What's left behind the scenes

  • The chemical molecule shown in the show's new intro is fictional and does not correspond to any actual substance.
  • Adam's phrase, "I reject your reality and substitute my own," is taken from the film "The Dungeon Master" (Dave Allen, Charles Band, 1984). In the movie, it is spoken by a character played by Jeffrey Byron.
