Dealing with goofs and contradictions
Most fans deal with goofs and contradictions over episodes as it was not known until later (e.g. Farnsworth mentions there is only two parallel universes in I Dated a Robot, but in the The Farnsworth Parabox a lot more parallel universes are revealed to exist), the case here is slightly different (e.g. Bender mentions in Crimes of the Hot that he cannot get up when on his back, but in many episodes he does that, but this is because he was slightly on the side) or simply accept that the writers did not thought it up before later (e.g. "Star Trek" is mentioned in Space Pilot 3000 ("Just like in Star Trek"), Brannigan, Begin Again ("Or like the Federation from your Star Trek program") and I Dated a Robot (Old-TREK-vs-new-TREK community is seen on the Internet), but in Where No Fan has Gone Before it is revealed that saying Star Trek is forbidden).
