episode 1 season 1 interesting freeze frame

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or not but, If you pause "The Space Pilot" at the moment when Fry is being locked in the cryotube and look under the desk you can see Nibbler's shadow! This means that the writers knew someday they would do the big brain episode where it's revealed that Fry was chosen to save the universe.

Hi, and welcome to PEEL. 

This is common knowledge, actually.  This thread will probably be closed as a result, but it's only to keep the boards a bit less cluttered.

It's been common knowledge since the premiere of SP3k more than 8 years ago. People even noticed the absence of Nibbler's shadow in AOI I right away.

Welcome to PEEL, enjoy it here.

NO? REALLY? Because in the EIGHT+ YEARS since that episode aired, NOBODY has EVER pointed it out, EVER! You're the FIRST! The first EVER!
