Before I start

I'm starting the transcript for this episode in the next few days, but before I do, I wanted some input. What is going to be the difficult part about writing the transcript is dealing with the numerous body switches that occur. Right now, the only way I can think to answer this would be to write something like this.

Amy: [in the Professor's body] Oh no! Can we switch back using four or more bodies?
Professor Farnsworth: [in Bender's body] I'm not sure. I'm afraid we need to use... MATH.

I'm fine with writing it like that but doing so will slow things down and make the transcript much longer. Can anyone think of a better way, cause I can't. Teyrn of Highever 21:39, 13 March 2011 (CET)

Perhaps a shorthand, something like:
  • Amy-PF: Oh no! Can we switch back using four or more bodies?
...where the first name is the speaker, and the letter or initials designate the body (in this case, PF=Professor Farnsworth)? Fry = F, Leela = L, Bender = B, Amy = A, Zoidberg = Z, Hermes = H, Nikolai = N, Wash Bucket = WB. There would probably need to be a key somewhere at the top of the transcript. -- DeepSpaceHomer 22:51, 13 March 2011 (CET)
