also attended the [[Annual Astor Endowment Fundraiser#3010 Edition|Annual Astor Endowment Fundraiser]].{{er|6ACV12}}<br />

<br />
== Relationship with Linda ==<br />
He seems to treat [[Linda van Schoonhoven|Linda]] with contempt, the same way he would treat any other Human. However, [[List of deleted scenes#Into the Wild Green Yonder|a deleted scene]] of ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'' shows that he was visibly upset that she was no longer around, and violently shook the camera, which could imply that he cares for her to a degree. He also comforted her when she broke down in tears due to suffering from alcohol withdrawl.<br />

'''Betsy''' is a [[Buggalo]] owned by [[Amy Wong]] and the [[Wong Family]]. Amy found her and raised her from a larvae that ate one of Amy's sweaters. When the [[Native Martians]] kidnap all of the Wongs' buggalo in "[[Where the Buggalo Roam]]", Betsy remains safe because she was hiding in Amy's hamper at the time. When Amy is kidnapped, [[Kif]] rescues her by flying Betsy, an ability that no one else had except for the martians. She is very fond of Amy, affectionately licking her on the cheek, and becomes fond of Kif as well, even following him miles from the Wong ranch.<br />

'''Osiris 4''' is a desert planet orbiting a binary system. It has a culture similar to that of ancient [[Egypt]], because the two races were apparently in brief contact when the Egyptians visited [[Osirians]] thousands of years ago. The upper classes and [[Osirian High Priest|High Priest]] live lazily while numerous slaves work building numerous large monuments and other structures. The planet was briefly ruled by [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] following the death of Pharaoh [[Hamenthotep]]. Most who visit the planet never want to leave, though that is because they have no choice as they are enslaved the moment their ship touches down. <br />

*The resemblance between Egypt and Osiris 4 is explained by one of the aliens stating they learned much from the Egyptians, among which space traveling. This is a reference to the many theories stating that Egyptians and other ancient cultures might have learned from aliens.<br />
*It vaguely resembles Sebek from {{w|Fury³}}. The planet resembles Ancient Egypt due to the pyramids, rivers and wide open desert.<br />

The '''old man''' apparently spent most of his life queuing in front of the [[Central Bureaucracy]]. In [[3001]], he was still waiting for his birth certificate {{et|2ACV11}}. Several years later, in [[3010]], he finished his waiting and asked for a death certificate, ironically dying from an apparent heart attack immediately afterwards and, even more ironically, at the wrong building. His death did not cause any major reaction, as the woman serving him calmly stated that Building C handled death certificates and the man behind him merely stepped over his corpse for his serving. {{et|6ACV06}}.<br />

<br />
The '''Central Bureaucracy''' is the main headquarters of the organization of the same name. It is located in [[New New York]], [[Earth]], and was first established in [[2159]]. Many [[bureaucrats]] work within the building, and it seems that each one of them handles financial, legal, and other business matters throughout the city.<br />
<br />
Bureaucrats at the Central Bureaucracy use a numerical ranking system, where lower numbers outrank higher ones. It is unclear whether more than one bureaucrat is allowed to have the same number, or if promotions are only through vacancies or displacements. For example, going up a rank forces the former owner of the number to go down a rank. [[Number 1.0]] is the highest rank seen, though the decimal place implies that there may be ranks above his or that the higher ranks (9 or higher) go in decimals rather then whole numbers. There is also a special grade for one-hour bureaucrats, such as [[Turanga Leela]], who covered for [[Hermes Conrad]] in [[3010]], the Li'l Bureaucrat grade.<br />
<br />
The Central Bureaucracy Building is located in enormous, and appears to be a cement-grey, windowless perfect cube. Only two entrances are shown: the public entrance and a private entrance the [[Planet Express]] crew entered by lying to a bureaucrat. The building is labyrinthine, to the point where most bureaucrats require a [[Slowmobile]] to move about the facility efficiently and trying to find even a washroom can cause some people to go completely insane, including Professor Farnsworth.<br />
<br />
Employees communicate by pneumatic tubes, possibly ramifications of the [[Tube Transport System]], which run not only throughout the complex, but have terminals at their assigned businesses, such as the [[Planet Express headquarters]]. At the center of the building is the master in-pile, a room known as the '''Central Filing''', where most incoming messages are deposited for later sorting. The bureaucracy is so inefficient that the pile has been backed up for ages, leaving a mountainous pile of messages. <br />

<br />
The '''''Nimbus''''' (registry BP-[[1729]]) is the intergalactic flagship of the [[Democratic Order of Planets|DOOP]] fleet, which docks at the [[South Street Spaceport]]. In command of this impressive vessel is the equally impressive 25-Star-General [[Zapp Brannigan]]. This massive ship has enough firepower to blow up a large space-station, {{er|2ACV02}} and is capable of entering a planet's atmosphere to deploy troops to the surface. {{er|2ACV17}} The ''Nimbus'' is also equipped with a [[Holo-Shed]], {{er|4ACV01}} where the crew can rest and relax between suicide missions, though this has been known to suffer technical difficulties involving the holograms turning real and homicidal. Its most powerful weapon, the [[Universe to Universe Missile|U.U.M.]] is capable of destroying entire [[Alternate Universes|universes]], such as [[Yivo]]'s Universe. {{er|TBwaBB}}<br />
<br />
This intergalactic flagship looks like a cross between the mouth of a shark and a can of ham, and has fourteen decks. {{er|4ACV05}} It was severely damaged by the [[Decapodians]] when [[Earth]] and [[Decapod 10]] were at war, but was later repaired and rescued the [[Planet Express]] crew from [[Melllvar|an energy being]], by arresting them. {{er|4ACV11}} During [[3007]], the ''Nimbus'' was struck and fell towards Earth, though it was again repaired, and played an important role in the [[Battle for Earth, 3007|Battle for Earth]]. In [[3008]], the ''Nimbus'' also defended Earth from [[Yivo]]. It was later sliced in two again in [[Leo Wong]]'s miniature golf course, and repaired at an XM Radio repair station just in time to arrest the [[Feministas]], who had conveniently come out of [[Panama Wormhole|a nearby wormhole]]. The ship was later destroyed after crashing in [[New New York]], with the [[Planet Express ship]], in [[3009]]. However, it was used during the battle against the [[Neanderthal chief|Neanderthals]], in [[3012]]. {{er|7ACV08}} This ''Nimbus'' could just be a new one that was built after the old one was destroyed.<br />

They were sent on a deadly mission to collect honey from Space Bees, which proved to be their last mission when the bees overwhelmed and killed them.

[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] is stung to death by [[Space Bee Queen|a bee queen]] trying to save [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], the guilt of his death drives her crazy. However, not all is as it seems.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "We're just as good as any of those other crews you sent to their deaths!" ===<br />
[[File:Old Planet Express Ship.png|thumb|left|220px|The crew discovers the [[Old Planet Express ship|old ship]].]]<br />
<br />
As [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] are playing virtual golf, the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] comes in and explains that they are not good enough for their next mission: collecting honey from [[Space Bee|space bees]], which claimed the lives of the [[old Planet Express crew]]. Leela insists that they are just as good and forces Fry and Bender to go on the mission.<br />
<br />
The crew reaches the {{cat|s=no|space}} bees' hive and paints Bender's body like a bee, giving him a bee {{cat|language}} cartridge that will allow him to communicate with the other bees to distract them while they venture deeper into the hive. They eventually come across the remains of the [[old Planet Express ship]] in the process (where the black box reveals the previous crew died due to the captain's insistence they prove themselves better than the Professor's expectations). The crew eventually discover the honeycomb stockpile, and a flow of royal jelly, into which Fry falls. Leela comes across a {{cat|s=no|children|baby}} queen bee, which she takes, so that the crew can build its own hive in the future, and takes some jelly with which to feed her. Suddenly, Bender accidentally insults the bees, including the current queen, causing the enraged bees to chase them back to the ship.<br />
<br />
On the way back to Earth, the baby queen wakes and threatens to kill Leela. Fry throws himself in front of Leela in defense, but is impaled in the spleen with the stinger, which passes through him and mildly stabs Leela as well. Bender picks up the defenceless dying queen and throws her into the air lock, ejecting her into space (where she is hit and killed by a space truck). Leela gets up with a minor wound from the stinger and is horrified to discover that Fry is dead.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "It was all my fault! He died because of me!" ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Hyperion.png|thumb|left|Fry and Leela in the ice fields of [[Hyperion]]]]<br />
<br />
Fry's funeral is held at the [[Orbiting Meadows]], where many old acquaintances come to mourn. However, none is more woeful than Leela, who believes that it was her error that caused Fry's death, and is wracked with utter remorse. Towards the end of the processions, Fry's coffin is ejected into the outer reaches of space. Back in her apartment, Leela remains sorrowful as she goes through all of the belongings that Fry had given her. Having kept some of the space honey from the mission, she takes two spoonfuls to ease the pain and, after having a brief laughing fit, quickly falls into a deep sleep. She then finds herself floating in space with Fry, who seems to be alive. Leela is not entirely certain, especially since Fry still has a gaping hole through his abdomen, so Fry decides to prove he's alive by telling her that he left something for her in his locker, which only he would know. He then tells her that he wants her to wake up; it turns out that this experience was only a dream.<br />
<br />
Leela tells the others about her dream and what she was told, explaining that if it's true, then he must still exist in some form or another. When she opens his locker, she is disappointed to find that it is completely empty. Bender then comes in, saying that he pawned most of the stuff in Fry's locker for closure, keeping only one item because it turned out to be a present for Leela: a one-eyed stress-relieving doll. Leela marks this as proof that Fry is still alive and is communicating to her in her dreams. However, a quick brain scan leads the others to conclude that Fry told her about the present before his death, and that she subconsciously blocked it out in her grief. In other words, they begin to think that Leela might be going crazy.<br />
<br />
Later that night, Leela has another dream in which Fry is still alive. She is convinced, however, that Fry ''must'' still be alive, since he treats her very romantically, and that she couldn't be treated any more so by her own imagination. When Fry takes her sleigh-riding on the ice fields of [[Hyperion]], he gives her his jacket before telling her to wake up once again. Leela is reluctant to accept that this is just another dream, but wakes up anyway. Her hopes are once again dashed until she discovers that, although she is very much awake, she is still wearing Fry's jacket. Since Fry was buried in this jacket, she is once again convinced that Fry is truly alive.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Fry's alive! I have proof!" ===<br />
[[File:The Sting.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Leela and Fry in Leela's dream.]]<br />
Leela comes to the headquarters the next day to show the others the jacket, but it turns out she has her own jacket. Leela admits that she may be freaking out (especially after hearing [[Amy Wong|Amy]] and [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] speaking with the Professor's voice, and Bender with Amy's), and decides to take some more space honey. After hearing this, however, the others warn her that she must not take too many spoonfuls; one helps a person calm down, two help a person get to sleep, but three can place a person into a sleep from which they can never awaken.<br />
<br />
As Leela cautiously takes a couple of spoonfuls of space honey, she becomes drowsy and accidentally knocks over the jar of royal jelly (which she also kept from the mission) onto the couch. All of a sudden, the jelly begins to take some sort of solid form, eventually transforming into Fry, who is completely naked and covered in jelly, but apparently very much alive. Leela presents Fry to the others; after examining him, the Professor concludes that Fry's DNA was imprinted into the jelly when he fell into it, and that a new body was formed when the imprint merged with his DNA in the couch. Leela is relieved that everything can return to normal and that she no longer has to carry the burden of guilt for his death, until Fry tells her to wake up again; it turns out that Leela merely fell asleep again after eating the second spoonful.<br />
<br />
Leela realizes that she is comfortable in her dreams while her mind plays tricks on her when she's awake. This is evidenced when Leela hallucinates the crew performing [[List of song performances#Don't Worry, Bee Happy|a musical number]], during which each member explodes after being stung by a bee. Afterward, Leela decides to go out into space to find Fry's coffin; her plan is to retrieve Fry's corpse and keep it under her mattress to remind herself that he's really dead, which means dealing with her guilt again. When she finds it, however, she wakes to find herself in her room once again, with the others' faces on the walls and floor, chanting the accusation that she killed Fry. After tearing the faces down like wallpaper (and vacuuming up Bender's face, which is on the floor), Leela finally believes that she is now insane.<br />
<br />
She decides that she will take enough space honey to put her in the eternal sleep so that she can be in her dreams with Fry forever, as that is when she does not feel guilty. Just as she is about to take the final spoon, Fry's picture on her bedside table comes to life and tells her to fight her impulses, but Leela is so confused as to what to do that she breaks into tears. Fry continues to bolster her, saying that she's stronger than this. As Leela attempts to overcome her irresolution, a small space bee starts flying around the room. Leela throws the jar of space honey at it, causing it to turn into an entire swarm of smaller bees. With Leela hopelessly scared and confused, Fry admits his love for Leela and begs for her to wake up once more. Leela wails that she doesn't understand what Fry means. The scene then cuts to Fry at Leela's bedside in the hospital, crying and begging Leela to wake up.<br />
<br />
It turns out that when the sting of the baby queen went right through Fry's body and Leela caught all the poison in her seemingly mild wound, putting her into a coma that lasted for two weeks. Fry, after getting a new spleen from a man who liked to ride motorcycles, never left her side while she was unconscious and kept talking to her in the hope that a familiar voice would guide her back, which came to her in her "dreams". The final shot shows Leela and Fry hugging each other...they then tell each other that they need a shower.<br />

[[File:2007centrefold.jpg|thumb|Centrefold - 2007 [[Calendar]].]]<br />
*This episode was nominated for an Emmy in 2004 for Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming Less Than One Hour).<br />
*(Aside from Primary characters) [[Leo and Inez Wong]], [[Michelle]], [[Petunia]], [[Sal]] and [[Scruffy]] appear at the funeral. Many of the women that Fry had previously been romantically linked with attend the funeral and sit in a group together, including the [[Radiator]], but excluding [[Umbriel]], who obviously can't breathe out of water. Scruffy also plays '[[Walking on Sunshine]]' on the bagpipes at Fry's funeral.<br />
**Cameos are listed in the [[#Continuity|''Continuity'' section]].<br />
*Farnsworth has changed the logo of Planet Express a bit since his last crew died.<br />
*Farnsworth is wearing slippers during the funeral.<br />
*In this episode Fry is stung by a giant bee. [[Billy West]], the actor who voices Fry, is also known as the voice of the ''{{w|Honey Nut Cheerios}} spokes-bee'', Buzz. Multiple references are made to Honeycombs Cereal.<br />
**Honeycomb Hideout is a location in these commercials.<br />
**Hermes, in reply to a comment made by Fry, says "Honeycomb's big, yeah, yeah, yeah." to which Bender replies "It's not small?" then Hermes says "No, No, No." This is part of the product's jingle.<br />
*This is the only time we see the [[Old Planet Express Ship]].<br />
*[http://www.atomicraygunattack.com/ Atomic Raygun Attack] made an album entitled [http://www.atomicraygunattack.com/website/mp3s/thesting/ 'The Sting'] in which they wrote 6 tracks taking moments from the episode. They are available for free download.<br />
*They do not use the correct colour of {{w|Royal jelly}}. This is because Royal jelly is a creamy-white colour and it was thought that colour would not work well. <br />
*Among the many wreaths at the funeral, Bender's is easily the most obvious: "R.I.P. Meatbag", and still shows his typical focus on himself, as his name is larger than that of Fry.<br />
*Leela uses only half a tissue to wipe away her tears, but not only because she has only one eye: it is an inside reference to [[David X. Cohen]] who had a bad cold at the time the episode was written and was fearing to run out of tissues, so he halved each one to make them last longer.<br />
*Fry and Bender were on their 17th hole of virtual golf, par 4.<br />
*The squishy toy from Leela's dream is on her bedside table at the hospital. Also, a picture of the ice moon Hyperion, where Fry took her in her dream, is in frame opposite her bed.<br />
*Black Boxes usually have some form of armoring to protect them from impact. This also seems to be only a circa 1980s tape recorder. This could be explained by Professor Farnsworth's miserly approach to business.<br />
*This episode started out as a sarcastic joke from one of the writers: "Why don't we kill off one of the major characters?"<br />
*This episode is one of four featured in the [[Monster Robot Maniac Fun Collection]], reflecting its popularity with both fans and the creators of ''Futurama''.<br />
*In the "{{s|Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes?}}" episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'', [[Matt Groening]]'s other show, [[simpsons:Homer Simpson|Homer]] was on a vibrating chair going so fast that during a scene, whenever he blinked, his eyes and skin changed to different colours. The exact same thing happened in this episode, with Leela staring into the coffin. Both sequences are a reference to ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]''.<br />
*Leela's singing visions may be a reference to {{w|Ally McBeal}}, who [[Jenny McNeal|was parodied]] in the episode "[[When Aliens Attack]]".<br />

=== Allusions ===<br />
*"They say a spoonful of honey helps to ease the pain" is a parody of the song lyric, "just {{w|A Spoonful of Sugar|a spoonful of sugar}} helps the medicine go down" from Disney's film, ''{{w|Mary Poppins (film)|Mary Poppins}}''.<br />
*The demand to "wake up" echoed through the episode sounded similar to the "stop breathing" line from the {{w|Alejandro Amenábar}} film ''{{w|The Others (2001 film)|The Others}}''.<br />
**It could also be a reference to another Amenábar film, ''{{w|Open Your Eyes (1997 film)|Open Your Eyes}}''.<br />
*Not only was the title taken from the {{w|The Sting|1973 film}}, Bender's outfit in the beginning is the same as that of Robert Redford in the film.<br />
*The space helmets look similar to the ones from {{w|20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954 film)|1954 adaptation of '20, 000 Leagues Under the Sea''}}.<br />
*This episode is similar in some ways to the episode "Goodbye" in Katey Sagal's ''{{w|8 Simple Rules|8 Simple Rules}}''. The episodes aired only five months apart.<br />
*This episode bears some ''Star Trek'' similarities:<br />
**Scruffy wears a Scottish outfit and plays the bagpipes at the funeral, a spoof of [[Spock]]'s ''{{w|Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan}}'' funeral scene where Scotty did what Scruffy did. Fry's funeral song is an arrangement of "[[Walking on Sunshine]]", which was established as Fry's favorite in "[[Jurassic Bark]]". <br />
**This episode also bears similarities to the ''{{w|Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek}}'' episode "{{w|The Tholian Web|The Tholian Web}}", in which {{w|James T. Kirk|Captain Kirk}} is mistakenly presumed dead. {{w|Uhura}} sees him calling for help and thinks she is losing her mind.<br />
**In the ''{{w|Star Trek: The Next Generation}}'' episode "{{w|Frame of Mind (Star Trek: The Next Generation)|Frame Of Mind}}", commander {{w|William Riker|Riker}} is caught in a situation much like Leela's. He's rendered unconscious by aliens, and in a dream that's becoming increasingly weird, he start to question his own sanity, as nothing is what it appears to be.<br />
**In the episode "{{w|Night Terrors (Star Trek: The Next Generation)|Night Terrors}}", counselor {{w|Deanna Troi|Troi}} find herself floating in outer space, much like Leela, in one of her dreams. Slowly the recurring dream takes its toll on her mental health. In the end it turns out the "nightmares" was caused by aliens attempting to communicate with her.<br />
**In the ''{{w|Star Trek: Voyager}}'' episode "{{w|Demon (Star Trek: Voyager)|Demon}}", the Voyager crew discover a biologic substance that can make replicas of humans/aliens based on a few strands of DNA, much like the Fry replica in Leela's dream.<br />
**The tradition from most ''Star Trek'' series, the body being put in a torpedo and shot into space, happened with Fry's "corpse".<br />
**Fry's funeral resembles Spock's funeral from ''Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan'' and it also resembles Kathryn Janeway's funeral from the ''{{w|Star Trek: Voyager}}'' episode "{{w|Coda (Star Trek: Voyager)|Coda}}".<br />
*When Leela has the second dream, Fry appears in a similar way to the {{w|Cheshire Cat}} from {{w|Alice in Wonderland (1951 film)|Alice in Wonderland}}, as a smile hanging in the air, only Fry's hair accompanies the smile.<br />
*Fry pours Leela some Semitic Miss Cocoa, which is a reference to {{w|Swiss Miss|Swiss Miss Cocoa}}.<br />
*Leela's on the brink of death, but her hallucinations make her believe she is living and Fry is dead. A similar occurrence happens in {{w|Soul Survivors}} with the main character believing her boyfriend is dead when he is staying with her at the hospital.<br />
*Fry's remark, "I thought that maybe if you heard a familiar voice, it might help keep your mind together. But who knows if it really got through" is an allusion to Nan Adams, a character who appeared in "The Hitch-Hiker", an episode of ''{{w|The Twilight Zone (1959 TV series)|The Twilight Zone}}''.<br />
*When Leela picks up the baby queen bee, it seems to be a reference to ''{{w|Ender's Game}}'' by Orson Scott Card, when Ender finds a young Bugger queen.<br />
*Hermes proclaims that he is from Jamaica, known as The Show-Me Island, which is a reference to {{w|Missouri}}'s state motto, "The Show-Me State."<br />
*The scene in which Fry regenerates from royal jelly that was spilled on the couch is reminiscent of Frank's regeneration in the movie ''{{w|Hellraiser}}''.<br />
*Leela pulling Fry's jacket out of her dream is a reference to {{w|Nancy Thompson (A Nightmare on Elm Street)|Nancy Thompson}} pulling {{w|Freddy Krueger}}'s hat out of a dream in ''{{w|A Nightmare on Elm Street}}''.<br />
*The scene where Leela looks into Fry's coffin in space and sees a colourful tunnel of light, to the music ''{{w|Also sprach Zarathustra (Richard Strauss)|Also sprach Zarathustra}}'', is a parody of the scene in ''2001: A Space Odyssey'', where {{w|David Bowman (fictional character)|David Bowman}} encounters the {{w|Monolith (Space Odyssey)|Monolith}} and it opens into the same Stargate sequence as in the end of the film.<br />
*The song "Don't Worry, Bee Happy" is a parody of and/or homage to the 1988 hit song {{w|Don't Worry, Be Happy}}.<br />
*Multiple references are made to {{w|Honeycomb (cereal)|Honeycomb cereal}}, such as the {{w|Honeycomb Hideout#Honeycomb Hideout|Honeycomb Hideout}}, and when Hermes, in reply to a comment made by Fry, Hermes says "Honeycomb's big, yeah, yeah, yeah." to which Bender replies "It's not small?" where Hermes says "No, No, No.".<br />
*Zoidberg's set, during "Don't Worry, Bee Happy", is inspired by the {{w|Elvis Presley's '68 Comeback Special|Elvis Presley Special}}.<br />
*The scene where Bender ejects the baby queen bee out of an airlock and where the queen bee wriggles its stinger in the Planet Express Ship's cargo bay are references to the film {{w|Aliens (film)|Aliens}}.<br />
*When Hermes sees that Leela is awake, he exclaims, "Sweet Three-toed Sloth of Ice Planet {{sw|Hoth}}! She's awake!", referring to the ice planet from {{sw|Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back}}.<br />
*As Leela and Fry escape the Bee Hive a bee hits a wall, then explodes; the ensuing scene is similar to ''{{sw|Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi}}'' when the {{sw|Millennium Falcon}} escapes from the {{sw|Death Star II|second Death Star}}.<br />
*This episode bears similarities to the film ''{{w|Solaris (2002 film)|Solaris}}'', which featured an astronaut haunted by persistent and contradictory visions of his dead wife.<br />
*This episode bears similarities to {{w||Philip K. Dick's}} novel ''{{w|Ubik}}'', in which after an explosion and narrow escape, the leading characters see evidence that they might be dead, while characters who are believed dead or in irreversible coma, ''half-life" in Ubik'', nonetheless participate unexpectedly.<br />
*When Leela accidentally knocks the jar of royal jelly, it turns into the form of Fry, this is similar to ''{{w|Terminator 2: Judgement Day}}'' when the {{w|T-1000}} jumps into a helicopter, then reforms itself.<br />

=== Goofs ===<br />
*In "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", the Professor has [[Career chip|career chips]] from his previous crew in an envelope labeled "Contents of [[Space Wasp]]'s stomach", rather than the space bees depicted in this episode.<br />
**While the writer admits in the commentary their research found no relationship between {{w|Bee|bees}} and {{w|Wasp|wasps}}, some wasps do invade {{w|Beehive|beehives}} to host their {{w|Larva|larvae}}.<br />
**This may not be a goof. When Leela hears of the mission, she claims "We're just as good as any of those other crews you sent to their deaths". One possible idea is that they were killed by space bees and then eaten by space wasps. Also, later, when they find the black box from the old Planet Express ship, one of the old crew says that the Professor was right, they weren't as good as the previous crew. This would make Leela, Fry, and Bender at least the third crew that the Professor sent to the Space Bee Hive. There could easily have been a fourth crew that died in the [[Space Wasp|space wasp's]] stomach. Additionally, in "[[When Aliens Attack]]", the Professor is seen hiring a replacement crew for Leela, Fry, and Bender, thinking that they have died fighting the [[Omicronians]].<br />
**It is also possible that whoever recovered the career chips (presumably not the Professor) may have misidentified the Space Bee as a Space Wasp, a mistake commonly made with the insects' counterparts on earth.<br />
*When Fry falls into the Royal Jelly, he tries not to drown by spiting out jelly. Even though he is wearing a space suit that prevents him from inhaling any. <br />
*Fry and Leela are stung by a baby queen bee, then the stinger breaks off. Queen bees do not lose their stinger after they sting. A worker is killed by stinging, since the stinger is barbed and is ripped from the bee's body, along with its venom sac. Queens have less-barbed stingers and do not have them ripped free. A queen may sting multiple times without being injured.<br />
**These are space bees, not regular bees, so this may be one difference between the two.<br />
*When Bender jumps into the virtual lake to fetch a golf ball, the Prof. enters and gives the news. In the next scene, Bender is out of the water and on the fairway.<br />
*When Leela, Fry, and Bender escape from the bees on the Planet Express ship, Fry's hair is messed up. When he tells Leela to look out, his hair is normal. Then when he defends Leela from the baby queen bee, his hair is messy again.<br />
*The following goofs can be explained by the incongruous nature of dreams and hallucinations.<br />
**At the funeral:<br />
***[[Kug]], the [[Amazonian]] who says Fry did "good snu-snu", actually snu-snued [[Zapp Brannigan]]. {{er|3ACV01}}<br />
****Kug may not have been able to tell the difference between two human males. <br />
***The garland's distance from the coffin varies.<br />
***{{Seymour}} the {{cat|dog}} vanishes.<br />
***In a wide angle shot, Leela's hair is black.<br />
***The man to Dr. Zoidberg's right is shown with diferent hair and skin colors in the two shots.<br />
**In the scene where Leela opens Fry's coffin, the hinges have suddenly changed position. Now the casket opens from right to left, instead of opposite, regular left to right.<br />
**Right after the funeral, Leela is on her bed. She tears a tissue in half and puts it on her night-table. The camera zooms in, then out; and the tissue is gone.<br />
* Fry says he got his spleen from a man who liked to ride motorcycles, which is strange, considering that wheels are obsolete in the 31st century and nearly all the vehicles shown in this series are hovercrafts (unless the man who liked to motorcycle is dead and Fry was told by the doctor that the donor lived during the era when vehicles still had wheels).<br />

<br />
In the year [[3000]], the use of the word "Christmas" to refer to the holiday on 25 {{December}} has been completely lost in the mists of [[timeline|time]], and it has been replaced with the word "'''Xmas'''", pronounced "Ecks-Muss". As such, the day has lost all [[religion|religious]] connotations it had in the past, and many traditions have been drastically changed. As [[pine tree]]s are extinct, palm trees are traditonally decorated with festive lights. Being nude on Xmas seems to be quite popular. However, it is not wise to be outdoors after sundown on Xmas Eve, because you'll probably be killed (horribly) by [[Robot Santa]]. {{er|2ACV04}}<br />
<br />
The origins of Xmas are told in ''The Story of Xmas'', a play about Ebenezer {{Omicronian}} - who is visited by six ghosts that foretell the coming of [[Zombie Jesus]] and reveals the reason the holiday changed its name. [[Mom]] is somehow involved. <sup>[[Xmas Time Is Fear|[US#006]]]</sup><br />
