5	A mysterious satellite is destroying planets, with Earth next on its course. Leela and Zapp Brannigan are sent on a mission to destroy it, but end up as the sole inhabitants of a garden paradise.
6
7	!!Tropes
8	* AdamAndEvePlot: Zapp's ultimate goal in the episode. Leela almost gives in to it. [[Recap/FuturamaM2TheBeastWithABillionBacks It's not the first time Zapp has brought it up.]]
9	* BaitTheDog: Leela and Zapp crash on an unknown planet, alone and without supplies. Leela is trapped under a fallen tree, and delirious from lack of water, [[EarthShatteringKaboom and the Earth has apparently been destroyed]]. Through the episode, Zapp appears to be helping Leela get better. Then we find out that the planet they crashed on is Earth, and Zapp has not only been using their current predicament for an AdamAndEvePlot-style seduction, but placed the hazards there so that he'd have a better shot at sleeping with Leela.
10	* BigNo: The final line of the episode, from Fry.
11	* BlackComedyPetDeath: Bender at one point expresses sadness that his guinea pig has died.
12	* BlackComedyRape: V'Giny forces Zapp and Leela to "consummate their union," so it's technically non-consensual. Downplayed, since Leela's pretty much okay with taking one for the planet...and it is [[AssholeVictim Zapp]] after all.
13	* {{Bowdlerization}}:
14	** Sky in the UK pretty much cut a lot of the stronger sexual references in this episode (though the nudity and the part where Leela forces Zapp Brannigan into having sex with her in order to save the world wasn't altered).[[note]]The {{Irony}} considering the plot of the episode is delicious[[/note]] Parts cut include:
15	*** Amy suggesting an orgy after she concludes that it's time for some "end of the world debauchery" and appears at the end of the scene in revealing S&M gear while [[WhipOfDominance wielding a whip]].
16	*** Sal the slovenly blue-collar worker trying to pick up a hooker (Petunia) declines when she lowers her price for sexual favors from $5.00 to $3.00 and decides to go to the nearby adult bookstore, which Fry thinks is the public library (only for Bender to point out that it's a ''pubic'' library).
17	*** Bender naming off the dirty TV shows ("[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons The Pimpsons]]" and "[[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Assarama]]") by cutting the reference to ''The Pimpsons''.
18	*** Fry whispering the name of the planet whose name can't be mentioned in polite conversation, and the subsequent disgusted reaction by everyone who heard it.
19	** In American syndicated airings, the scene with Bender mating with a satellite dish was altered so that he isn't sticking his cord in and out repeatedly. Also, near the end, the part where Zapp says "I just wanted you to think we had to save humanity so you'd be willing to have sex," was changed to something like "I was trying to trick you into making love."
20	* CallBack: In the fourth film, Leela admitted her feelings to Fry. In this episode, she shows him affection by kissing him, hinting to their relationship. Also in the end of the episode seeing Leela and Zapp, Fry screams a BigNo.
21	* ContinuityNod: The planet which in real life is called UsefulNotes/{{Uranus}} is marked on the diagram as "Urectum", as "[[Recap/FuturamaS1E8ABigPieceOfGarbage A Big Piece of Garbage]]" revealed the planet was renamed to that in 2620.
22	* ContrivedCoincidence: The island Leela and Zapp get stranded on is the same island the Planet Express crew arrive on to convince V'Giny that Earth is pure.
23	* CovertPervert: What V'Giny turns out to be. For all his crusade against all he deems filthy and immoral, he ends up forcing Zapp and Leela to do it and shows hypocrisy by ignoring Fry's pleas to censor their sexual congress.
24	* DroppedABridgeOnHim: The entire Nude Beach Planet is destroyed by V'Giny.
25	* EarthAllAlong: Turns out the "garden paradise" that Leela believes they've crashed on is actually just Earth.
26	* EarthShatteringKaboom: V'Giny's method of dealing with planets it doesn't like.
27	* EnhanceButton: Subverted, with a LampshadeHanging, when Zapp has Kif zoom in on the footage of V'Giny, and it's still blurry.
28	-->'''Zapp:''' Why's it still blurry?\
29	'''Kif:''' That's all the resolution we have. Making it bigger doesn't make it ''clearer''.
30	* {{Fanservice}}: Lots of near nudity from Leela in this episode.
31	* FatFlex: When first answering Nixon's summon, Zapp salutes and sucks in his gut, until Nixon gives him the "at ease" command and he exhales, letting his gut loose over his belt.
32	* HehHehYouSaidX: When V'Giny arrives on Earth, Fry chuckles on hearing his name.
33	* {{Hypocrite}}: V'Giny goes around censoring planets. Then it orders Zapp and Leela to have sex with some very dubious consent - Leela is no more happy about it than Zapp. It's basically okaying rape for all audiences just because it happens off-screen.
34	* ItMayHelpYouOnYourQuest: Fry gives Leela some trail-mix for her mission, and tries to give her a framed photo of him. Since it's far too large for the ship to carry, she tells him to hold onto it.
35	* KarmicRape / LaserGuidedKarma: Zapp spends most of the episode trying to deceive Leela into having sex with him. So when forced to have sex with her to appease V'Giny despite now being too embarrassed to is hard not to see it as anything but karmic.
36	* APartyAlsoKnownAsAnOrgy: Amy suggests some "end-of-the-world debauchery". No-one else is very interested, though, but it doesn't stop her from [[DressedLikeADominatrix dressing in S&M gear]] and [[WhipOfDominance carrying a whip]].
37	* ShoutOut:
38	** In addition to being a ''Star Trek'' reference, V'Giny is also a Death ''Sphere'', a lawyer-friendly version of the Death Star.
39	** On seeing the blurry image of V'Giny, Zapp complains about how zooming in makes the resolution better on ''Series/CSIMiami''.
40	** To go with the Trek and Wars references, Hermes looks up Death Spheres in the "[[Series/StarTrekVoyager Janeway's Guide]]"[[note]]There's an obscure other half to the reference. Jane's Guides were a series of recognition guides primarily focused on military aircraft, warships, tanks, etc.[[/note]], while Leela uses The Force as a sat-nav, with Maurice [=LaMarche=] providing his best Alec Guiness impression.
41	* StylisticSuck: The Transcredible Exploits of Zapp Brannigan which accompany every act break. They're awful, as a result of being entirely in Zapp's head.
42	* {{Squick}}: In-universe, everyone's horrified watching Leela and Zapp have sex, save V'Giny itself.
43	* WhipOfDominance: When Amy gets DressedLikeADominatrix for her supposed end-of-the-world orgy, she's also wielding a whip.
44	* WholePlotReference: The basic premise of the first act (a mysterious and destructive satellite comes from deep space and is on course for Earth), as well as the ultimate twist (the satellite is actually an ancient Earth probe that suffered a collision and malfunctioned), are transparent references to ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'' and the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "The Changeling" respectively. Even the probe's name, V'Giny, is a direct reference to / parody of V'ger from the movie.
