Rage Against the Vaccine

This is probably the worst episode in the new season so far. The main problem is that it's just taking some topic and trying to be too, uh, topical with it. This episode is about a virus coming about and Hermes having to use voodoo to get rid of it. Dr. Banjo reappears. He's probably one of my favorite minor characters. Everybody's already talked about Covid, but I guess it had to show up eventually.

The best part was probably Fry and Leela's interactions. It's so great that they're still a couple! Aliens from Omicron Persei 8 are invading Earth, which sounds kind of cliche. We do get some good stuff with Bill Nye. Yeah, he's always nice to have around. It's just nothing that noteworthy. **1/2.
