Trivia: Dolores tells William: "They say great beasts once roamed this world, as big as mountains, but all that's left of them is bone and amber." This is a general allusion to dinosaurs, of course; but, more specifically, it's a tip-of-the-hat to "Jurassic Park," by author Michael Crichton, who also wrote The Original "Westworld." The theme of most of Crichton's science fiction was human shortsightedness resulting in scientific nightmares. Crichton's "Westworld" and "Jurassic Park" are virtually identical stories about scientific amusement parks running amok.
This One Time at Space Camp... - S4-E18
Trivia: At the 1990 Space Camp, the Awesome Possums say the "way of thermal propulsion" is "Thrust first! Thrust hard! No mercy!" This is play on the 1984 film, "Karate Kid" where Cobra Kai students say the "way of the fist" is "Strike first! Strike hard! No mercy!"
Mega Mission - S1-E1
Trivia: Gosei says to the rangers,"My mentor, Zordon, placed me here to be guardian of this planet." Zordon was the mentor for the original rangers to the first half of Turbo and was killed in the finale of In Space.
Trivia: Cameron meets a prototype robot that smiles and waves at her in in the exhibition outside the chess tournament. Briefly visible on its control screen, alongside basic commands, is the word "BladeRunner", a reference to the classic sci-fi film which also features a dystopian future populated by humanoid robots.
Trivia: Walter Koenig's recurring Psi Corps character, Bester, was named in honor of science fiction writer Alfred Bester, who coined the term "psi cop" in one of his many novels about psychic manipulation.
Trees Made of Glass (1) - S1-E1
Trivia: In "Trees Made of Glass, Part 1", Gunneson (William Mapother) is shot in the chest four times by Caffrey. William Mapother previously played Ethan Rom on Lost, who was killed by four shots to the chest.
Sins of the Fathers Chapter 9: Tombstone - S3-E9
Trivia: When Spider-Man saves Tombstone from falling into a bubbling vat he jokes about him coming out with "green hair." Clearly that's a joke referencing DC comics' Joker.
The Forms of Things Unknown - S1-E32
Trivia: This is the only Outer Limits episode that lacks both opening and closing narration. It was absent because "Forms" was the unsold pilot for a series called The Unknown. A second version, stripped of all its supernatural elements (Tone was simply a mad scientist, not a real time traveler), also failed to sell.
Trivia: For some reason there is a picture of Batman's eye on Miss Parker's desk. It is between the picture of her and her father and a candy bowl. It looks like the Val Kilmer Batman, but I'm not sure. (00:00:25)
Trivia: This is the TV version of the two made-for-television films.
Trivia: The name of Byers' father is Bertram. In The X Files episode, "The Unusual Suspects," Byers tells the police that his name is John Fitzgerald Byers, born on 11/22/63, and that before JFK's assassination, his parents were going to name him Bertram.
Trivia: The same actor who portrays Principal Hackett also plays Curtis the Caveman.
II (The Samurai called Jack) - S1-E2
Trivia: Some of the dogs working at the mine look like ones from "2 Stupid Dogs".
Trivia: The anime TV series, originally scheduled to debut on Japanese television in October 2001, was delayed in respect for the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States. The Japanese release of an anime TV series about teenagers fighting international terrorists was considered tactless so soon after the attacks against the U.S. by international terrorists. It was released January 8, 2002, three months after its originally announced premier date.
All-New Halloween Spooktacular! - S1-E6
Trivia: When Pietro says he'll help the twins maximise their candy acquisition, one twin says "Kick-ass!" and Wanda repeats to herself "kick-ass." Both Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who played Pietro in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Evan Peters, who plays "Pietro" in WandaVision and the recent X-Men films, both starred in Kick-Ass.
Trivia: Robin Williams improvised so much of his dialogue that the show's writers finally stopped writing his lines and just left blank space in the scripts with cues and prompts for him.
Suggested correction: I'm researching Mork and Mindy for a feature. Contemporary interviews say Robin Williams was given leeway to improvise but this was only about 5% of an episode. These were probably done in rehearsals and incorporated into the final scripts. It would be impossible to film each episode if Williams wholly improvised as the cameras wouldn't know if he was going to hit his marks (i.e. where any actor needs to be so is in frame) and for other cast to react to. So partly true but not the whole story.
Trivia: Richard Gunn's character was nicknamed 'Skectchy" but is 'real' name was Alvin Simon Theodore- the same as the three cartoon chipmunks. Also Normal's name on the show was Reagan Ronald after former president Ronald Reagan.
Trivia: Nero, the pet "hairy caterpillar creature" of Baron Greenback speaks in a strange gibberish. In fact this 'gibberish' is a recording of David Jason (who also provided the voice of Dangermouse, amongst others) albeit it speeded up and played backwards.
