Through the Rabbit Hole - S2-E1
Trivia: The boy's comment, "Everybody is kung fu fighting" at the ruined school dance, refers to Carl Douglas' song of the same name from 1974, two years before this episode takes place, following the fledging martial arts craze in America. This song has recently (in a slight variation) resurfaced in Kung Fu Panda.
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: The Doctor comes to Nevada in search of "A bowl of chili. The sort you only ever got in an American diner before 1962." During the 1960s, Chasen's Restaurant in Hollywood made a chili that became highly sought-after by celebrities (Elizabeth Taylor had some flown to Rome when she was making "Cleopatra."). Diners started changing their chili recipes in attempts to duplicate Chasen's secret recipe. This is why The Doctor had to go back to the 1950s in search of a bowl of old-fashioned American chili.

Trivia: This is a flashback episode and contains only four minutes of new material. The remaining 18.5 minutes is footage from the episodes "The Most Special Agent", "Hi-Jacked" and "Colonel McClaine".
Trivia: "Kung Fu" was not canceled due to poor ratings, as it performed solidly during its run. It was canceled due to the physical stress and abuse on David Carradine's body, and it was wearing him out.
Trivia: When a Stormtrooper falls down into the mining pit after being shot by Ezra Bridger's energy slingshot, he yells the Wilhelm scream.
Trivia: Arseface is based on James Vance, a teenager who made a suicide pact with his friend Ray Belknap, after the two became intoxicated while listening to the band Judas Priest. Vance survived his suicide attempt, but was left with a horribly disfigured face. His parents went on to unsuccessfully sue Judas Priest, blaming the band for their son's suicide attempt.
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: For anyone curious, the quote "I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be until finally I became that person. Or he became me" was said by Cary Grant - to Pelia, clearly.
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.
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: Prior to this series going into production, HBO greenlit a series called "Bloodmoon." It was set in the Age of Heroes, around 5,000 years before the events of Game of Thrones, and starred Naomi Watts in the lead role. The project was shelved after the pilot was shot.
