Quotes
"You know what else is considered a myth? Aliens! And yet..."
- —Blades makes a good point.
"Then my nightmare would undoubtedly contain a town where nobody broke the law, rendering me useless."
"Mine would be cumulus clouds. Seriously, they're nature's shapeshifters."
- —Chase and Blades
"So they're basically walking cartoons?"
"GASP! Cartoons aren't real?"
- —Dani and Blades
Notes
Animation and technical errors
- Doc Greene says the sleep chamber is sound-proofed, so why can we hear Kade snoring when he's in it?
Continuity errors
Continuity notes
Transformers references
- The Rescue Bots' energon power sources make them immune to the gremlins' energy draining abilities.
Real-world references
- Gremlins are, in fact, a popular piece of "modern" folklore. Royal Air Force service members began to reference them in the 1920s, and they were popularized during World War II when pilots on both sides of the European Theater began suffering large numbers of inexplicable difficulties with their respective aircraft. (Wikipedia article)
- The gremlins in this story owe a lot to the 1984 Gremlins film produced by Steven Spielberg.
- As Blades points out a shark-shaped cloud, a chord from the Jaws theme plays.
