A Little Bit of England - S2-E13
Trivia: Although they play father and daughter in this episode, Ernie Hudson is only eleven years older than Sheryl Lee Ralph.
Chapter 11 - S2-E3
Trivia: The idea of "mental contamination" mentioned at the start of the episode is real, and the demonstration using cheerleaders is based on fact. 5 cheerleaders and 5 other students had seizures in a town in 2002, in 1952 165 cheerleaders fainted before half time at a football game. A famous incident was in Le Roy in 2011 - those who were featured in the press took longer to recover than those who didn't, suggesting a strong social/communication basis.
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.
Batman VS Iron Man (DC VS Marvel) - S4-E10
Trivia: The car that Batman slides over when avoiding Iron Man's blasts is the same car from the mini game in Street Fighter II, where players would beat up the car and tear it apart as fast as possible for more points. (00:04:43)
Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Two - S1-E9
Trivia: The version of Batman played by famous Bat-voice Kevin Conroy is a darker version of that from the graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns. The line "the world only makes sense when you force it to" is a version of a line from that comic (also used in Batman V Superman), also "Clark always said yes to anything with a badge or a flag." There are also elements from Batman Beyond, which first aired in 1999 (hence Earth-99), in which Conroy voiced an older Bruce Wayne mentoring a new Batman. The whole scene is full of nods to other versions - describing Kryptonite as "a little souvenir from the old hometown" is a Lex Luthor line from the original Superman movie, and him describing Superman as "strange visitor from another planet, with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men" comes from Superman serials from the 40s and 50s.
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: 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.
The Return of the Beast: Part 1 - S1-E1
Trivia: When we see the flashback of the accident that caused Bruce Banner to become the Hulk, at first we see the Hulk colored gray and then slowly turn green. This is a reference to the comics, in which the Hulk was gray in his original appearance.
Trivia: This is the first Power Rangers season that wasn't dubbed in Japanese.
She Was Killed by Space Junk - S1-E3
Trivia: The Doctor Manhattan - themed sex toy that Laurie receives is called "Excalibur." This is a clue to Doctor Manhattan actually being Cal Abar, i.e. when he returns to his Doctor Manhattan form, he is "ex Cal Abar".
Trivia: Elise's parents, Don and Elise Sr. Are played by Michael Gross and Meredith Baxter. Gross and Baxter played husband and wife in the TV show "Family Ties" where Meredith Baxter played a character named Elyse.
Trivia: This show pays many homages to the 1968 film Bullitt which was also set in San Francisco. Firstly officer Rebecca Madsen's car is the exact same make, colour, and model Mustang that Steve McQueen drove in Bullitt. Also the final episode (Tommy Madsen) features a car chase which recreates many shots from the 1968 film. It even includes the green Beetle Volkswagen coming down the hill as seen in the movie.
Trivia: Tyler Hoechlin, who plays Clark Kent, is only 14 years older than Jordan Elsass, who plays his son Jonathan Kent.
Trivia: Daily Mail journalist Frederick McKenzie takes a photo of the Righteous Army, which is stated to be the only existing photo of Korea's freedom fighters. This photo is a direct recreation of a real-life photo of the Righteous Army, taken by Frederick McKenzie (who was a real-life war journalist) and is to date, the only existing photo of Korea's freedom fighters.

If This Be... M.O.D.O.K.! - S1-E1
Trivia: When M.O.D.O.K. and Austin are out on town, the places they visit make references to several other Marvel characters. The dragon that is serving them in the restaurant is Fin Fang Foom. The concert they are next shown to be attending is advertising Lila Cheney, who in the comics is a mutant who can teleport over interstellar distances. Lastly, the arcade belongs to Arcade, who is primarily an enemy of the X-Men. (00:10:27 - 00:10:58)
Trivia: The unused script of the final fight between Ultraman and Zetton was entirely different, as it shows Zetton ripping apart Ultraman's colour timer. In the end, Zoffy will save Ultraman and defeat Zetton. However, the writing team decided not to use it because it was deemed too violent, and it portrayed Ultraman, the main hero, being cut. This alternate ending can also be seen in the game Ultraman Fighting Evolution 3 during the Ultraman vs Zetton mission.
