Does the prescense of Nibbler's shadow in the first epsiode mean that they planned the events that brought him to the future from the very begining of the series?

That's not normal: normal is coming home to find your mother nailed to a cross screaming verses from the book of Mormon, your dad performing a dark ritual with your brother as the sacrifice, and your sister getting railed by a goat.

It was in "The Why of Fry"! Nibbler went back in time to push (or "blow") Fry into the Freezer Box!

No he hasn't... He simply was there already, and lived long enough to be still alive in 3000. Fry came back in time, to prevent Nibbler from pushing him.

Box!

What about the eyestalk in the garbage can? Is that another Nibblonian? Nibbler from the future? The past?

I didn't ask if Nibbler went back in time.

So in other words, "Yes, Nibbler never went back in time."

But the real question should have been, "is Nibbler gay?"

I don't know. Maybe Nibblonians don't even HAVE sex, which makes the question moot. (They are a long-lived race, after all. Maybe they have cloning operations set up in case one of them passes on ...) -- Christopher Heckman

But how would Nibbler know in 1999 that Fry would need to be frozen, unless he'd visited the future himself?

perhaps someone told him... do Nibblonians have "Time-Phones" to communicate through time? maybe a sheet of paper would do the job as well :)

The Nibblonians had some sort of prophecy that said Fry would save the universe.

Yes. Nibbler told Fry that their sages had forseen Fry as being the only one who could save the universe 1000 years later.

Did the Nibbleronians know about the brains in 1999? Could they have known that Fry was immune to them?

The Nibblonians knew of the brain spawn for eons.(in The Day The Earth Stood Stupid). And their prophecy foretold to them that Fry would be Immune to them.

The brains were already there in 1999. If you recall, it was supposed to take the infosphere 1000 years to acquire all the knowledge in the universe. Then it would open and be vunerable to attack by Fry. In 1999, the brains had just constructed the infosphere.

Sorry. I thought when you said "him", you were referring to Nibbler. (Nibbler is the only being referred to in your sentence.) -- Christopher Heckman
