* ShoutOut: One of the bad things Carter's company did was to buy ''Website/{{Vine}}'' and shut it down. The clip of Lois telling Carter this is shown three times, referencing how the website used to only allow six-second clips when it was still active.

Actually, that "Right Brain, Left Brain" thing is mostly false (as can be read here), though Carter would develop paralysis on the left side of his body.


* ArtisticLicenseBiology: While a gunshot to the head is survivable (it might not seem like it, but depending on the angle and whether or not the bullet hits a part of the human brain needed for survival, it can happen), Carter's personality would've been severely damaged (i.e he would have lost his sense of inhibition, develop a low attention span and it would have damaged his mental processing abilities), but his memories wouldn't be affected. If the bullet hit his hippocampus then he would have developed anterograde amnesia, which would affect his ability to create new memories. Since the bullet hit the right side of his head, his non-verbal and intuitive abilities would be affected.
