YMMV / The Magic School Bus S 2 E 11 Out Of This World

• Aluminum Christmas Trees: Yes, When Worlds Collide is a real science-fiction movie.
• Fridge Horror: To drag the asteroid into a new orbit, the kids increased the bus's size to that of the moon. Consider the tidal effects of such a massive object suddenly appearing in Earth's orbit, and you get the feeling that our protagonists are going to have a lot more to worry about than an asteroid hitting their school.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: The episode is a Star Trek homage, mostly to Star Trek: The Original Series, but the bus's spaceship form looks surprisingly similar to the NX-01 from six years later.
