* BrickJoke: In ''Full Release'', Jack invites the cast over to watch the Lost/Stolen Episode. When inviting Wray, he mentions that Stutter, who has a vendetta against Wray, is already there, but that Jack has hidden all the knives. Two episodes later in ''Too Much Closure for Comfort'', Stutter ties Wray up, and threatens him with... a cake server.

* FormerlyFat and FormerlyFit: Brenda. During the filming of ''Spectrum'', she was fit, but by the present day, she's fat. Pounder's Weight Loss hired her as a spokesperson, and they would pay her $10000 for every pound she lost. Instead, she gained 150 pounds, and as per her contract, '''she''' owes '''them''' $1500000. By season two, she's lost all but the last seven points ($70000), but that remaining fat is concentrated entirely on her neck.
* GetOut: Wray does a subdued version of this in ''Back to the Past'' when Bobby, Stutter, Tiffany and Brenda all intrude into his hotel room [[DysfunctionJunction with all their problems]].
-->'''Wray:''' Hey, uh, everybody? I want, I really want you ... to get out.
* MessyHair: Ever since he was outed [[spoiler:as a Republican]], no hairdresser will give Stutter a haircut, which is one of the main reasons for his vendetta against Wray. Fortunately, Faith solves the issue due to knowing a [[spoiler:born again Christian]] hairdresser.
* NeverFoundTheBody: Bruise Camp Bell, the only ''Spectrum'' cast member that doesn't appear in the present day, disappeared under unknown circumstances. The authorities believe that the sharks got him.

* {{Pixellation}}: At the start of ''Full Release'', Wray [[NotWearingPantsDream dreams that he is naked]] as his ''Spectrum'' character, Cash. He is censored like this, but Wray/Cash can see the pixellation. Attempting to touch the pixels causes it to spread up his arms, and eventually over his entire body.

* StylisticSuck: The ''Spectrum'' Lost/Stolen Episode. The show was cancelled part way through filming the episode, and the creator took the footage. Many years later, he released it, but had to fill in the gaps somehow, and chose to do so with look-alike Dutch actors, crude animation and shadow puppets. Of particular note is a scene where Dutch!Raaker is blown back in an explosion, and visibly lands on a gym mat. The camera then pans to Dutch!Chu for a reaction shot, and lingers a bit too long, to give time for the gym mat to be removed by the time the camera pans back. Meanwhile, Dutch!Wayne is giving a countdown to a hyperspace jump over the intercom, but the countdown [[MagicCountdown jumps back up a few times]], in order to stretch out to the length of the shot (and the jump actually happens on negative one). The broadcast also left in advertisements, "as a commentary on the obsolescence of advertiser based funding".

Many years later, ''Spectrum'' still has fans, and Wray's costar, Jack Moore (Creator/NathanFillion), who played Captain James Raaker, lives the life Wray wishes he had.

** Creator/SeanMaher appears and talks about his time as Simon Tam from ''Series/{{Firefly}}''. This brings into question who played Captain Malcolm Reynolds and Hoban Washburne in this universe. (Since ''Spectrum'' is a thinly-disguised ersatz version of ''Firefly'', it risks unravelling the whole conceit of the series.)
