Mission[edit]
Please, if you must create fancruft, at least do it in funspace. -- Nx / talk 06:30, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
- and here it is. Mission tag slapped on, mission tag ripped off, page moved. Enjoy the rest of the show. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 18:10, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry, I'll tell you when it's done. It will be AWESOME. Osaka Sun (talk) 00:42, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
- I've watched the show a few times and quite liked it. But If I knew little about it and looked it up after one episode I'm not sure what this article would tell me. For instance, the crew list is simply, well, the crew list.
- If it's only ever intended for fun then it's fine - but it needs a bit more edge if its ultimate destination is intended to be mainspace.--BobSpring is sprung! 13:21, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
- It does need some actual information. Things like the section about which episodes will make you cry and whatnot are all well and good, but far more interesting would be a look at the repeated mockery of pseudoscience that occurs. I already mentioned their mockery of sci-fi analogy science - ("Like putting too much air in a balloon!") - where there is a presumption that any high-technical solution makes enough intuitive sense to be rendered down to a simple everyday analogy. I'm sure there are other such discrete examples to be written up.--

- They've made a few cracks at homeopathy and some against creationism, but it hardly warrants a mainspace article--User:Brxbrx/sig 22:12, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
- See "Contributions to humanity." I really don't mind if we keep this in funspace, it's where we put most movies/TV shows anyway, right? Osaka Sun (talk) 23:54, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
- Regarding "Amy Wong - Planet Express' resident intern and stereotypical "dumb blonde.""... doesn't she study engineering and therefore better shouldn't bee too dumb? I think that deserves at least another footnote... --87.145.128.151 (talk) 02:32, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
