Behind the scenes
- It's unclear that Hawaii has ever been referred to as a state in Doctor Who fiction, though it's unlikely that a local American news broadcast, like the one seen on KKBE, would be referring to Hawaii unless it were a state, thus allowing them easy access to weather reports and video footage.
- The reference to snow in Hawaii being unusual is somewhat difficult to parse, as there is almost always snow on the Big Island of Hawaii every winter.
