The Space Pope

[on:]

I was listening to the comments on Season 3 episode "I dated a robot" where fry is dating a Lucy Liu robot copy.

They show a information movie about why humans should not date robots, and it is brought to you by "Space Pope".

David X Cohen says; that the first time we hear about the space pope is in ep 109. That episode is "Hell is other robots". I watched that ep 2 times today looking for the space pope. I just cant find anything about him .

Anyone knows about "the space pope" and why i cant see it on ep 109. I even looked in the deleted scenes.
(I got the European DVD boxes) has the Futurama crew cut something or was mr Cohen wrong? 

What's with the eye?

IIRC, It's from a line Bender says:

"Is the Space-Pope reptilian?"

EDIT:
Nope. I'm wrong.
According to "The Neutral Planet," it's from the opening caption.

I put the dvd in to check it out. The caption is actually empty :S
Not sure if i have ever seen an Futurama with an empty opening caption.

I never have. 
Perhaps this will help.

Must be a glitch in the DVD production. Here is a screencap from the original broadcast.

OMG :S that does not show on my DVD :/ And i called my friend who also has the first season of futurama on DVD, and he checked to, and that was empty aswell.

Very strange :S

Thank you for posting that image, Xanfor!

[Reply #8 on:]

Jupp thx Xanfor, well guess the mystery with the space pope on the European DVD might be unbrakeable to solve without the reason explained by the producers.

El_Luxo, some people don't know any internet language.  So we type with good grammar.

Sure, i can do that.  Im new here on this forum, hope i will stay here for a long time. But as a response there, personally i have a hard time with "this is how it is spelled" or "we type with good grammar" quotes. Some of us might not be good with english, just as some are not good with "internet language". If you dont have a personal issue with my writing, if there is something i write, ask me what i mean . So please try and keep that kind of stuff to yourself, and keep this forum a Futurama forum not a spellcheck/english language knowledge forum.

What's with the eye?

Just so you know, the reason we employ that rule is because many of our members don not have English as their native language.  I don't want you to think that we do it just because we're very strict.  One thing you might want to check out is The PEELer's FAQ.  It should have what you need to know for things like rank, or various rules.

I wasn't going to post that, but I thought about it.

I think Nix posted in On-Topic.

Has Futurama ever given a name to the type of alien the space pope is?

[Reply #16 on:]

Hm, cant really find anything more about him. Just that he looks like a aligator with a pope outfit. Also he has alittle grin on. You can see him on the big TV screen in their office or louge in ep 315 I dated a robot.

Xanfor, master of the pictures!    Thank you, that is the one.  Ever translated the text around him? It has to be the same as that latin text above him i guess. :P

Nope.

El_Luxo: It's been cracked; and you're right.
If you're interested in such things, there are explanations of the first and the second alien alphabets at PEEL's buddy site The Futurama Point. There used to be an online translator, but alas the site has gone the way of the dodo.

[Reply #21 on:]

Hehe ok thanks Gopher, to bad that, that is the second alien language, and its quite the pickle to translate if im not mistaken. 

[Reply #22 on:]

do all european dvd's not have that caption

[Reply #23 on:]

Dont know about that. But i guess there are.
I dont think they would release diffrent boxes in the same "dvd region".
That would be useless.
The strange thing is mostly why? :S

[Reply #24 on:]

okay,okay guys, this may be a little irrelevant, but just try scrolling down the page slowly, when you get to the picture with opening image (thank you Xanfor) it looks like it keeps moving!
or is that just me?

[Reply #25 on:]

Its just you, lol.

Back on subject, I swear ive seen the space pope in a crowd or something in one of the episides, I know i have...it might have been in BBS, im not sure..

[Reply #26 on:]

Slightly off topic but the mention of the word "pope" reminded me of it and I couldn't resist...

Codes one and two decoder

[Reply #28 on:]

I think Gopher put together a translator as well at some point.

he did but it wasn't interactive

[Reply #31 on:]

I couldn't find it either

[Reply #32 on:]

So, im hearing whispers about an appearance of the Space pope in the 4th movie. Any one heard anything to confirm/deny that.
