You just answered your own question

I woldn't be surprised if those two popped up again. Hey, Scruffy started out as a throwaway gag, too.

I hope not, they don't look funny.

you're right, nerduk! He does!!

I think he looks more like Carl Sagan.

 

But that's just me.

That's you? You look more like Carl Sagan than sanvor does!

  (yes, I knew I set myself up for that one)

I thought for sure that Zanthor/Sanvor/whatever was a reference to something Sci Fi that I just didn't get.  Anyone know?

I have the impression his name's spelled "Xanthor." It's more science-fictiony that way. He looks like Spock's dad, except for the ears...

Every single walk-on character on "The Simpsons" was eventually exploited again--for good or ill--so even though they seem to be one-shot gags, we may see 'em again.

Katrina's just too "Tinker Bell" for me, so unless her first major appearance shows she is an escapee from some messed-up Disneyland parody like the Moon amusement park, I'd pass...Xanthor is much more accessible, he could fill all sorts of roles.

I just love the idea how there are other people in the universe that we haven't heard about. How do we know they are not part of the Planet Express crew, we just see the parts where they are never there and never referenced.

I really and truly did not get that joke in AoI II... I bet the person writing the script was really tired. Or maybe possessed.

We probably shouldn't bet there's an explanation for those weird people.
