Talk:Roswell That Ends Well

I could be wrong, but I think that a rocket that Fry and such shoot at Roswell has the words "Roswell That Ends Well" on it, but seeing as I don't have the DVD or TiVo, I can't see if this is true. So, if this could be proven, and added to the Trivia, thank you. JeramiahWindsor

Alas I can't prove it, but I've got the DVD and it's true (it also has Bender's head painted on it). Duly added. Tyrhinis 19:55, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

The paradox of Fry having both 25% and 100% of his own genes

The line *If he really did impregnate his grandmother, it would stand to reason that his father has 50% his genes.Thus, he is 25% his own genes, an impossibility since he should have 100% his own genes. was deleted for not making any sense, however it does make sense (at least as much as a paradox can.)

1. Fry and Mildred each give thier son 50% of their genes
2. Fry's son (Yancy) and his wife (I forget her name) each give their son (Fry) half of their genes
3. Since Yancy had 50% of he father's genes and he give his son 50% of his own genes, his son (Fry) gets 25% of his paternal grandfather's genes
4. Fry has 25% of his paternal grandfather's genes, and since he is his own grandfather, he has 25% of his own genes

Obviously someone cannot have 25% of their own genes, so their is a paradox

No. Fry inherits the same genes he passed on to Yancy, from Yancy. The same 50%. So technically he doesn't have any genetic relation to Mildred, since by pure chance he got none of her genes from Yancy. The other 50% of Fry's genes came from his mother. Zythe 18:19, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Mother's Father?

I am proposing the possibility that Fry is his own mother's father rather than his father's father. I know that in the commentary on the DVD for this episode they say he is his father's father "just to make it interesting." It seem to make more since that he is his mother's father because they all(Fry, his mom and Enus) have red hair that points up in the front.

Also as far as his DNA being passed to himself goes: As long as his parent/offspring passes on the same 25% that Enus would have passed on, everything should be fine.

Bender's Inspiration

I have removed the comment about Bender's possible inspiration as this is already discussed in his article and it has no particular ties to this specific episode. --WillMak050389 01:14, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Episode In-Joke?

The crew go to Roswell - Area 51 - in this episode. Look at the Episode number: 51! A-Ha! I see what they did there!

Plot Synopsis

I edited out the "In this episode" prelude, since none of the other plot synopses start that way. I also edited some of it to sound less ackward and to add more detail. I don't want to be called on vandalism, so that is why I'm saying it here, since I just watched the episode. --chewbacca1010

Even more incest:

Fry's parent (what ever one it was) inwhich fry himself fathered, would be engaging in incest of his own when concieving Philip and Yancy with their spouse who is also their own grandparent.

Ergo: if one of fry's parents has 50% of their son's genetic makeup they also have 25% of their own genetic makeup and 25% of their own spouses.--Greasysteve13 04:27, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I am fairly certain that people have 100% of their own "genetic makeup" (Mendel's eyeliner?).
