<P> Zack Handlen, writing for The A.V. Club, said that, "the first five minutes are passable but rushed, and the hook of Fry deciding he needed to ask Leela to marry him isn't all that exciting". However, he later went on to say that "this finale settles somewhere between the' too happy' and the' oh dear God when will it end', which makes it just about perfect . It has just about everything you could want from Futurama: there's a nifty time - travel plot, Fry and Leela get married, Bender is a jackass, Zoidberg loses $10, and Fry dies". He graded the episode an A . </P> <P> Sean Gardert, writing for Paste, was relatively more critical and summarized that, "Not to say that' Meanwhile' was a bad episode, as it was truly great, an epic 22 minutes that stood up to anything the show's done before . But after toeing up to that line of doing something truly impressive and revolutionary for the show, they backed away again . I was disappointed, to say the least, but I still look forward to catching this episode as a rerun, and have already written fanfiction in my head as to what would happen were Fry and Leela allowed to return to the past with all of their memories still intact ." </P> <P> Indiewire listed "Meanwhile" among their list of the best TV series finales . </P>
