[edit] Arguing Editors?

The paragraph below reads like it is the result of an editing war. I may rewrite it, unless theres objections. Patch86 19:44, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

This episode bears still other similarities to the motion picture Solaris, which featured an astronaut haunted by persistent and contradictory visions of his dead wife. The 2002 version of this film opened on November 19, 2002. The source novel was written in 1961, and the original Russian film was released in 1972, and it stands to reason that the writers of Futurama would have known about its content.

[edit] About this trivia item

I could use a more descriptive title, but what the hey.

I object to this trivia item:

In "Space Pilot 3000", the Professor produces career chips from his previous crew from an envelope labeled "Contents of space wasp's stomach," rather than the space bees depicted in this episode. While the writer admits in the commentary their research found no relationship between bees and wasps, some wasps do invade bee hives to host their larvae.:

It is never said that that Planet Express ship is of the crew immediately preceeding the current one. It can be easily be assumed that the professor has sent many crews to their deaths (the recording makes reference to a previous crew) so I don't think this is right. --DK 09:53, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
