Not only that, but if electrical devices cannot go through the anomalie, how did Fry manage to get in while wearing a space suit? In the same scene, Kif was in space without a space suit... I can't say I remember seeing Kif in space without a suit before.

Good points! Maybe they cloned the electromatter, making enough to go around? And maybe in the Futurama universe, space suits aren't electrical devices (kind of like a SCUBA tank).
(Repeating to self: It's just a cartoon, it's just a cartoon, it's just a cartoon....)

On a sidenote, I saw someone the other day that looked quite like your avatar Xanfor... BUT, the oxygen tank failed because it was struck by lighting. In my opinion, they should've had Fry's oxygen thingy fly off his back instead of actually going in the universe with him.

Originally posted by soylentOrange: A few things about BWABB didn't quite make sense. First off, how were all of the robots in Bender's army able to hurt Yivo? There wasn't enough electromatter in that letter that Fry wrote to coat all of their weapons, and Bender's sword was the only one that was pink. And even if you ignore that, how was Bender able to cut up the electromatter to coat his sword? The stuff is supposed to be indestructible! I didn't really think the electromatter was the big problem as much as Yivo being out of it's universe- that was my tacit understanding of what was really causing shklim harm. As for the electromatter swords, perhaps the robot devil had something to do with that as well?

When the tentacles are attacking All Space Insurance Agency, we can see Steve Castle, a.k.a. "That Guy" running away from them. Steve should be long dead now after it was declared in his premiere episode that his boneitus killed him. Clone maybe, or perhaps long-lost great-great-great-whatever grandson who's line first began from crazy 80's sexual intercourse?

She probably got promoted and demoted several times during the course of the movie. Look how fast Hermes rank changed in "How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back."

Originally posted by limegreenaffair: well, pardon my ignorance but... if the universe is no longer inhabited by living organisms (excluding plants of course... I think) then isn't that a form of the universe ending? Not a particularly scary form, but yes that argument could be made. Don't think nibbler was too concerned about that though. It's just that Yivo invaded the whole universe, and not a single being on any planet could harm shclim. If shcle wanted to, shcle could have easily killed every living thing in our universe off without any trouble. It isn't likely Nibbler knew anything about Yivo other than that shcle existed, could easily invade every living planet, and couldn't be harmed by anything in our universe.

He probably didn't even know that much. I don't think even the Nibblonians had ever been to another universe. They definitly never went to Yivo's because Fry was the first living thing shcle ever met.

Originally posted by soylentOrange: I dont think Nibbler left Universe A because he knew Yivo would show up. It was probably more of a 'holy frack the universe just ripped open we're all going to die' reaction. His race probably has some sort of prophecy for the event. Also note that I've never seen two nibblonians have sexual relations in cannon... Could be they have a problem with that sort of thing.... which would make some sense, since they're super super old.... they'd have populated the entire universe given the amount of time they've been around in it. It would also explain Nibbler's absence in the movie. With the shadow thing, I say there's multiple light sources and her right arm is slightly in front of her body. Either that or it's a nibblonian....  Also... on the Inez thing... don't asian people's eyes disappear all the time? Sometimes I can't see them anyways....

Her right hand is in a postition that it could very well have a shadow on both sides of her, depending on the lighting.

Originally posted by NastyInThePasty: ... when Fry has Colleen brought to him after he's made Pope, there's a shot of her talking to him, and if you look closely as the shadow of her arm, you can see two shadows. Excellent catch. Originally posted by winna: With the shadow thing, I say there's multiple light sources and her right arm is slightly in front of her body. Originally posted by Professor Zoidy: I agree with the arm shadow. Her right hand is in a postition that it could very well have a shadow on both sides of her, depending on the lighting. Multiple light sources. Very possible. About six-thousand years ago, I recall reading a blurb - in ‘Ripley’s Believe It or Not!’ (believe it or not) - that shadows cast on oil persist for some time. If Yivo’s skin/ entegument/ exterior/ whatever exudes the right kind of oil... hmm...
