Is this a sarcastic self-reference by the writers to the fact that, after 50+ episodes, such an unlikely event is entirely commonplace within the show? In this case it is an almost literal deus ex machina because it is "God" who performs the act.

Featured.png Godfellas appeared on the Infosphere's Main Page as the featured article for April, 2007. This article (or a previous version of it) has been identified as one of the best produced by the Infosphere community. If you can update or improve it, please do.

Deshuba?

In the commentary, Ken Keeler claims that the monks of Deshuba are named after a star from a constellation, but he doesn't remember the name of the constellation. I've been unable to find anything on the internet about this star, even looking up every constellation on wikipedia in alphabetical order and checking out every named star. >.< If anyone can find any further info on it, I'd really like to make sure that the usage here on the Infosphere is correct, not to mention it would be a good trivia addition and sate my curiosity.--Ozzie 10:54, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Dschubba is the head of the scorpion in the constellation Scorpius.

New Goof

I just watched this episode and noticed something. When they originally get to the telescope/shrine (whatever it's called, where they're searching for God), it shows the bridge that they go on attaching to the ice, but when the telescope is moving around searching, the bridge is now attached to the telescope itself, and not the ice anymore.

Deus Ex Machina?

When Bender is hurled back to Earth by the God Entity, Leela says "This is, by a wide margin, the least likely thing that has ever happened."

Is this a sarcastic self-reference by the writers to the fact that, after 50+ episodes, such an unlikely event is entirely commonplace within the show? In this case it is a literal deus ex machina because it is "a god in a machine" who performs the act.
