* Just the fact that Gene didn't tell anybody about how sick he was in mid-1998 through early 1999. Only his closest family knew he was terminal. Even Roger was in the dark, convinced he would be returning for the fall 1999 season. It took a family member of Gene's to call him and reveal he was dying and that if you want to see him one last time, you better do it now.

** Similarly, in the ''At the Movies'' (1982) episode "Movies That Changed the Movies", Roger said "See you in twenty years" when arguing that Matt Dillon would be a big star. While Roger made it to 2004, Gene did not.

* In hindsight: When they reviewed ''WesternAnimation/BatmanMaskOfThePhantasm'', both liked the film and Siskel wanted to see more films from this same production team. Well, aside from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanAndMisterFreezeSubZero'', [[WesternAnimation/DCUniverseAnimatedOriginalMovies the vast majority of these films]] came out after Siskel's death, so he never got to experience them.

* Crossed with Heartwarming: At the end of the ''Freejack'' review, Roger jokes about how it would be amazing to wake up in 20 years and still be sitting across from Gene. Gene retorts that just waking up and it being 20 years later would be amazing too. By the time 20 years passed from that weekend, Gene was gone for over 13 years and Roger had less than a year left.

Luckily they saw ''Film/SayAnything'' the same day and had their faith restored, but it's one of the rare moments where they get philosophical about sitting through bad movies.

Okay, Gene, what do I know for sure about you? Well, you were one of the smartest, funniest, quickest men I've ever known, and one of the best reporters. It was almost impossible to tell you anything you didn't already know. Your friend, Bob Green, wrote in the paper that sometimes you seemed like a wise old man, and on other days, you seemed eleven years old. And I know for sure that seeing a truly great movie made you so happy that you'd tell me a week later your spirits were still high. I know you are a man who loved your family deeply and fiercely, your wife, Marleen, your teenage daughters, and your young son. When we were honored last April by the Museum of Broadcast Communications, only a month before your surgery, I remember that you had a special message for your girls:\\
