* [[The Flux]] threat acts similar to the [[antimatter]] from the ''DC Comics'', in which the [[1980s]] event ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' had an antimatter wave destroy [[Multiverse|multiple universes]]. It is also reminiscent of the Nothing from ''[[The NeverEnding Story (film)|The Neverending Story]]'', which was a seemingly unstoppable force that swallowed up everything in its path. The Flux tears apart anything it comes across at a [[molecule|molecular level]], making it similar to the effects of [[Davros]]' [[Reality bomb]] from [[2008 (releases)|2008]]'s ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]''/''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]''. | * [[The Flux]] threat acts similar to the [[antimatter]] from the ''DC Comics'', in which the [[1980s]] event (and, later, the Arrowverse event crossover) ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' had an antimatter wave destroy [[Multiverse|multiple universes]].

* [[Dan Lewis]]' apparent dislike for [[Leeds]], and nearby [[Sheffield]], is most likely banter, stemming from the historic rivalry between [[Lancashire]] and [[Yorkshire]]. Dan is a born Liverpudlian, and the city of [[Liverpool]] was historically part of Lancashire before the reform of county boundaries in [[1974]]; both Leeds and Sheffield are typical Yorkshire cities. | * [[Dan Lewis]]' apparent dislike for [[Leeds]], and nearby [[Sheffield]], is most likely banter, stemming from the historic rivalry between [[Lancashire]] and [[Yorkshire]].
