• Jack stating to Angelo that "Men like you kill me" may have been a reference to his former lover Captain John Hart.
• Jack refers to time making him a fixed point (DW: Utopia)
• The creature Jack and Angelo find was intended to infect Franklin D. Roosevelt and disrupt history for the Trickster's Brigade. (DW: Turn Left, SJA: Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?, The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith, The Wedding Of Sarah Jane Smith)
