* While the [[{{https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2qZrz_3LOA}} "Conan the Librarian" segment]] qualifies on its concept alone (Literature/ConanTheBarbarian working in a public library as the person responsible for giving a young boy his first library card, or, as he calls it, "[[MundaneMadeAwesome the Card of Library]]"), Michael Dorn's [[TheComicallySerious performance as the titular character]] really sells it.

** The episode also features the only officially released TNG outtakes (until the blu-ray releases), the highlight of which is Creator/PatrickStewart's "Kill me now" expression after one too many flubs.

* The opening of the Kickstarter video, with kids and adults alike struck utterly speechless by Levar walking in and asking where a certain classroom is. And at the end, [[spoiler:Brent Spiner arrives to meet him and no one recognizes him.]]

Not only did [=LeVar=] do a CallBack to both Film/StarTrekIV (where a clueless Scotty tried talking to a computer mouse) and Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration by ''verbally asking a 18th century stove'' for hot Earl Grey tea (Captain Picard's preferred drink), the stove actually ''obliged'' (through the magic of video editing, complete with the teleportation VFX from ST:TNG).

** Also in this episode, the kids are asked about their favorite pizza toppings. Some of them answer with rather unusual things like candy and oysters. A boy has "another pizza" as his favorite topping.
