Topics of discussion
- While Zapp's dream looks like it's pretty cheap to create, it's pretty advanced technology, and the ships on strings are actually 3D.
- The episode was based on an idea Matt Groening had a time ago, according to David X. Cohen.
- That on police shows, they can always enlarge a photo with unlimited resolution, is David X. Cohen's pet peeve.
- The original idea of the episode was to have Zapp and Leela stranded on an Eden-like paradise. They realized that this was a type of story that could offend some people, and they therefore included V-GINY to represent this.
- The design of the spaceship is modelled after sport cars, and Peter Avanzino points out that it's ironic they spent so much time on it, when it in the end is barely seen at all (because it is invisible).
- The name of V-GINY comes from the "V'Ger" from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The V'Ger is in reality Voyager that returns after hundreds of years, with mud covering the middle letters.
- Everything on the screens inside the V-GINY is inspired by past episodes, but it's all new animation. They do not, however, mention the eyePhone commercial that actually is from a future episode.
- David X. Cohen points out that there is a lot of nudity in the first two episodes of season 6 (this and "Rebirth"). He says that while a lot of people have wondered if this is because they're now on Comedy Central, who have looser censorship than Fox had, the short answer is "no". It's basically just a lucky stroke that the two first episodes both had a lot of nudity, it was not planned.
- This is also discussed, at a lesser extent, on the commentaries for "Rebirth".
