Fresh off ripping space-time a new one at the end of "Bender's Big Score," the Planet Express crew is back to mend the tear in reality, or (hopefully) at least not make it worse. Beyond the tear, though, lurks a being of inconceivable...tentacularity. What will become of Earth, and indeed, our universe, when faced with the Beast with a Billion Backs?
Honestly does explore some pretty engaging concepts, but only very shallowly so. Not as good as your typical episode of the show. Could have either leaned a bit more into the jokes and just been fun, or properly explored the relationships and notions raised, and been kind of compelling. Instead it's neither.
Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
