About this "Futurama" episode:
"Where No Fan Has Gone Before" is the eleventh episode of the fourth season of the animated series Futurama. It originally aired in the United States on April 21, 2002. Along with "The Why of Fry" (which precedes this episode in production order), it is one of two episodes that do not feature Professor Farnsworth.
This episode contains many story elements based on episodes of Star Trek.
In the DVD audio commentary, Goodman notes his pride in having included a large number of quotations from the original series, particularly those items which he claims "the people on the internet" had not found on their own. He noted that in "Shatner's Log", based on Star Trek's "Captain's log", the line "The impossible has happened" quotes the opening log in "Where No Man Has Gone Before".
The writer for this episode, David A. Goodman, states in the DVD audio commentary that making this episode was a "dream come true" for many members of the crew including himself. Pat Shinagawa, who directed the episode, also states that there was a certain amount of jealousy that she had gotten to do this episode whereas Matt Groening states that while he is a fan of the Star Trek franchise he has never seen an episode of the original series all the way through, but he has seen the first movie.
All of the living members of the original Star Trek cast agreed to appear in the episode with the exception of James Doohan, whose agent replied with "No way." Because of this, the episode's working title was jokingly named "We got everybody but Scotty" and the character Montgomery Scott was replaced with "Welshie". DeForest Kelley was physically portrayed in the episode but had no lines due to his death in 1999.
Multiple designs for the energy being were considered for this episode; however, the final version was decided upon due to a desire to keep the design simple. Despite this effort, Shinagawa still notes that the final design for Melllvar is more sophisticated than some energy beings featured in the original series.
