Topics of Discussion
- Maurice commentates even though he does not voice any characters in this episode, he normally would have voiced the Narrator.
- Episode had not aired at time of commentary recording.
- Origin of episode plot. Box was originally found in attic, they were going to not open the box until the end.
- Discussed at length (perhaps over thought) how the boxes connect during development, David notes that there'll be an explanation later and that we should get out pencils and graph paper.
- Smallest cast list in Futurama history.
- Difficulty of having two of everyone.
- They have the same personality as the alternate selves.
- There was going to be a character called Deluxor, who was a robot brought to Planet Express that was better than Bender and made of either solid gold or exotic wood.
- They were worried whether this episode was too confusing.
- Katey Sagal didn't understand the concept when the writers/directors tried to explain it.
- Audio and visual differences between the establishing shots in the two universes.
- Zoidberg-1 is blue because one in two million lobsters are blue.
- The official name of the Narrator is Transition Announcer.
- The Zoidbergs initially enter universe 25.
- Some of the boxes don't actually lead to each other, the wires keep the connections open though.
- The meaning of the number 420, or more accurately 4:20pm, to cannabis users.
- They didn't notice that Hermes-1 didn't come out of the box with the other characters until late in the process and had to do an emergency retake.
- Pulling the boxes through each other is done outside three dimensional space.
