Trivia[]
- This episode, chronologically, is the first Arrowverse episode for a show set on Earth-1 to not have that universe appear. This was retroactively revealed by "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part One" in late 2019, where it was shown that the events of this episode actually took place in Earth-16, instead of in a potential future of Earth-1 as was originally believed.[2]
- These events occurring in an alternate universe could be hinted at in The Flash episode "Welcome to Earth-2", where Connor Hawke/Green Arrow appeared in the dimensional stream among other heroes of the multiverse such as Kara Danvers/Supergirl of Earth-38 and Barry Allen/The Flash of Earth-90.
- This appearance was more likely intended to showcase heroes from across Earth-1's timeline (and potential crossovers), much like as with the appearance of Jonah Hex, to show some of the individuals set to appear on DC's Legends of Tomorrow, which at that point had only aired three episodes.
- Ray refers to Kendra as "a real Rosie the Riveter", a reference to the American cultural icon employed during World War II.
- Rory nicknames two of his men "Fonzie" and "Kenickie". The former is a character from the 1970s/80s TV series, Happy Days, and the latter is a character from the 1971 musical Grease and its 1978 film adaptation of the same name.
- Oliver Queen is featured as an old man with goatee beard and one arm, in reference to the 1986 four-issue comic book, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns; on Earth-31, an aged Oliver Queen/Green Arrow helps an aged Bruce Wayne/Batman to beat an aged Clark Kent/Superman with a Kryptonite arrow.
- According to Oliver, the code for Felicity's old warehouse is "4587". Interestingly, this is also the inmate number Earth-1 Oliver had during his time as an inmate on Slabside Maximum Security Prison during Arrow Season 7.
- The second Green Arrow in the future, calling himself "Connor Hawke", is revealed to be the son of John Diggle. In the comics, his mother is Sandra Hawke and his father is Oliver Queen.
- The name Connor Hawke would eventually be adapted as the name of Ben Turner's son. In addition, Joseph David-Jones went on to play the future version of that character in a recurring role in Arrow's seventh season and as a series regular in the eighth season.
- Oliver mentions a warehouse at the corner of "Adams and O'Neil", referencing the creative team behind the famous Green Lantern/Green Arrow series, Neal Adams and Dennis O'Neil.
- The alley has a political poster for someone named McCallister running for office in 2040. This is a reference to Bobby McCallister, a character who became President of the United States in 2040 on the Greg Berlanti television series Jack & Bobby.
- At the end of the episode, on a back shelf in Rip Hunter's office, there is a metal pot with eye holes in it. This is the helmet of Abigail "Ma" Hunkel, the original Red Tornado.
- Oliver's cybernetic arm has a S.T.A.R. Labs logo on it, meaning it was created by them for Oliver.
Goofs[]
- When Grant Wilson is about to execute John, Jr., he places his head on a chopping block. In doing so, John, Jr.'s sheaf of arrows blocks his neck, which would have prevented Wilson decapitating him.
