References to Star Trek in Futurama (Where No Fan Has Gone Before)

  • Opening sequence begins with a flyby of the Planet Express ship fitted with Enterprise nacelles, and a William Shatner Shatner's Log, a play on captain's log.
  • In this log, the line The impossible has happened is the same line given in the opening log in the episode Where No Man Has Gone Before.
  • Zapp Brannigan says bring in the accused, a line taken from the end of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
  • He's dead, Jim! repeated during a scene when Trekkies are thrown into a volcano.
  • Seen in the Church of Star Trek: Ceiling of the Cristine Chapel Closed for Renovation.
  • Star Trek "priest:" And Scotty beamed them to the Klingon ship, where there would be no tribble at all. The crowd chants All power to the engines!
  • All the tapes of Star Trek are fired out of a ship on a torpedo, and land on a nearby planet, just as Spock's body was at the end of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
  • Fry talks to Leonard Nimoy, asking him if he remembered the episode where he got high on spores and smacked Kirk around, This Side of Paradise (Star Trek)
  • Nimoy to Shatner: Bill, you are, and always shall be... my friend, a reference to three of Spock's lines to Kirk in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
  • Omega III being off limits may come from the Genesis Planet being forbidden in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, or from the Original Series Episode The Menagerie, where the planet Talos IV is also off limits.
  • Fry asks Walter Koenig to repeat something with his Russian accent, and then to say Nuclear Wessels, a line from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
  • An entity on Omega III seems to be derived from the "God" on Sha Ka Ri from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. It also borrows many lines such as It is I, You doubt me? (paraphrased as You doubt my power?)
  • The entity zaps Scotty's replacement (named Welshy), who happens to be wearing a red shirt. This is a play on Apollo zapping Scotty in the episode Who Mourns for Adonais, as well as the recurring theme of red-shirt officers being killed off.
  • A Star Trek convention.
  • William Shatner's "singing."
  • During Ambassador Sarek's Trivia Challenge, one of the questions asks who Kirk left on Ceti Alpha V (as seen in the episode Space Seed). Shatner stands up and screams KHAAAAAAAAAN!!!, as he did in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
  • Leela makes the statement If we can reroute engine power through the primary weapons and reconfigure them to Melvar's frequency, that should overload his electo-quantum structure, to which Bender replies Like putting too much air in a balloon.
  • The starship fires down on Melvar, as the Enterprise did to "God" in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. As in the original series, the beams are shown leaving the ship in diverging directions, but somewhere in between they converge so that both strike the target at the same time, in the same spot.
  • The consoles on the star ship explode.
  • The ship is pulled by a ray that resembles a giant hand, much like the giant hand that grabbed the Enterprise in Who Mourns For Adonais?.
  • Shatner rips his shirt.
  • Nichelle Nichols distracts Fry, Leela, and Bender with her famous fan dance as seen in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
  • Nimoy attempts to nerve-pinch Bender.
  • Fry makes the observation that Melvar is just a child, the same as Spock said of V'Ger in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, or Kirk said of Trelane, in the episode The Squire of Gothos.
  • Shatner makes out with Leela. James Kirk is known for his many relationships with women.
  • A starship that resembles the Romulan Bird-of-Prey from Balance of Terror decloaks and fires on Fry's ship.
  • Prepare to be boarded.
  • George Takei quotes the Enterprise self-destruct code Destruct sequence 1A-2B-3... as seen on Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and in the episode Let That Be Your Last Battlefield.
  • The ending credits feature the Star Trek Fanfare, and play back images from the episode, as well as a picture of Kif in a parody of the famous alien seen on some of the Original Series ending credits.
