* Once the news about the Signal is made public, there is an unsurprising uproar, and a huge crowd gathers around Halloway's observatory. There was a scene when she passes through a crowd of all manner of loonies, from [[NewAgeRetroHippie tinfoil-hat neohippies]], to "Jesus was an alien" cults, to a Chevrolet Vega fanclub.
* The ElvisImpersonator chanting "Viva Las Vega" was kinda awesome, too.
* Everyone's "{{oh crap}}" look when the deciphered signal turns out to be a [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi]] broadcast.
** Which leads to Neo-Nazis protesting that "Hitler lives on Vega"
* When Ken arrives at the second "Machine", he passes by the National Security Advisor and remarks "Nice to smell you again, Mr. Kitz." Kitz replies "You too."
** As Palmer leads him to a chair, he identifies that Kitz is wearing Polo cologne.
