Quotes
David X. Cohen: Well Zoidberg's name comes from a game I was developing in college called Zoid so his name is dedicated to those wasted three years.
Ken Keeler: [When they watch the crew jumping over the alligators.] And I believe the single least realistic thing in the entire episode is right here. [They laugh.]
Peter Avanzino: What do you mean?
Rich Moore: The way they jump the gorge.
David X. Cohen: Matt Groening, you had objections to that early on. How do you feel in retrospect? The gators with the space helmets on?
Matt Groening: I... I was wrong.
