Summary

A strange alien melody is threatening to destroy the Earth and the meaning of it is hidden in Fry’s dreams.

Our Take

Game of Tones” spends most of its runtime inside Fry’s dreams, which gives the episode a surprisingly emotional core as he relives his last morning in 1999. The Nibbler plot wraps up a bit too neatly, but the character work carries it. A solid hour that lands its ending better than most.
