| 10 | %%* DepravedBisexual: Aleister Crowley. This is also TruthInTelevision. |
| 11 | * {{Reincarnation}}: After his experience in the VR suit, shy, stuttering professor Haddo becomes the bald, stout, and imposing Aleister Crowley. Crowley himself claimed to have been famous occultists and alchemists such as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliphas_Levi Eliphas Levi]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cagliostro Cagliostro]]. |
| 12 | * SoundtrackDissonance: In one scene, we are treated to the sight of Simon Callow as Creator/AleisterCrowley striding down a Cambridge University hallway to deliver a lecture while listening to the "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's ''Messiah''. It get weirder from there. |

| 14 | * UrineTrouble: Particularly when [[spoiler:Crowley pisses on Haddo's students during a lecture on Shakespeare after reciting "To pee, or not to pee?"]] |
