...Different Destinations - S3-E5

Trivia: While they're waiting for the Venek Horde to attack again, when John is chained to the statue, Harvey/Scorpius is playing the harmonica with his feet up on John's lap. Notice that both soles of Harvey's red boots have the name "Andy" written on them. In "Toy Story" Woody's boot has "Andy" written on its sole, and here in John's mind it's to signify John's ownership of the neural clone.

Won't Get Fooled Again - S2-E15

Trivia: The following can be seen in this episode, though they only occur in John's head due to being in a Scarran induced delusional state. After John kisses Logan-Rygel on the lips, he runs up the stairs carrying Logan-Rygel while shouting, "Let me show you how I crash landed the Farscape module!" and when John swings Logan-Rygel around imitating Farscape 1's flight, the left hand/wrist is pulled from the sleeve and we can see the puppet's non-existent arm. Later, when John's mother comes to see him at the hospital the boom mic dips into view above her. Then when John walks into Logan-Rygel's office while everyone is there, we can see the puppeteer's movement on the floor in front of Rygel.

Big Hero 6 (2014)

Trivia: After Lt. Commander Queeg's curt briefing with senior officers he assigns orders to Ensign Keith regarding sailors' shirttails, hair length, and facial hair, and when Queeg leaves them Ensign Keith says, "Well, he's certainly Navy," and Lieutenant Keefer responds, "Yeah, so was Captain Bligh." This foreshadows the events to come, as it alludes to 1789's mutiny aboard the HMS Bounty of The Royal Navy, against its captain, William Bligh.

Promotion - S3-E7

Trivia: While Roy is seriously considering the promotion to engineer, he climbs into Engine 51's driver's seat, which is a very poignant moment for the show, and it's the only time during the run of the series that we ever see anyone sitting in the Ward LaFrance driver's seat other than Mike Stoker, who was a real FD engineer, or the other real FD engineers who drove the rig on screen.

Season 5 generally

Trivia: Set in 1924, a few publicity shots of the Series 5 cast members, new and old, were rolled out, and one promotional photo in particular was quite revealing. Sitting on the mantelpiece behind cast members Hugh Bonneville and Laura Carmichael, who play the Earl of Grantham and Lady Edith, was a modern-day plastic bottle of water.

Insanity Epidemic - S6-E14

Trivia: When the pickup truck, and later both Engine 51 and Squad 51, drive down the street before turning into the gas station lot, we can see the Pickwick Recreation Center entrance on the left, which is where Station 51 will be dispatched to for an 'unknown type rescue' at the skating rink, later in the episode. And later, when the guys drive down the street before turning into the Pickwick lot, we can see that gas station on the right in the background. It's the unusual looking building between the gas station and the Pickwick entrance that makes this more noticeable.

Simple Adjustment - S5-E10

Trivia: At the end, when Johnny's tape recorder idea doesn't quite work out the way he and Roy had hoped, Johnny gets very flustered and frustrated with the recorder, and sets it down on the table, then Johnny looks right up into the camera lens and gives viewers an indescribable look, thereby "breaking the fourth wall."

And when Roy answers, "Sadie", John smiles at the plant and says, "Hey, Sadie, how you doing?" Sadie is Mantooth's mother's name.

Limelight - S6-E24

Trivia: During dinner Johnny's voice is hoarse again, and after watching the news that incorrectly stated that Brice rescued the other firemen, when it really was the other way around, Roy makes a crack about Johnny never sounding better which irks Johnny, and as the scene closes he looks up at the camera with quite a perturbed look directed at the TV audience, which "breaks the fourth wall."
