  • Zapp Brannagain Episode

    "Superb"

    In this episode, Zapp Brannagain and his lower ranking helper, Kiff Croker, are discharged from working after they destory the headquarters of DOOP. They are then bums for a while, untill they come work for Planet Express. Zapp, however, immediately causes trouble by, harassing Leela, and continually being unhelpful. Then, in the middle of a delivery, Zapp convinces the crew to mutany (hope I spelled that right) against Leela, sending them lost into the depths of spcae. Will they survive? I thought it was pretty good and filled with funny moments, like the court scene. Overall, a good episode worth watching. 9.5/10 Amoreless

    I have only seen this once or twice and I think most of it is pretty forgettable. Now that doesn't automatically mean it is a bad episode, it just means I need to rewatch it. I do remember liking some of it like when Zap told Fry and Bender to mutiny against Leela, but that's about the only thing I remember that made me laugh, so it is definitely due for a rewatch. My grade is about a C or so, but it may or may not rise to above, depending on how i feel after my rewatch takes place.moreless

    This episode was great, Zapp Brannigan gets fired from his job, as does Kif, because they blew up a rather expensive space station where they were supposed to cut the ribbon at the opening ceremony, and they do so with a laser on the highest deathly proportions. So to make up for this, they go to work in Planet Express, however their work there seems unacceptable for the job, but soon are kicked, and they earn their rights to duty again when Leela goes along with Zapp's fake story, even the stuff that didn't make sense. Again, a great episode, a good streak of decent episodes of Futurama...moreless

    Personally, I didn't like the plot of this episode that much. I also did not like Zapp Brannigan and his jokes, they weren't as funny as they were in Love's Labours Lost in Space. The episode's plot seemed force, and the only truly hilarious part was the end, when Leela said, "Let's mutiny," and that was only because it had a very 'here we go again' feeling to it, which was very funny.

    The famous Zapp Brannigan accidentally blows up the DOOP headquarters, and he and his assistant, Kif Kroker, are decommisioned from DOOP. They work for Planet Express, much to Leela's dismay.moreless
