* The Catians' [[TheNudifier Nudifier]] weapons are described as "anti-matter". {{Antimatter}} [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} does not work that way]]. A weapon firing actual antimatter would release deadly doses of radiation when annihilating anything, and be far more deadly than any Earth weapon. The series does not even [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] this, unlike all the other AcceptableBreaksFromReality they have deliberately made and had fun with under RuleOfCool. That is because they are not ''antimatter'' weapons (weapons using antimatter), they are anti-'''matter''' weapons (weapons that only affect inert matter, as opposed to anti-personnel weapons that kill people).

* Keeping a Catian from going into heat would be relatively easy for a species that can [[spoiler: change their genetics on the fly]]. It would not be significantly more complicated than modern birth-control methods that prevent periods. The [[WatsonianVsDoylist Doylist]] explanation for why they do not do it is {{Fanservice}}. But the Watsonian explanation is exactly the same, just targeted differently. The reason Eris keeps going into heat is because she enjoys it, and trying to mandate that sort of thing from above would be like [[IncrediblyLamePun herding cats]].

** Justified: the Japanese word for the planet Earth is ''chikyuu'', meaning "earth/ground sphere". A name like this would be pretty universal, no matter the language.

* The Catians homeworld name is ''Earth'' and his habitants are called ''Earthlings'', Catia is the name they adopted to avoid confusions whit the humans. What a race would call the land they walk before before realising it's a celestial body?

* The Catian mothership is dangerously large, so much so that if it [[ColonyDrop crashed into the Earth]] there would be an [[ApocalypseHow Extinction Level Event]]. This is an issue in the series for about one minute, before it's explained that they know this already, and they deliberately designed the ship to break up to prevent that from happening. So only those who are actually on the ship at the time are in any real danger. This way there can still be an epic rescue mission without making the ship designers look like reckless idiots.
