YMMV / Futurama S 4 E 11 Where No Fan Has Gone Before

• Alternative Joke Interpretation: When Melllvar say that the Star Trek cast are actors who only play heroes, Nichelle Nichols says that she kissed Shatner. Was this a crack at his kissing skills and/or Shatner’s past conflicts with his co-stars due to his arrogance on set or was it referring to the risk that the show took by airing a kiss between two people of different races at a time when interracial relationships were much less accepted than they are today?
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot:
  • Since Zapp Brannigan is an unflattering parody of William Shatner it's a shame he never interacts with the actual Shatner.
  • It was also a missed opportunity to mention the fate of other Star Trek series post-Original Series.
