Fanfic

  • Arc Fatigue: The overarching arc of Jack and Maddie's trial takes over two hundred chapters to get to. Since the amount of time that passes In-Universe is at most a month, this came into play because it made the story feel like it was moving painstakingly slow.
  • Genius Bonus: Azalea offhandedly cautions that she's an advocate, not a philosopher, only to be interrupted by Wolfsbane reminding her that they are philosophers, having studied under a third advocate, Hemlock, before his death. Socrates was famously executed by being forced to drink hemlock, making his chosen name a rather morbid in-joke.
    • Nephthys, in explaining how a certain structure functions as a sort of ghostly antenna, brings up a Serbian scientist ghost who was astonished to find that out. On further prompting, she says he had a rivalry with an American who was his boss before they died. Nikola Tesla spent his life attempting to develop a system for wireless communication.

Series

  • Retroactive Recognition:
    • Callie Jacob is Brittany.
    • One of Brittany's non-speaking Girl Posse is Kim Sertori. This is a rare example where the two shows actually aired at the same time, with the episode where she appears airing on the very same date as the pilot of the show that featured her in a more prominent role.
