SPACE PILOT 3000
I, ROOMMATE When one of Communicator s. LOVE'S LABOURS LOST IN SPACE There are many references in this episode.
MY THREE SUNS Trisolians (the people of the planet Trisol) are liquid lifeforms, and one of them refer to '' whose natural state is a gelatinous liquid and who also refer to people as "solids". A BIG PIECE OF GARBAGE Fry finds a Mr. Spock collector's plate on the surface of the big ball of garbage. A FLIGHT TO REMEMBER Zapp tells Kif : "Divert power from the shields. Full speed ahead!" This is probably a reference to the constant habit of diverting power from one thing or another in ''Star Trek''. WHEN ALIENS ATTACK
FRY AND THE SLURM FACTORY episode '' Where No Man Has Gone Before ''. I SECOND THAT EMOTION The . BRANNIGAN BEGIN AGAIN
WHY MUST I BE A CRUSTACEAN IN LOVE? This episode in many ways parodies the episode '' Amok Time ''. Dr. Zoidberg and Fry take on the roles of Spock and Kirk respectively.
PUT YOUR HEAD ON MY SHOULDERS
LESSER OF TWO EVILS Flexo – an 'evil' Bender – has a Goatee . This is a reference to the mirror Spock in '' Mirror, Mirror ''. RAGING BENDER Sitting around the briefing table, Fry discovers that Hermes has a brainslug: :Fry: Wait a second, he's got a brainslug on his head! :Leela: Sssh! You're gonna get us all assimilated. :Amy: Just act normal and switch to a garlic shampoo. This is a possible reference to the Borg and their practice of Assimilation , or the Ceti Eel and its mind-controlling ability. A CLONE OF MY OWN
THE DEEP SOUTH The alarm that sounds when the red alert effect. THE PROBLEM WITH POPPLERS
ANTHOLOGY OF INTEREST I Nichelle Nichols , dressed as Uhura , appears in this episode with the Vice Presidential Action Rangers to protect the space-time continuum. THE CRYONIC WOMAN starships, e.g. the USS Enterprise . AMAZON WOMEN IN THE MOOD At the restaurant one character says about Zapp Brannigan , "He sickens me!" This is a reference to an Outtake from a dialog recording session for a Star Trek movie. The director was coaching William Shatner on his line, to which Shatner replied, "Don't tell me how to do the line. It... sickens me." Zapp's bad singing is also a reference to William Shatner's Musical Career . THAT'S LOBSTERTAINMENT! One of the nominees for "best Soft Drink Product Placement " at the Academy Awards ceremony is ''Star Trek: The Pepsi Generation''. THE LUCK OF THE FRYRISH Bender uses a Hypospray at the track to sedate the competing horses. THE CYBER HOUSE RULES Leela undergoes "phaser eye surgery". BENDIN' IN THE WIND The wharf where Bender falls out of the sky is named ''Fisherman's Worf'', parodying Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco . See Worf . I DATED A ROBOT While on the Internet (which in the year 3000 is a Virtual Reality environment) Fry and Leela walk past a chatroom called ''OldTREK-vs-NewTREK.web'', where two men are arguing: :Man 1: No way, Kirk could kick Picard's ass! :Man 2: Yeah? At least Picard had the guts to admit he was bald. :Man 1: What? You take that back! ROSWELL THAT ENDS WELL Bender loses his head in Earth's past, where it lays buried for centuries before being excavated and reattached to his comparatively younger body in the present. The same happened to Data's head in ST:TNG's ''Time's Arrow.'' When the Planet Express ship crashes in the Roswell desert, it becomes lodged in rocks that resemble the rock formation Kirk and the Gorn fight at in TOS' ''Arena''. ANTHOLOGY OF INTEREST II Dr. Zoidberg assesses Bender's vital signs with an ST:TOS tricorder. LOVE AND ROCKET When Bender and the Planet Express ship are walking in the park, a profile view of the front of the ship is shown which makes it appear to be shaped like the NCC-1701-D . In Dr. Zoidberg's monologue at the end, he refers to the planets that were destroyed by the radiation resulting from the dumped candy hearts: "two gangster planets and a cowboy world". "Cowboy planets" have been in abundance in Star Trek, including the ST:TNG episode ''A Fist Full of Datas'' where Worf and his son Alexander find themselves trapped in the holodeck, and the ST:Enterprise episode ''North Star''. The Original Series episode A Piece Of The Action features the quintessential "gangster planet". GODFELLAS
:Bender: But why would God think in binary? Unless... you're not God, but the remains of a computerized space probe that collided with God! The ST:TOS episode ''The Changeling'' involved Nomad, a sentient machine created in the collision of a 21st-century Earth probe and an alien probe. Bender's question may also refer to Star Trek V: The Final Frontier in which Kirk asks the false 'God' "What does God need with a starship?". A LEELA OF HER OWN At the ''. THE 30% IRON CHEF A train car reads "Wrath of Conrail", in reference to ''.'' Conrail was a railroad company. When the Professor activates a piece of equipment, the TOS tricorder sound effect is heard. WHERE NO FAN HAS GONE BEFORE See Also: Where No Fan Has Gone Before Where No Fan Has Gone Before - References to Star Trek The title is derived from "where no man has gone before", and this whole episode is centered around ''Star Trek'' and Trek fandom. The original cast appears as themselves, with the exceptions of James Doohan (who declined to appear) and the late DeForest Kelley (who was animated into the episode anyway without speaking parts, as seen at right). It would take pages to cite all the in-jokes and references, but three notes of significance:
JURASSIC BARK Fry uses his three fingers and a thumb to form a Vulcan salute and says the well known words "live long and prosper". A TASTE OF FREEDOM The warlike Klingons have an embassy on Earth. It is decorated entirely in pink and purple and resembles a girl's dollhouse. Originally it was the Barbie Planet embassy, but the writers changed it at the last minute. KIF GETS KNOCKED UP A NOTCH
: Kif: This is the Holo-Shed. It can simulate anything you desire, and nothing can hurt you. Except when it malfunctions and the holograms become real. : Amy: Well, that probably won't happen this time. : Amy: This is so beautiful! pony gallops by. Spirit! Kif! That's the pony I always wanted but my parents said I had too many ponies already! : Kif: Yes. I programmed it in for you! 4 million lines of BASIC! {Link without Title}
TEENAGE MUTANT LEELA'S HURDLES
THE STING Similar to Spock's funeral in ''Star Trek II'', Fry's coffin is fired into space like a torpedo while Scruffy (cf. Scotty) plays the bagpipes. THREE HUNDRED BIG BOYS Kif is imprisoned on "Commander Riker's Island" (an interpolation between Rikers Island and Commander Riker .) SPANISH FRY The ziggurat-like Omicronian palace resembles the Klingon homeworld matte painting used throughout ST:TNG. |
