Winning a Battle, Losing the War - S1-E3
Trivia: Several times in this episode, jokes are made about the residents thinking George is gay. Isaiah Washington was later fired for making homophobic remarks about T.R. Knight.
Trivia: The theme tune heard for the show "Capital Beat" is actually the theme music for the UK's "News at Ten" on ITV.
Trivia: Danno was played by Tim O'Kelley in the 5-0 pilot. But a NY test audience told CBS they didn't buy him as a serious cop because he was too much of a "smart-cracking, Jimmy-Olsen-type gee-whiz kid." Leonard Freeman took the criticism to heart, and recast the part with James MacArthur for the series.
Trivia: The actress playing Jane, Susannah Harker, was quite heavily pregnant during the filming of the movie. This can be seen quite obviously in some scenes.
Trivia: Gaspard Ulliel, who portrays Anton Mogart, was involved in a fatal skiing accident the day after the trailer for this series debuted. The third episode is dedicated to his memory.
Trivia: Rain Robinson has a model of a DY-100 on the window sill in her office. In 1996 (also the year this episode is set), Kahn left Earth in the SS Botany Bay, a DY-100 class starship.
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.
Trivia: While reading the Anhkana, Ed compares its gruesome contents to writing by Bret Easton Ellis. Ellis is famous for having written the graphically violent novels on which American Psycho and its sequel The Rules of Attraction are based.
Trivia: Archie and Edith's easy-chairs are now on display at the Smithsonian.
Trivia: Despite the series being a critical darling and winning a number of prestigious awards, it was quietly cancelled during its third season in 2011, and network Showtime never gave a reason why the plug was pulled. Star Toni Collette has stated as recently as 2017 that she was still frustrated that the show had been cancelled, as she loved the series and the cast and thought it would have gone on at least a few more seasons.
Trivia: Linda Hamilton was pregnant during production and wanted to be written out of the show so her character Catherine was killed off at the end of Season 2. This caused ratings to drop and the show was cancelled halfway into Season 3.
Crisis on Earth-X, Part 3 - S4-E8
Trivia: Supergirl says to her doppelganger "General, can you step outside." That line was said by Superman in Superman II.
The Arrival - S1-E4
Trivia: Michael Cerveris makes his first significant appearance in this episode as The Observer/Bald Man. However if you watch the series from the beginning, he makes fleeting appearances in every episode, sometimes on a tv screen.
Trivia: Robert Forster filmed his scene in this episode at the same time that he filmed his scene in El Camino. He is having a phone conversation with Bob Odenkirk, but Odenkirk shot his part later. Unfortunately, Forster passed months earlier (coincidentally on El Camino's release date) and sadly never got to see his work in neither this nor El Camino.
Trivia: In one episode, Aaron Echolls mentions that he was voted People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive in 1987. Harry Hamlin, who plays Aaron, actually did earn that honor that year.
Trivia: Craig says that Manny reminded him of his 5 year old step sister, Angela. In real life Manny and Angela are sisters (Cassie and Alexa Steele).
