* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: This is by far the most random Tilly has been for her character, as she is lulled into an alternate universe delusion by the 3D glasses and doesn't even understand what they really do. In later episodes, she's more competent and responsible for herself.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: This is the first appearance of the interior of Gloria's apartment, and two major differences set it apart from its later appearances:
** Gloria is shown to keep a budgie; in all later episodes, it is a larger parakeet.
** The area around Gloria's armchair is vastly different than its appearance in "Coffee Quest" and "Elevator Action", specifically it's next to a window and outlet instead of just a solid wall. And the decor around it is different.
