"Make Tracks"

I dunno- considering Victorion's "ultimate doom" comment in episode 3, I feel like the "make tracks" comment being an intentional reference isn't much of a stretch. But I guess we can wait to see if future episodes have similar episode name drops. --Nu-Priest (talk) 18:17, 10 December 2017 (EST)

Here's the thing: "Make tracks" is a very commonly used phrase. "Ultimate doom" is not. More than likely, it's just a coincidence. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 18:19, 10 December 2017 (EST)
I know it's a more common phrase, but like I said above- there's precedent for this sort of thing already. This seems just like the level of "clever" fan references this writing team would peddle. But again, I'm more than willing to wait and see and be proven wrong. --Nu-Priest (talk) 18:31, 10 December 2017 (EST)

Final scene

May I ask why the entire trivia bullet point was removed, instead of simply being edited? The scene is incredibly suggestive in nature, and that absurdity was the defining trait of the episode for many who watched it. It's not as if this wiki regularly shies away from that sort of topic (The Search for Alpha Trion, anybody?) and I tried my best to avoid using any overly explicit words in the description, not to mention only hinting at what the scene is suggesting, rather than outright using the, er, "r-word". To not give any mention to this would be an omission of an important part of the episode. -DuplexBeGreat (talk) 22:56, 16 June 2018 (EDT)

It really isn't. I only paid a cursory look at reception to this episode, but you're the only one pushing this narrative, and it's NOT important at all. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 23:12, 16 June 2018 (EDT)
What he said. Don't disguise your weird readings as "audience reaction". Saix (talk) 23:18, 16 June 2018 (EDT)
That... doesn't seem like a fair assessment. You say your friends didn't care about it, I say my friends did (they absolutely did, I swear to god I'm not inventing this out of my own imagination), and we don't get anywhere. That sort of evidence is purely circumstantial. What matters is whether the scene itself is actually of such an odd caliber or not. I'd argue that one group more or less not paying attention to the episode due to its overall low quality isn't really equal in magnitude to another group eagerly hacking apart everything bad about it and paying special attention to this scene. - DuplexBeGreat (talk) 23:20, 16 June 2018 (EDT)
