The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Trivia: When Kuraki attempts to put the letter in Tintin's mail box before getting ambushed, the mailbox next to Tintin's is labelled Herge, the creator of Tintin. (00:05:40)
Trivia: The song playing on the radio when Rosebud breaks in, 'I'd Take a Bite of the Moon For You,' references the episodes 'Alone Together' and 'Tick Vs. Chairface Chippendale.' The song playing when El Seed breaks into the botanical gardens is a jazzy version of the show's theme song.
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: The paint job of the Zhu Li is reminiscent to the way ships were painted in WWI. The Americans and the British did this because they thought it would make it more difficult for the Germans to estimate their speed and heading.
Trivia: Tyler Hoechlin, who plays Clark Kent, is only 14 years older than Jordan Elsass, who plays his son Jonathan Kent.
Trivia: At the hospital while Colleen has Misty behind her there is a board with the name E. Wirtham aka Cardiac, an anti hero in the Marvel universe.
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.
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.
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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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.
