The biggest concern I have over it is what the premise and setting will be now and whether that will work.
It would be ridiculous to try and pretend six years haven't passed and every regular still knows each other.

D'awwww.

I really wish they'd actually just had them get together as a couple in the revival and be done with it.
Would it really change that much?
This episode, The Sting and the worm one were clearly heading towards that in any event.

Who are you again?

Isn't the answer to just assemble a personal playlist of the revival episodes we like and just forget ones we wish were never made?

I like the revival, but I think there is something off in some episodes. Really the emotional stuff they were really hitting high notes with seemed to lack a little in the revival.

It's up there for me. 
Luck Of The Fryish, Jurassic Bark,The Sting,  The Why of Fry,  Time Keeps On Slipping,  War Is The H-Word, Parasites Lost,  Amazon Women In The Mood and this would fill out my top 10.

Oh, I definitely meant in terms of the thematic part, not the music, which is fairly traditional  operacomique style.
The theme of the Robot Devil coming back to derail things reminds me a lot of a reference to Act 2 of P&B with the Crown coming back for Bess part.

I've lobbied for the Met to  use " Courtesans and gentle fops, I bid you welcome to my opera" before every performance for years, no luck so far.

Fry's opera always gave me a feel of Porgy & Bess, especially the tune when the Robot Devil breaks into the thing.
I love this one for all the opera geeking out. The masks that look like what older stage plays would use, the devil's statement on characters just announcing their feelings (duh, that's opera in

I really cry at the simple head of Leela he manages to create on the Holophoner in the prior episode too.
There's such a sweet optimism to that, and how you feel he'll get her back one day.

Ah Fry, congratulations. Your latest performance was as delectable as dipping my bottom over and over into a bath of the silkiest oils and creams!

Nailed it Nathan Ford's.

You better not have been calling me an ugly pig you smelly crawly little bum lick.

No ring yet.

I bloody should have.

It took such a sacrifice.

Get yopur own bloody thread. ;)

It's the way he carried himself I think.

THANKS!!!
