| |
| [[Image:Leonard Nimoy.jpg|200px|thumb|Leonard "Spock" Nimoy]]
| |
| ''Star Trek'' has appeared in ''Futurama'' on many occasions:
| |
| | |
| ===[[Season 1]]===
| |
| '''{{elink|1ACV01|Space Pilot 3000}}'''
| |
| *In addition to the setting, part of the original concept for the show was that there would be a lot of advanced technology similar to that seen in ''Star Trek'', but it would be constantly malfunctioning. The automatic doors at [[Applied Cryogenics]] resemble those in TOS; however, they malfunction when Fry remarks on this similarity.
| |
| *The introduction is reminiscent of ''Star Trek'' intros in TOS and TNG. "Space: The Final Frontier..." becomes "Space: It seems to go on and on forever...". It also has similar music and voice-over.
| |
| *Leonard Nimoy says that he no longer does the [[startrek:Vulcan salute|Vulcan salute]], "Live Long and Prosper".
| |
| **It is presumed in this episode it is simply because he has no hands, but the truth behind this statement is seen in the future episode, "Where No Fan Has Gone Before".
| |
| *The rows of jars containing heads, with the one jar containing Nimoy's head in front to greet people, is reminiscent of the episode [[startrek:Return to Tomorrow (episode)|"Return To Tomorrow" (TOS)]], where the alien minds were preserved in glowing spheres, with [[startrek:Sargon|Sargon]] in the one sphere in front.
| |
| '''{{elink|1ACV02|The Series Has Landed}}'''
| |
| *We see that [[wikipedia:Cap'n Crunch|Cap'n Crunch]] is promoted to Admiral. In ''Star Trek'' (most noticably TNG) whenever we take a look into the "future", the Captains are always Admirals.
| |
| '''{{elink|1ACV03|I, Roommate}}'''
| |
| '''{{elink|1ACV04|Love's Labours Lost in Space}}'''
| |
| '''{{elink|1ACV05|Fear of a Bot Planet}}'''
| |
| '''{{elink|1ACV06|A Fishful of Dollars}}'''
| |
| '''{{elink|1ACV07|My Three Suns}}'''
| |
| '''{{elink|1ACV08|A Big Piece of Garbage}}'''
| |

| |
| '''{{elink|1ACV12|When Aliens Attack}}'''
| |
| '''{{elink|1ACV13|Fry and the Slurm Factory}}'''
| |

| |
| | |

| |

| |
| | |
| ===[[Season 4]]===
| |
| '''{{elink|4ACV15|The Farnsworth Parabox}}'''
| |

| |
| **''Star Trek'' also has [[startrek:Alternate timeline|Alternate timelines]] and [[startrek:Parallel universe|Parallel universes]].
| |
| | |
| ==={{elink|4ACV11|Where No Fan Has Gone Before}}===
| |
| This episode is almost entirely based on ''Star Trek'' which is why, due to amount of references, this section is dedicated to the one episode:
| |
| *A character created to replace [[startrek:James Doohan|James Doohan]] as [[startrek:Montgomery Scott|Montgomery Scott]] in the cast was named [[Welshie]]. He (or more specifically, the actor who played him) was killed, dismembered, and vaporized by three separate blasts from a cloud creature named [[Melllvar]]. This is reference to the [[startrek:Redshirt|Redshirt]].
| |
| **In addition, the [[Democratic Order of Planets]] (D.O.O.P.) has a [[DOOP Army|military force]] composed of men in red uniforms, who are often utilized as cannon fodder.
