* When asked about the status of the next History of the Power Rangers episode in the Power Rangers' Christmas crossover with WebVideo/ObscurusLupa, Linkara stated that he was "Atop the Fourth Wall Linkara" and "Atop the Fourth Wall Linkara" did not recognize that show's existence. This makes sense because the Linkara character from AT4W wouldn't have time for secondary shows like H ot PR with his need to make magical devices, rebuild Pollo, increase the security of his apartment and repeatedly save the world.

Is that the same as ''Coast City''? Did Alec and Shana ''die'' when Hank Henshaw and Mongul destroy the town? Did their deaths ''drive Hal Jordan insane'' and push him to murder the entire Green Lantern Corps after merging with Parallax?

* A lesser bit of Fridge Brilliance: shortly before the Vyce saga ended, Lewis was chatting via Skype on LordKat's stream. The guys in the call were trying to guess how the ending of the story would play out; one of them joked, "90s Kid will defeat him!" Lewis became quiet for a moment, and then said, "Well...90s Kid plays a part in it." At the time, people in the chat assumed that Lewis was only referring to 90s Kid's role in defeating Lord Vyce; ''now'', however...

* Why is Lord Vyce such a dangerous villain? Because he uses both science and magic, just like Linkara. Vyce's shades are a combination of robotics and magic showing his skill in both areas. Linkara also uses both magic (Magic Gun, his spell book, etc.) and science (Pollo, Nimue, etc.). This is also why Linkara has little difficulty with most of his enemies. Dr. Insano and Dr. Linksano both focused on science and the SilentHill cult and the Gunslinger both focused on magic. Since they rely on just one of the two, it makes them weak in the other field allowing Linkara to one-up them. Lord Vyce however doesn't have this weakness since he specializes in both and requires more strategic thinking.[[spoiler: The same can be said about the entity since it's MissingNo, a computer glitch, with god-like powers.]]

** [[spoiler: This could also explain the "I'm not that thin" message and why Linkara had been making jabs at his own weight in several consecutive episodes prior to the Silent Hill comic reviews in 2011- not only is Missingno the heaviest Pokemon, it's also taking 90's Kid's form, and since he looks identical to Linkara- who's a bit on the heavy side- he's "not that thin!"]]

* In the review of ''[[VideoGame/{{Doom}} Doom #1]]'', 90's Kid claims that the game was an accurate account about space marines fighting the demons of Mars "back during World War II". Some might dismiss this as 90's Kid [[ArtisticLicenseHistory slacking off with his history]], but it could also be a reference to the second game, which featured bonus levels based on the WW2 first-person shooter ''Wolfenstein 3D'', which shares the same developers--and universe--as the ''Doom'' series.

* At the end of his look at Marvel's crossover event Civil War, Linkara explains his stance on the comic's main debate: He would be against forced registration, but would accept voluntary registration of superheroes. This ties into the storyline, where it's explained that due to all the bizarre happenings around Linkara, the government wanted him assassinated until a reasonable authority figure (Allen) managed to create ties with him, making the interactions smoother. In some way, Linkara has lived it; a government that very suddenly tries to deal, without much tact, with a rising problem involving powered individuals who have the potential to cause great damage - and he found his own solution (build actual links of trust with someone there, like a form of "voluntary registration").

* 90's Kids and Harvey are both tied to two major eras of comics. 90's kids is obvious, given the 90's was a major turning point for comics for many ways, often worst. Harvey however comes from the 50's, when DC began the Silver Age. However like 90's kid Harvey's time brought something bad to comics as a whole: the Comics Code Authority.

* Linkara tends to include a bit of foreshadowing in 1 arc before the next one in at least 1 episode. A small detail that becomes important later. The brilliance for me came from hearing about the communications lost while Linkara was wandering around. Namely that Holokara wasn't responsible for that. It was just an odd thing that happened. Now an arc later, we now can recognize that as a symptom of [[spoiler: Lord Vice messing with Nimue.]]

Okay....but we saw 90's kids clearly try to open a door only for it to be jammed shut for real. How exactly did it keep the door shut even when it was unlocked? Let's hope it was a hallucination because then that could raise whole new scary implications.
