Based on that (and my tourist map of New York) I've come to the shocling conclusion that Planet Express might be located in New Jersey!! No, no, wait hear me out, before you brutally murder me for speaking heresy. Take a smeek at this framegrab from SP3k. Explanation below. 1: Location of PE (where the peace officers are firing their laser canons) 2: Lincoln Tunnel (it would be logic if NNY reused the old tunnels rather than digging new) 3: Penn Central Tunnels (see above) 4: The southern part of Central Park 5: Newton Creek That would put PE somewhere in Weehawken, on the Hudson riwer. And, yes, I know New Jersey isn't part of the city of New York as such. Now you may kill me, but remember it's just a theory.

Why wouldn't that be facing east from Manhattan? And what about those bridges (directly below 2)?

Originally posted by SQFreak: Why wouldn't that be facing east from Manhattan? Because of the river on the opposite site of the landmass in the middle of the shot. Since there aren't any rivers in Queens, I'm assuming that's East River. As for the bridge below 2, either Lincoln Tunnel is transparent and laid bare, or they built a bridge above it as well.

No, I think he'd smile and say, "Geeks! Woohoo!"

Okay, you got me. I'm actually Patric Verrone (but don't tell anyone). Originally posted by Vintage Dave: But that undermines the joke of having the old DOOP HQ in Weehauken, in BBA.
If DXC saw this thread he'd shake his head and say, "Geeks."
Teral, did you decode the Dead Sea Scrolls in a former life? Yeah, turned out it was just a collection of recipes for tapioca pudding. Lots of disappointed faces at the CERN lab that day, I'll tell you. Since David is the ultimate Futurama/sci-fi nerd I'd be honored if he would count me among his peers. Originally posted by evan: What could happen is that NY could have expanded into the state of New Jersey. Think about it, in 1000 years the borders between states could change. It's likely that NYC ran out of room sometime, and had to annex neighboring areas for land. That would solve it (and leave in the DOOP HQ joke if they only took the waterfront), besides it's not like anyone would be sad if New Jersey got smaller.

Hmm it could make sense that PE HQ was in Weehauwken, New Jersey. Because in Brannigan Begin Again after Zapp and Kif were dishonorably discharged therefore they had no money. Then we were treated to the Midnight Cowboy homage montage. Double French. I'm sure what money they made was for food, no money for transport so PE HQ could've been a short walk away. That's my theory. Feel free to tear it apart. -cs™
