At first, My Three Suns looks like it will be about Bender attempting to act as the Planet Express ship's cook, but that's doomed from the start given that Bender doesn't even have a sense of taste. However, this episode soon drops that storyline and becomes a Fry episode, in which Fry again has some difficulty adapting to the thirty-first century. Here, he almost gives up his lungs in exchange for gills on a shady street market. Leela berates him to be more careful, and on making a delivery to the Galaxy of Terror, tells him not to touch anything. The salt from Bender's cooking makes Fry thirsty (this is the only relevance the cooking subplot has to the main storyline), and he drinks a bottle of liquid, not knowing that the aliens on this planet are in liquid form and the alien he drank was the planet's emperor. Fry is an assassin, but as it turns out, the assassin gets to be emperor.

Of course, if a society only lets one become emperor by assassinating the previous emperor, no one is going to reign for very long. Leela figures this out and warns Fry that he's in over his head, but Fry doesn't really listen. This episode is interesting for exploring Fry and Leela's early relationship- friends, but they fight, and Leela is angry enough to hit a punching bag with Fry's picture on it. But she eventually comes back to rescue him. Incidentally, I believe this is the first episode to reveal Fry is 25-years-old. A funny, entertaining episode, and worth watching. A-

As this episode opens Bender is watching a cookery programme on the television but quickly turns over and claims he was actually watching porn when the others walk in. Shortly afterwards he is told that if he doesn't start contributing to the workload the company will stop paying him so he decides to become the ship's chef. After a trip to Little Neptune to buy the ingredients he cooks his first meal. Unfortunately it is far too salty; this is doubly unfortunate for Fry as they are on their way to deliver a package to the emperor of Trisol, a hot desert planet. By the time he gets to the throne room he is parched and helps himself to the bottle of cool refreshing liquid next to the throne. This liquid is the emperor; all the inhabitants of Trisol are liquid! By local custom he who assassinates the emperor gets the job of being the new emperor; this sounds great until Leela points out that most emperors last less than a week and if he fails to say the coronation oath perfectly he will be killed. Amazingly he gets it right but then discovers the old emperor is not dead and wants to be cut out!

This was a fun episode with plenty of hilarious moments; I laughed out loud at the 'crack dispensing machine' and organ dealer in Little Neptune. This episode was the first to feature the Neptunian chef who likes to kick it up a notch: Elzar. The main story was fairly entertaining and it was amusing seeing the crew trying to make Fry cry to get the emperor out even if it was rather cruel.

I really like this episode. It's so funny. I really love Fry and when he becomes an emperor.

In this episode, the Planet Express crew go to a distant planet to deliver something. Fry is desperately hot, since it's a desert planet, so he drinks a bottle of water, that wasn't actually water. It turns out to be the planet's emperor. They're a fluid-based liquid-form race of alien. Since he did this, they promote him to emperor. But then Leela tells Fry that most of the emperor's only last a week, if not less. And if he fails to say the coronation oath, then he will be killed. After he does the right thing, it turns out that the emperor was not dead and wants to be cut out of Fry's stomach.

Overall, I give this episode a 9 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Amazing.
