Trivia[]
- The episode's title is a reference to Dorothy Gale's famous quote from The Wizard of Oz: "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore".
- Coincidentally, Kansas is Clark Kent's adopted home state.
- This episode's sub-plot is similar to the plot of the Arrow episode "Spectre of the Gun"; in both cases, the issue of gun control is brought to light and dealt with.
- On Argo City, Kara reunites with her childhood friend, Thara Ak-Var. In the comics, Thara becomes the latest incarnation of the Kryptonian hero Flamebird.
- In a nod to 1978s's Superman, James Olsen calls out, "Ms. Teschmacher!" in the same way that Lex Luthor did in the film, which is a running gag in the show.
- Eve is revealed to be an accomplished scientist who studied nuclear physics in college, and later becomes Lena's research assistant. This is a nod to Superman, where Eve acts ditzy around her boss, Lex, but reads philosophy when he's not around.
- Samantha and Ruby watch Singin' in the Rain at the end.
- This marks the third time Singin' in the Rain has appeared in the Arrowverse, with Arrow being the only show not to feature this musical.
Goofs[]
- Winn compares the damage of a masterpiece technology to the loss of several Picassos in the sinking of the Titanic. In real life, no Picassos were aboard the Titanic.
- The movie Titanic showed an imitation of Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, contributing to the myth that there were Picassos on the ship.
- When Guardian was being fired upon by an automatic weapon, the bullets' impact on his shield would not push him backwards. By Newton's 3rd Law, if the bullets could push Guardian back, the shooter would have been hurled backwards as well.
- The D.E.O. weapon appears to be an M4 Rifle, which is the standard issue weapon for the US Army. The M4 uses 5.56×45mm NATO rounds, which is a variant of the .223 Remington. The weapon manufacturer states that they sell a non automatic version for hunting, but J'onn says it's not a hunting weapon. On the other hand, the minimum caliber for deer hunting is .223, which is what the M4 uses, so it could be used for that. It appears the weapon is using some version of armor piercing rounds, which would not be produced by the weapon manufacturer, so the D.E.O. should have been trying to track down the source of the bullets.
- When Kara and Mon-El are talking in the greenhouse on Argo, birds can be seen in the trees, but Kara previously stated there were no birds on Krypton.[1]
