4	** Beck and Cyrus are named after the Cyrus-Beck algorithm which serves for cutting lines going out of a rectangular space.
5	** Parts of the fandom who work in real-world computer repair have pointed out that Cyrus's OmnicidalManiac plan is ''exactly'' what you do with a hard drive that's too corrupted to save and that the whole Dyson-Tron rivalry is very much like what happens if you have two incompatible pieces of security software on a system.

14	* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Seven episodes in, it suddenly got postponed to October. The return lasted three episodes, just long enough to get the two-parter out of the way, before disappearing from the lineup again until December, where it got moved to midnight on Mondays. Short of not being aired at all, you cannot get much more screwed than that.
