6	----
7	!!Tropes:
8
9	* AreYouPonderingWhatImPondering: Needing the Wheel of Progress to spin, but sympathetic to Father Time's desire to be free, Star and Marco spy some giant hamsters, and Star asks, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" In this case, it's the silly idea that's used.
10	* ArtImitatesArt: The melting clocks on the Plains of Time are a reference to Creator/SalvadorDali's ''Art/ThePersistenceOfMemory''.
11	* BoredomMontage: The scene where Father Time's history is shown reveals he's literally done ''nothing'' but run on the Wheel of Progress.
12	* CompanionCube: Father Time names one of the rocks he finds "Rocksworth".
13	* ContinuityNod:
14	** Glossaryck appears again, and Marco references his last encounter with him in "[[Recap/StarVsTheForcesOfEvilS1E11Mewberty Mewberty]]" by muttering "Scrape the sides, buddy."
15	** One of the final clips of Star's history is of her taming a wild unicorn, pulled directly from "[[Recap/StarVsTheForcesOfEvilS1E1StarComesToEarth Star Comes to Earth]]".
16	** Star and Marco went to a birthday party in the family Charlie is staying in "[[Recap/StarVsTheForcesOfEvilS1E6TheOtherExchangeStudent The Other Exchange Student]]". Mr Diaz also wears the Viking helmet Charlie got him while in the shower.
17	* FountainOfYouth: Star and Marco get turned into babies by time magic, then get turned elderly by the same magic.
18	* HamsterWheelPower: The Wheel of Progress turns out to be a giant hamster wheel operated by Father Time. Eventually they find some giant hamsters to run the wheel, though not in the way you'd expect.
19	* HereWeGoAgain: Father Time freezes time again just to play in the mud.
20	* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: When Marco gets left with the head of an old man and the body of a baby when crossing the time stream, he tells Star "Not a word..."
21	* ManChild: Father Time acts like one, since he has spent eternity running on the Wheel of Progress, and has never experienced [[MundaneObjectAmazement things like mud and rocks]].
22	* NoodleIncident:
23	** Star and Marco once visited a dimension of cats with human faces.
24	** Some of the entries Star finds in her book suggests it isn't the first time [[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds a wand wielder accidentally disrupted a physical law of the multiverse]]. Apparently one princess had ''deleted gravity''.
25	* PatientChildhoodLoveInterest: Marco is revealed to have been crushing on Jackie since they were little. Then turns out he has yet to be more forward to her until the end.
26	* SpeedySnail: Father Time rides a very fast turtle; Star and Marco ride a rabbit in an attempt to catch him, only to find it's as slow as a turtle.
27	* TakeAThirdOption: Not wanting Father Time to just go back to running on the Wheel of Progress for all eternity, Marco finds some giant hamsters and suggest them as a solution. Star misunderstands and makes the wheel into a chariot pulled by the hamsters, which at least allows Father Time to explore instead of just staying in the same place.
28	* TimeStandsStill: The premise of this episode.
29	* TitleDrop: Star says the title upon freezing time.
30	* TotallyRadical: Father Time yells out "YOLO" when running away from Star and Marco, a word that most people consider to have gone out of style two years prior to the episode's original airdate.
