===Topics of Discussion===
<!-- Make some notes on what was discussed, attempt to group topics.
Format Example:
*Attempted to insert secrets into the episode to set up the future episodes and plan to point them out in the commentary.
**Secrets included the Nibbler shadow, at several other points the group randomly said "Secret!" despite nothing important being on screen.
*Simultanious countdown is a stretch.

*Usual discussion of who-voiced-who.
Format Example:
*[[Humorbot 5.0]] returning in a later episode.
*'''David X. Cohen''': That's my parent's home address "405". It's a different street, but that's where the number came from.<br/>[laughter]<br/>'''Matt Groening''': Wow! Everything is of significance.
*The various sources of inspirations for [[Harold Zoid]]'s old holo film.
*'''Unknown''': I think this is the first time we see Leela.
*There was discussion about where the ink should be coming from, but they decided that it should be vague.
-->
*Hank Azaria met [[David X. Cohen]] while at the recording studio used for both ''The Simpsons'' and ''[[Futurama]]'' and mentioned loving [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]]'s voice and requesting to voice a relative of some kind.

**[[John DiMaggio|DiMaggio]] jokingly complains that Herman's version wasn't used.
*Harold Zoid's name (and Zoidberg) is based on a game Cohen wrote, similar to his favourite game ''{{w|Qix}}'',  for the Apple 2 in assembly called Zoid, as well as actor Harold Lloyd.
**[[Matt Groening]] later bought Cohen a Qix machine as a present, it no longer works.
*Mentioned the fan reception of this episode as the worst ever and that the rating on [[Can't Get Enough Futurama|gotfuturama.com]] was 58/100.
**One forum member reportedly bashed it at every opportunity, until [[Patric M. Verrone|Patric]] emailed to find out what was wrong with it, at which point he claimed the episode was okay.
**Script notes in the early stages included (from Patric himself) "the first act is over joked and the third is under and some where in the middle I lost [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]". David noted the possibility of needing a C-story runner for Fry and Leela.
*Old titles included "Zoidberg goes to Hollywood" and "Zoiddy goes to Hollywood".
*The audience pan was sped up from 15 seconds to 2 seconds to save time but keep the animations.
*Apparently the ''Star Trek'' nominated for product placement was actually ''Star Wreck''.
