"Overclockwise" is the one-hundred-and-thirteenth episode of Futurama, the twenty-fifth of the sixth production season and the twelfth of the eighth broadcast season. It aired 1 September, 2011 on Comedy Central. Bender evolves into a godlike being after vastly increasing his processing power.
Plot
Production
"Overclockwise" was originally planned to be the series finale of season 6, but it was later moved to the penultimate episode to make "Reincarnation" the finale. As "Reincarnation" is a non-canon segmented episode, however, "Overclockwise" is seen as the "proper" season finale. The episode was written in 2010, before the series had been renewed for another season, and much like "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" and Into the Wild Green Yonder, "Overclockwise" was written as if it was the last episode ever of Futurama. As such, Ken Keeler was once again in charge of the writing, making this his third "last episode ever" for the series.[1] as with "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" and Into the Wild Green Yonder.[1]
During June 2011, Countdown to Futurama released four items of promotional material for the episode: concept art of the interior of transfigured Bender's head on 7 June, concept art of Fry's character in a World War II video game on 8 June, part of the storyboard showing Mom's sons release hoverfish on 9 June, and a video clip featuring Fry talking to the transfigured Bender on 20 June.
Two promotional pictures for the episode were released by Comedy Central Press.[2]

We’re getting good at it – we’re doing our third one that we’re actually working on here at the moment – they’ve all been written by Ken Keeler, I should mention, who is writing his third last episode ever." — Cohen, David
