Topics of Discussion
- Billy West voiced the fly that gets burned in Farnsworth's experiment.
- The episode starts off where Into the Wild Green Yonder ends, but when they wrote it, they didn't know whether or not the series would continue. They therefore left it very open-ended.
- This is the third Futurama premiere episode after "Space Pilot 3000" (the pilot episode) and Bender's Big Score (the first of the movies).
- David X. Cohen mentions that there was a hiatus of TV episodes of seven years between when the shows stopped airing on Fox, and when it started again on Comedy Central. While he hadn't researched it beforehand, he said that that might be a record for a TV show.
- The crew thanks Cartoon Network and Adult Swim for airing reruns of the show during the hiatus, and Comedy Central for helping revive it.
- David X. Cohen discusses his and Matt Groening's original idea for the return, in which the crew would appear in another universe, or a distant part of our universe, as a result of passing through the wormhole. Read more about this here.
- This is Frank Marino's first Futurama episode as a director.
- Many fans on the Internet said that the new episodes included a lot more nudity than previously. Matt Groening points out that he thinks the amount of nudity is about the same, but it just happened to be that the first two episodes of season 6 ("Rebirth" and "In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela") were the two with the most nudity.
- Claudia Katz points out that nudity is funny.
- The episode contains a lot of storytelling for just 21 minutes.
Highlights / Quotes
David X. Cohen: [On this being Frank Marino's first Futurama episode.] So what was it like directing Futurama compared to other things you've directed in the past?
Frank Marino: Well, first of all, the coolness factor. I did a lot of kids' stuff before this.
David X. Cohen: And that was a lot cooler?
