[edit] where in the universe are the klingons?

This is a reference to popular science fiction works such as Star Trek in which each alien species seems to exist on a world without (or at least extremely limited) additional animal life. For example, Alien species such as the Vulcans, Klingons, and Romulans all come from worlds named exclusively after themselves.

Klingon's are in fact from Qo'noS. Other life forms on that world include kolar beasts, lingta, Sark, targs, and t'gla.

[edit] Sounds from the game DooM are used in this episode (the door open and close sound)

Sounds from the DOOM games are used in a lot of media(especially that of the DOOM 2 final boss firing). It's kind of irrelevant. --Anarchy_Balsac
It's not really from Doom but from the old Sound General Series 1000 sound effects libraries. id software didn't really make any of the sounds from scratch so nope. CheapAlert 05:32, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, that just strengthens my case that the trivia "fact" shouldn't be there. --Anarchy_Balsac

[edit] "Jargon" scene cut

Actually, no. I saw them sucking each other's "jargons" on Comedy Central. --66.218.13.155 04:07, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Simpson's

Does it really count as "Simpson's already did it if the episode aired months before the Simpson's video game came out? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.85.241.76 (talk) 17:03, 14 December 2006 (UTC).

I added that little nugget to the article, and will grant it's a little on the lame side. It takes months, if not years to develop a video game. Compared to the days that Matt and Trey need to put together an episode, I'm pretty sure the Simpson's plot was already laid out before this one. However, even if the Southpark episode was "first", I thought it was at least another link between the two shows as was illustrated in the Southpark episode The Simpsons Already Did It. This is as much as I'm willing to defend my addition. Feel free to remove it if you think it's dumb/inaccurate. Now if Bart Simpson had tried to replace the chocolate candy filling with mayonnaise...

[edit] starving marvin reference

Do the South park kids make a south park reference when they say it is their second time in space? -QX100 3:04 31 March, 2007 (UTC)

I think so. And Cartman references his other anal probe adventures when he says it's his fifth time. Hoof Hearted 15:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia vs Pop Culture

I deleted the 'too much trivia' tag (maybe a bit hastily) because I don't think that references to pop culture is the same as trivia. I think we should clarify it now, though, instead of just deleting it and replacing it back and forth. For me, I think it's different because while trivia is just a list of bits and pieces of the episodes one may have missed, references to pop culture is stuff you wouldn't know unless you've heard of the references, and it's not exactly 'facts' that can be worked into the article. So really the only options would be to leave them in their own section, or delete them. And deleting them is no good because wikipedia is the site a lot of people go to to read about these things that they'd otherwise never know about- it's what makes the episodes articles interesting.

Since there's no policy on wikipedia about cutting down on references to pop culture, and it'd be almost impossible to work such things into the plot synopsis (without making it extremely awkward, anyway), I think they should be left in their own section. And as long as that's the case, why have that annoying (and IMO wrongly placed) trivia tag?

Just to add to that, if anything, it should be the "Miscellaneous" section that should be tagged as trivia, not the "References to Popular Culture." Columbo2 23:12, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Miscellaneous it is, then. ≈ The Haunted Angel 23:20, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
