* RealAfterAll: In a sense. Eduardo at first thinks Craniac, Corpuscle and Gristle were real all along and Kline simply chose to write about them. Kylie suggests, and is later proven right, they are the Vathek, beings who only turn real if they are written about.

** While Eduardo's honest opinion can come off as his usual snarky attitude, his feedback on Garrett's manuscript suggests Garrett is not a very creative or impressive writer. This is shown later when he takes the typewriter from Kline to rewrite the story. While his more comical writing does save Roland from the Vathek, notice that when writing about the above monkeys that Garrett pauses in his words, as well not bothering to type something like, say, turning the Vathek to stone, rather just inconveniencing them. Then, when he attempts one last time to finish the book in the Ghostbusters' favor, he's unable to come up with anything and Eduardo has to destroy the typewriter. This is solidified at the end of the episode, in which his manuscript has numerous rejection notices.
** Whenever Garrett takes the typewriter, Kline has a notably annoyed look on his face. While this can be described as him thinking Garrett is going to get him trouble, it also suggests he genuinely find Garrett annoying. At the end of the episode, in Kline's new book, he described Garrett as the "loud mouthed guy in the wheelchair", much to Garrett's anger.
