Dr. Walter Bishop: That's disturbing.

Despite being named after his character, this is the first episode to not feature Joshua Jackson, apart for a small clip from a previous episode.

The episode's opening titles have been redone as though it were a show from 1985, complete with an '80s version of the theme tune and decade- specific fringe science topics such as "stealth technology", "virtual reality", and "in-vitro fertilization".

When the movie theatre from the alternate universe is seen, it is showing "Back to the Future: starring Eric Stoltz". In fact, Stoltz did play Marty McFly in Back to the Future (1985) for a few weeks. Michael J. Fox was originally unavailable, so Stoltz did some filming, but realized that the part was not right for him. By that time, Fox had become available and did the movie.

Huh? Most of the episode was _set_ in the 1985. No time travel.
