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.
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: 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: 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: This series was intended to serve as a "sequel" to the 1995 feature-film, though it was later disregarded by the theatrical sequel "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation."
