Trivia: A sequel to the original film, titled "The Power of the Dark Crystal," was initially planned. However, the film spent many years in development hell with several different writers and directors being attached at different points. Eventually, French director Louis Letterier became attached to the project around 2012, and it was subsequently retooled into this prequel series for Netflix. "The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance" was finally released in the Summer of 2019 - almost 37 years after the original debuted in Winter, 1982.
Trivia: **SPOILERS** When the demon takes over Ciri's body she dreams about being back at the party her grandmother had at their castle, and she sees her grandmother, Mousesack, her mother and her father. When she starts to question if it's really her grandmother, Mousesack and her mother all turn to ash and blow away. If you pay attention, you'll notice that her father does not turn to ash which is a foreshadow for later when it's revealed that he is in fact still alive.
Trivia: In the pilot of the first series, "Tomkinson's Schooldays," Michael Palin introduces the episode wearing a full black beard, a black poet hat and a black opera cape; but Palin repeatedly bungles his lines and must be coached (by an off-camera Terry Jones) through every word of his introduction. Palin affects the same costume and character to introduce the first episode of the second series, "Whinfrey's Last Case," as well. In both instances, Michael Palin and Terry Jones were mocking the legendary American filmmaker Orson Welles, a heavy drinker who was notoriously difficult to direct and who had descended to appearing in wine commercials on TV by the 1970s.
Trivia: S01e9, "Bitter Sweethearts", features Tom Arnold playing Arnie Orwig. Tom Arnold starred in the "True Lies" film. The name Arnie could be a reference to his "True Lies" co-star Arnold Schwarzenegger (who is sometimes called Arnie") or his "Roseanne" character, Arnie Thomas.
Trivia: Ben Barnes plays Frank Castle's friend Billy Russo. In Stardust he played the father of Charlie Cox, who plays Daredevil in another Marvel/Netflix series.
Trivia: The voice of Onizuka in the English dub of the series is provided by Steve Blum. However, he had to use an alias ("David Lucas") due to the show being a non-union job. Blum has since jokingly denied that he and Lucas are the same person, despite it being a well-known fact that they are.
Trivia: Dio in this episode drinks Cronenberg Whisky, just like in the manga. The fictional brand is most likely a homage to the director David Cronenberg, especially given the bit of 'body horror' appearing in this arc.
Kiseki no fukkatsu! Yuyo no cosmo - S1-E5
Trivia: When Seiya falls down during the victory celebration and the three kids scream (the shot that comes before the one where Miho drops the picture) you can see briefly in the audience between the kids an easter egg appearance of Magical Princess Minky Momo, a character from a different anime. (00:13:50)
The Scorn of the Star Sapphire! - S3-E5
Trivia: After freeing Miss Taylor from the grip of Star Sapphire, Green Lantern encases her in a green energy box and flies her away. The box is shaped almost exactly like a shuttle craft from Star Trek. (00:15:50)
Trivia: This episode marks the first onscreen appearance of Storm's End, the seat of House Baratheon. It was regularly mentioned in Game of Thrones, but never seen.
Trivia: Jeannie Epper, Lynda Carter's stunt double's son, was bullied in school by his peers who didn't believe his mother played Wonder Woman. Lynda Carter heard this and invited them to the set.
Trivia: All through the run of the first season, the multiple banks of red, white, and black input keys have no numbers, letters, or symbols of any kind, but information can be accurately input.
Trivia: Lars Mikkelsen, who plays Grand Admiral Thrawn and voiced him in Star Wars: Rebels, is the older brother of Mads Mikkelsen, who played Galen Erso in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Trivia: Some fans of the source material expressed outrage over the depiction of the Harfoots being portrayed by black actors, arguing that it did not fit with Tolkien's vision. Author Neil Gaiman quickly pointed out on Twitter that Tolkien described the Harfoots as having browner skin than other Hobbits.
Trivia: The planet that the Riker family settles on is called Nepenthe. A magical potion mentioned in Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven," originally from "The Odyssey," with the power to cure grief and sorrow. A fitting name for a place to try to forget the loss of a child.
