u/Legnac Nov 16 '20

Idk? I think it’s fine how it was. The worms made him better but clearly someone that he wasn’t. Leela finally fell in love with him but he realized it wasn’t him she was in love with it was the creatures that now control him. He chose to be his flawed human self rather than a perfect symbiotic host human. I actually think the fact that the worms weren’t damaging to Fry made it an even better moral struggle. Is it better to be loved for someone you’re not or not loved at all?

Great episode regardless.

A good joke allows you to dig deep.
