Talk:Roswell That Ends Well

message: I played the episode on a dvd and the subtitles revealed that Fry's "Grandfather's" name is spelt "Enus," not "Enos."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.84.59.36 (talk) 16:14, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: DVD subtitles are not necessarily an accurate indication of spelling.  Whilst the name is indeed spelled 'Enus' in the subtitles (on the UK release at least), there are a large number of spelling errors present in various episodes, such as the characters of Lrrr, Ndnd, Larry and even Leela.

thread_title:  Fry's "Grandfather's" name 

message: I am proposing the possibility that Fry is his own mother's father rather than his father's father.  I know that in the commentary on the DVD for this episode they say he is his father's father "just to make it interesting."  It seem to make more since that he is his mother's father because they all(Fry, his mom and Enus) have red hair that points up in the front.
Also as far as his DNA being passed to himself goes: As long as his parent/offspring passes on the same 25% that Enus would have passed on, everything should be fine.

message: I have removed the comment about Bender's possible inspiration as this is already discussed in his article and it has no particular ties to this specific episode. --WillMak050389 01:14, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bender's Inspiration 

message: The crew go to Roswell - Area 51 - in this episode. Look at the Episode number: 51! A-Ha! I see what they did there!
Roswell is not the same as Area 51
:They may not be the same, but both are strongly associated with theories of government conspiricies and alien activity, probably more so than any other two sites in the U.S. Not sure if it's intentional or not, but wouldn't doubt it with the number of in-jokes that are in Futurama.

thread_title:  Episode In-Joke? 

message: Just a quick clarification: The episode "Fry and the Slurm Factory" implies that the F-ray sterilized Fry. But later in "Roswell That Ends Well" Fry father's his father. Did he get his Fry's Potentcy back somehow? Or is it imposible that he is his own grandpa? 68.48.174.136 15:04, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  What is a 'pintow' ? 

message: Directly after they crash, Leela's line, "Zoidberg, pick up the pieces.  Everyone else, take five," has always struck me as a possible reference to the two songs, though I'm guessing I just made the connection myself.  Thoughts? Marimvibe 02:52, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I was reading here that this episode has an audio commentary track specifically devoted to the animation of the episode. This could be the key to a nice production section for this article and an out-of-universe perspective. Anybody have the DVD and want to tackle a nice well referenced production section for this episode? I wish I could but I don't have this season (yet). Stardust8212 23:17, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I am moving the unreferenced portions of the "cultural references" section to the talk page as discussed at the Futurama Wikiproject. If these can sourced to reliable secondary sources then please re-add them to the article. Stardust8212 00:47, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Cultural references

message: In the Continuity section, the article cites another wiki that incorrectly states that Fry's father's father was named Yancy. The actual line is along the lines of (spoken by Fry's father): "me, my grandfather, and so on, all the way back to minuteman Yancy who blasted Commies in the American Revolution." There is no mention of Fry's grandather (his father's father) as being a Yancy. Anyway, the cited source is incorrect, but I'm not sure how to cite an episode, so maybe somebody can add that it. The episode is "Luck of the Fryrish". (Updated: After editing, it looks like there's nowhere to logically cite the episode in question) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Enharmonix (talk • contribs) 19:48, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, the line is "Son, your name is Yancy, just like me and my grandfather and so on. All the way back to minuteman Yancy Fry, who blasted commies in the American Revolution."  So there is no continuity broken.  Move along. --Svippong 15:27, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: See a transcript of the episode for clarification.  Alternatively, watch the episode again for yourself and pay attention to what he is saying.  Then perhaps, you may not make so blatantly wrong comments in the future. --Svippong 15:29, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fry's grandfather's name part II 

message: About halfway through the episode, just after Fry's grandfather is killed in the nuclear blast and he returns to the malt shop to tell the news to Leela and the Professor, there is a scene where Mildred is given the news over the phone. Above the phone is a picture, which as a close glance resembles Bender:
Bender's Photo
Should this be added in as an Easter Egg? After all, Bender was broken apart shortly after the crash, so logically there would be no photo of him assembled as he should be.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.237.81.67 (talk) 04:42, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bender Photo? 

message: "Near-accidents cause Fry to become obsessed with protecting Enos from possible harm as the grandfather paradox means that Fry will cease to exist if Enos is killed."
This line in the plot section does not sound right. Ceasing to exist if your grandfather is killed before conceiving your father is basic causality, not the Grandfather Paradox. The Grandfather Paradox only deals with the paradox of being able to do things in the past that then result in the inability to do those things in the first place.
I will change the line to simply
"Near-accidents cause Fry to become obsessed with protecting Enos from possible harm after the Professor tells him he will cease to exist if Enos is killed."
unless anyone has any objections.

message: "Roswell that ends well" is also a level in the computer game Carmageddon. Not sure if it's worth mentioning though.
